  • This week I am looking at four cars from Audi UK's secret collection, filmed at their own workshop. Today we are looking at an incredible piece of machinery - a real 1996 Audi A4 Touring Car. These were all dominating cars in their hey day, and even now they are gorgeous to behold.

    4:20 Audi was ahead of the rivals with the dual Port and Direct Injection System. A direct descendent from the Le Mans winner LMP1 R8 V8 FSI engine.

    The a4 b5 has a multilink front axle (4link) as standard, as well as a double wishbone rear axle (only the quattros) that’s why everyone loves the driving charcteristics of a b5 quattro, the first and lightest of all round multilink suspension small audi limousines and avants

    • @titaniclp1851

      extra: The fwd versions of the A4 B5 have a torsion beam rear axle. Cheaper to maintain, but the car feels a little bit more unstable and less confident on high speed corners.

    Great to see that! I have seen a couple of super tours up close at Knock hill and brands hatch. Knock hill had Vauxhall cav, one of these, the honda accord, ford Mondeo, ( the older one, which was the only one to survive) I think there was an one of the older BMWs from the late 80s. Only four went around the circuit I remember, the Audi sadly never ran. The cav was restored from what I remember, the others were just used for shows, Bar the honda which was used as a raced. But retired, that maybe back in action again for the hscc, which a lot of these super tours came back. I do remember when me and my dad going to croft to see the BTCC in 1999, We had the chance to hear the Volvos on tick over, they were noisy! The tech was wearing ear muffs, He just had checked the wheels, and then gave the engine a blip for us! Sounded well vicious! Shame this era died, Not to keen on the NGTC regs the btcc has now. I have noticed though in the last few years the manufactures have started to go back to this with the TCR regs. Which I love the idea!

    6:20 B5 A4's definitely did not have McPherson strut front suspension. They had an otherwordly, overly complex multi-linkish setup, that frankly, was not very durable. Not double wishbone, for sure, but probably closer to that in function than a strut setup.

      The supertouring rules meant that the race car suspension has to follow the road car (in principle anyway) so wholesale swapping of strut for double wishbone was not allowed. Many manufacturers designed the road cars with the race cars in mind.

    When I was young my dad worked for NDFS and had to man the stand for them at the various county shows and as such we'd go to visit him/see the show. One year their stand was opposite the big Audi and Vauxhall displays where they had Biela's A4 and Warricks Vectra (I'd guess this was around 98/99 at either the Devon/Cornwall show) on display, it had been a typical British summer and both of the manufacturers had been having trouble with their electrics due to rain and so the NDFS crew let them make use of their tea and coffee making facilities. As a result I got given a close up tour of the cars, had a sit in the Audi, got given some posters and other merchandise but the highlight came at the end of the show when they were packing everything away and I got a ride around the car park in the Vectra . I don't think he got it out of second gear but being that I was kneeling on a pile of coats and hanging onto the roll cage that was plenty exciting enough for my young brain. I can't recall much else apart from it being super loud and everything rattled.

    I first watched racing as a kid when john clelland was driving a mk2 escort like a nutter then i got the bug for touring car i loved it so much i bought and modified a primera GT to look the same but frank biela driving that fxxxxxg thing blew my mind the first time i seen him pass through duffas dip at knockhill on 4 wheels not 2 like the rest it was like an f1 car. Great videa mate takes me back to the best days of paint and body exchanging racing 👍👍

    Did a quick search as was curious as to the power output/displacement, came up with this from a similar car which sold in 2016 for £112k
    305 hp, 1,995 cc DOHC four-cylinder engine with Bosch Motronic 2.8 management, six-speed sequential transmission, front and rear independent double-wishbone suspension, and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with adjustable balance.

    Minor point; the Sierra RS500 not the Escort (Cosworth) was the Group A car of the era.

    Great car - it followed on from the Audi 80, also raced by Biela in the European Championship) and then led the WTCC - esp in 1996 IIRC winning 7 championships (Minichamps made a special display of all cars). Forming Club Audi Australia, we followed it for 5 years and had a ball at each race and of course the Bathurst 12 hours. Really great days and I still have the Tamiya 1:10 RC model to build bought from Beatties in 1997 ;-)

    Hopefully in next instalments when it's running. You can get under the car. The gearbox (vs roadgoing version), underfloor flat aero, alternator setup (for the time) was pretty cool engineering too.

    Correct me if I am wrong Jay but my understanding is that b4 80/90 audis were McPherson struts up front. All B5's were 5 link f double wishbone rear. The B5 was the first chassis to switch from Mcpherson F/E to a 5 link F/E w a virtual steering axis allowed by the complex mechanics of the 5 link set up

    One of the early season races at Thruxton Biela had a shunt in qualifying and had to start from the rear. He ended up on the podium.
    In a sprint race in the dry. That's how dominant this car was. Although I remember the Dunlops were more durable than the competition at the time which would've helped at Thruxton...

    Totally agree with you that this era of the BTCC was the magical era, the Volvo 850 estate, Audi A4, BMW 3 series and even the Cavalier/ Vectra were decent in those days on the track and some of the personalities of the drivers such as John Cleland when he got took out by Steve Soper in 1992 really made it entertaining.

      @@OsellaSquadraCorse I stand corrected, my memory said it was the other way round but having watched it again you're right, Cleland made the first hit so he was at fault.
