About the car
In 1980, during the Geneva Motor Show, the German car manufacturer presented to the public its new two-door coupé called Audi Quattro. Produced for all the '80s the Italian name chosen by Audi, (Quattro is the Italian word for “four”) it was pointed out the main feature and the most important selling point : the four-wheel drive. It was the first time that the 4x4 solution was adopted on a coupé with the goal to achieve high numbers in terms of production and sales on the market.
The Audi Quattro was able to release good driving performance, thanks to its frontal longitudinal engine, and very good reliability on all type of road conditions.
From the mass production a dedicated car for competitions was developed on 1981 and it debuted in the World Rally Championship, achieving good results.
The success of “Quattro” cars is still existing today in fact the name has become a real “brand” that identifies all the range of Audi’s four wheel drive production.

That looks darned familiar- is this not a repop of a much older model?

I have a feeling it might be the Esci kit. Andy

Wonder how it compares to the quite hard to find and when you do, expensive 2nd hand Tamiya version?

Doesn't Tamiya own Italeri now (or at least hve a relationship with them)? I suspect it is the Tamiya kit.

Still like to know how it compares though.
