I owned a 1984 Ur-Quattro one of my all time favorite cars. Saved my life once when I was forced off the highway and into the median grass and was able to drive out of the grass a and maintain control of the car.
You owned? I hope you didnt sell it. I hope you crashed it (without dangerous consequences for you and your passengers). I hope someone stole it for a crime to do and set it on fire after that. But sell that car? Dude... you dont do that
yeah because your car was made to rally from the factory ! Once i had the chance to get in this car in conventional form and the driver was kind enough to show me what that beast was able to do . You could cook coffee in it at 200 km/h , it was that stable , we took a nice open right turn on a highway with 180 and it didn't even squeal the tires .
We hope you enjoyed our exploration of the legendary Audi Quattro! What other cars we should dive into on future episodes Up to Speed? We want to hear from you!
@@rob0079 AFAIK no one died in Group B that involved a Peugeot, spectators, drivers or co drivers. Lancia's and Ford's are a different matter though. There was a fatality in '87 which was the first year of Group A though that involved a Peugeot. A Co driver called Jean-Michel Argenti.
Thank you so much for this video! Nerdy driving point: the rally Quattros were an absolute nightmare to drive quickly; they were really hard work - heavy and awkward and badly balanced. The turbo lag was terrible and drivers like Mikkola, Mouton, Rohrl and [the] Stig [Blomqvist] developed left-foot braking to overcome it. That's where and why it originated. Yes, really. The 4-wheel-drive transmission was so crude that rally rivals mocked it (until they started losing to it big-time in their rear-wheel-drive cars), calling it 'agricultural'. Audi were known for producing smooth, silent, efficient road-cars, but the works rally guys didn't give a toss; one proudly embraced the agricultural tag and described his Quattro as "The world's fastest tractor." (I was a club-level amateur rally driver during the Group-B period. Never got to drive one of the works monsters but had a lot of fun. All these years later, the Audi 5-cylinder in Group-B trim still produces the best engine sound I've ever heard. And I've heard a lot. They were getting 600bhp out of it towards the end of the era!)
man i really wish i was around back then, i was born in '05 so i wasnt really around for the golden ages lf rally. i would love to be a rally driver thatd be fuckin sick

Platinumgunx It’s an 85 s1 sport. And it’s still in production currently has not yet been discontinue by Lego. And as someone who’s favorite car is the Audi Quattro it Captures the car pretty well
I was seriously watching Group B rally videos yesterday and I thought to myself it would be nice Donut Media did a video on the Audi Quattro. Lo and behold a day later you guys literally give me the gold. Love you guys to death!
I agree, the RS200 was a dope ass car (Group A racing chassis, cosworth engine mounted midship with the trans in front), but it never won anything and Ford has had plenty of videos on Donut. Can we give a video the an under appreciated car maker like Lancia or Alfa Romeo. Saab got one, and it was great! RS200/Escort Cosworth can be the video after that, this can be the month of rally ^^
But how about trans am series and imsa gto, audi did racing with quattro systems there too. They were so good that the americans didint invite them to the trans am again after 1988.
Another great video with all the background research needed to make a full story. I have never cared about pronouncing names correctly. Most people respect you for doing your best to pronounce their name correctly. The fact that you’re attempting Humphrey, is more then enough. Keep the great videos coming.
He butchered those names left and right, even though those names were pronounced correctly in some of the clips. ;) To be fair, Piëch is rather complicated name and there isn't even a way to type the dieresis on the "e" on a german keyboard. I wonder if the pronounciation of Names in other languages would sound as bad as the german ones. XD
He missed some stuff. After group B Audi went to USA to participate in Trans AM and IMSA series, where they dominated again. Americans even banned them from Trans AM due to unfair advantage, because their engineers were too lazy to innovate. Just imagine Audi GTO model, which still had 5 cylinders and small turbo to surpass V8's on track.
These videos and the Past Gas podcast give me a way to share my love for cars with my girlfriends kids. Kudos for creating content that lets me build a decent relationship and educate these kids at the same time. Fun and light yet packed with anything/everything worth knowing. Thanks to everyone at Donut media and the Past Gas podcast for what you do. Great job 😊
Lol it’s Funny you just commented cause it gave me a notification, and guess what, my bumper just got messed up and the parts are nonexistent anymore it’s gonna cost me 2300 dollars R.I.P. and they totaled the car even though it only has 90,000 miles on it
Yhh Fi damn yeah your best bet would be pick a parts but who wants used parts. Sorry to hear your loss homie I just hope the accident wasn’t your fault
Chubb Fatz yea it wasn’t my fault but I’m from Michigan and there is no fault, plus they totaled it but yea. I’m trying to find the parts but I don’t even know where to start 😵

2:10 Yes, and I'm in stitches and amazement in how many unthinkable ways you were able to butcher and quarter them XD 7:30 I think you hit the nail on the head there regarding Group B. Everyone went crazy: The manufacturers, the drivers and the spectators.
My friend had one of those early 80s 5 cylinder audi quattro's back in high school in the mid and late 90s. Another good thing about those cars is they have a very small trunk and we managed to smash a daul 12in JL sub box in it. All the bass came straight into the cabin and everything in it hit hard.

Five cylinders is evil, should be banned.

Rally racing usually occurs in pretty remote stretches of road that would be too hard to patrol.
The Modern WRC cars are as fast as Group B cars now though.
@@JustusKuroVT Curent WRC cars are way faster than Gr.B. Even older WRC cars would destroy Gr. B cars. Rallying is not about raw power.

When you say a finnish name, remember that when there are double letters (like in Hannu Mikkola) the letters are pronouced longer.
