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 .

[@EleanorPeterson]

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!)

[@shred316]

Skippy Le Grand Gourou Skippy Le Grand Gourou Alright, being North American, I agree that many people here are ignorant when it comes to other nationalities and what goes on there, but it’s because of what we’re fed to believe. Because stage rallies have never been mainstream, or really even held here, people here have really only heard of Group B cause it was the most extreme. If you ask show someone herea Peugeot T16, they might say it looks like a Renault LeCar and gawk about how terrible it was, to my knowledge we never got the 205 GTi. I for one have owned Alfa Romeo’s and Triumphs, I only drive manual transmissions, and I am pretty alright around a track for a novice.

vatanen was an artist behind that machine

[@kbeta]

fact: the rs1800 (the one you see there) was a homologation special escort with capri lsd rear axle, 5 speed tranny, and one of the most glorious engines ever.. the BDA 1.8 producing over 240hp at 9k rpm.. that engine is basically a cosworth DFV F1 engine cut in half and stroked to 1.8L (from 1.5). you can buy one of these magnificent engines for $60-70k but millington can sell you their modern (or period-correct) replica for half that price :P

Or Dodge

[@Eivor7340]

We need a Bradley episode badly

[@Leon_der_Luftige]

@James D Cute. As if that is hard nowadays. Yes, that Dodge.

[@merlinthebikewizard4392]

@@Leon_der_Luftige Totally agree. Chrysler Fiat is a dying brand. They don't make any money on the Demons, Hellcats, etc. Chrysler needs to make reliable econo boxes. They should have gone hybrid and electric if they wanted to stay ahead. They don't make a quality product.

Thanks for the Info MACHO MAN!

Love your content, man. I couldn't find one or maybe I simply need to look harder, but you have to cover an "everything you need to know" on the Audi R8. Especially if this beautiful naturally aspirated V10 engine soon goes obsolete and is taken over by the etron scene. It'll be a sad day when it comes - I believe some things were created for pure enjoyment and unique exhaust notes are one of those things haha
