It's the one car who brought my attention to rallye.
The one that brought my attention to AWD, and of course to Audi.

The one and only.
Audi S1
I get goose bombs of the pics.

Undoubtedly a great car. That big spoiler does make it look somewhat like a snow plow though.

Great pictures, Audiholic. The Quattro is such a great car! Michele Mouton was behind the wheels in some of those pictures. The 1980s all ladies French team was heavily criticized at the time, but it brought a lot of interest to rallying.

I think today's rallying lacks the flare and excitement of 1980s rallying. Look at the crowds in those pictures. The safety standards today are so rigorous and the 600 HP Group C rally cars are gone. Still, WRC had a fatality just a few months ago.
