I was feeling ill the last couple of days and have been on and off social media (mostly off) so when I woke up this morning, I had several messages about this car. Oh baby...someone's feeling better already. What you see here is a 1986 Audi Sport quattro S1 E2 tribute. I've seen several for sale over in Europe; can't remember seeing one here. Here's the ad:

First up (and in our hearts) is the Audi Sport quattro S1. This car dominated rally racing so much, it changed it. quattro was declared an 'unfair advantage' when it was introduced into touring car racing. You can download it HERE.

We'll admit it. We're suckers for a cool T-shirt design and this Group B rally design from Blipshift most certainly qualifies. The car shows Audi's short wheelbase S1 catching air in the 1,000 Lakes rally.

Today's Find of the Day goes out to the scale model collectors amongst us. Rare and out of production models tend to pull a serious premium on auction sites like Ebay, and that's if you can find them at all. Take for example the Minichamps' 1:43 iteration of Walter Röhrl's 1987 Audi Sport quattro Pike's Peak racer.
Minichamps did a limited edition run (6687 units) back in 2006, complete with cool display box featuring a map of the Pike's Peak hillclimb. It seems at least one of those un...

If you had to use one word to describe the Audi 5 cylinder, it would be legendary or unforgettable or storied or...you get what I'm saying.
Full of snarls, pops, chirps, whoosh and roar, this compilation video by HillClimb Monsters is 11 minutes of pure joy. There's nothing like hearing an approaching beast and just knowing it's an Audi.
