Imagine the greatest all-wheel drive system in the world coupled to a capable, highly tunable turbo 5-cylinder in a sporty, classic looking 2-door hatchback. That's what you get with the highly sought after Ur-Quattro imported into the US between 1983 and 1985.

History
The Ur-Quattro (meaning original Quattro in German) is essentially the street-legal derivative of the winning Audi Turbo Coupe Rally car. Only 240 models were imported to the US in 1983, followed by 65 in 1984, and 73 in 1985. The package included the venerable 10V 5-cylinder intercooled turbo and 15x8 Ronal light alloys driving the all-time all-wheel drive Quattro system.
