Model history

The Audi Quattro Type 85 – often referred to as the "Urquattro" – was the first production vehicle with permanent all-wheel drive and a turbocharged engine in 1980. It was based on the Audi Coupé from the B2 series and was equipped with a 2.1-litre five-cylinder turbocharged engine with 200 hp. The Quattro set new standards in traction and driving dynamics – both on the road and in rallying, where it enjoyed numerous successes in the 1980s. Around 11,500 units were built until 1991. To this day, the Urquattro is considered a technical flagship and icon of Audi's history.
