Building Audi's missing Car.. Audi quattro Group S RS001 (Part 3) How its fabricated

[@AxelGrassi]

I'm having a lot of fun filming & editing this series. It's such a special build & a real honour to be able to showcase it to the world! There are some absolute wizards on board too & it's a pleasure to learn about certain parts of the process.

[@bernardwarr4187]

Very professional production. You are a pro

[@AxelGrassi]

Thank you my friend! 😁 Glad you’re enjoying the videos

This build is my favourite. In the '80s there were PLENTY of protorypes built, used and demolished and only a few pictures are available about them. I'm an engineer, I've already designed motorcycles, this is for me one of the absolutely perfect projects. Designing the balance, calculating the parts' places in the vehicle, finding out where and what to build in. This is pure gold. But I just recognized that the front fenders (or wings) are somewhat different from the original ones on the pictures, the wheel arches were slightly bigger. Can't wait for the final version of the vehicle. Absolutely stunning!

9:23 best non-cnc-machined hub mounting plates, EVER!

I cannot tell you how impressed I am with the design and build of this extraordinary Quattro - my congratulations to all involved - just incredible effort and engineering brilliance.

[@BrandonFreyman]

Ever since I found out they made that car, I thought it was a shame nobody tried to build one. This build will be in a class of its own and I can't wait to follow along with the progress!! Just looking at the mockup of it I can't imagine how much of a monster this is going to be.

[@rightwheeldrive]

Amazing build. One of my many dreams has been to build this thing. Golden age of motorsports.

[@Abigailrp]

nice to see some actual footage of work being done, this creation is a real jewel. Sublime minds involved

[@bernardwarr4187]

Been following Jon at the Pod for many years. His turnout is always top of the game. He has build a lot of cars now.

[@benclamp2321]

It’s great to see people using old engineering… unfortunately there’s not many old fashioned engineers left 😢 keep up the good work 👍

[@andycarlin2168]

Great job guys, so looking forward to the next installment, Dave your magic at mapping engines, but, your face when he was talking about camber, caster and roll centres was great, it was just going over your head 😂

[@jensschmidtke9511]

For me, this is the most exciting and interesting project of 2023/24. I'm looking forward to many more videos and of course the final vehicle. Keep it up. You're great.

[@mk1cortinatony395]

Brilliant episode Dave and Jon. this build couldve been a 2 year you tube and we would all be hooked every week!. some more about the details in a seperate vids would be awesome. Love the 5 pot sioce GP B days. Tony-ex MR2 engine builder :)

[@AshleyAinsworth]

Loving the updates, thanks for sharing. Carl's car as well....awesome!

[@mjaymo]

Loving this build series 👏

[@alastairmitchell9681]

This is the ultimate project. One that I would love to do myself if I ever get the budget. I build projects myself (albeit a much tighter budget) andI have put the old aan 5 cylinder turbo into a space frame, mid engine transaxle, 700 kg total weight. Engine has been rebuilt, forged internals, cat camshafts with solid lifters, custom intake and exhaust manifold built myself. I bought tig welder , lathe and milling machine which helps do these projects. I have also built a space frame to house a Subaru turbo RA using shortened version of the 4wd transmission. This has a total weight of 850kg This project of yours is a whole new level, I completely admire what you are doing and what you have done already with pikes peak Audi. have done. I will be watching this new adventure of yours every step of the way as this is my dream build some day.

[@RubenGama-up2wl]

im in love for that project

[@EAFXtrader]

Really looking forward to seeing this car completed. Best of luck guys 👍

[@tomscustomshop]

Great stuff, Jon’s work is just masterpiece after masterpiece. A man with so much knowledge and time for everyone. Look forward to seeing more of the build series 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@gafrers]

Fantastic. Great Skills and Knowledge

[@liammckinney3345]

cool as dave

[@anaisshepherd6019]

Dream team and a car that is going to set the internet on 🔥

[@michalmusil6611]

awesome!

[@marqsNL]

@auditradition should visit you guys, or you should visit them with tha final car! Go on gentlemen! Greetings from Malaysia

[@EPSDaveRowe]

Thanks for the comments, I would love to take the car to show the guys at Audi once its done.

[@gibbonarms]

Is that procharhed hemi complete with Dillard tax?

[@dspencer8827]

I wonder what the actual wheelbase is of the mid engine audi quattro

[@georgehelliar]

Calculating cost amd time is easy: take your original estimates, and multiply by pi

[@ManilvaRS]

Why did Audi mount it longitudinally like the RS and S1, instead of transversely like the T16 which seemed to be the better all rounder?

[@19ZORES72]

One pot too much?

[@964cuplove]

Well you could always try and write to gumpert and find out, also arguably AUDI did NOTHING on that car, the engineers did this against the will of AUDI

[@raditz4309]

Damn, this is really making me waana turn my s2 into rear engine, do you know if you can run the engine counter clock wise?, with an 01e in the rear axle

[@EPSDaveRowe]

Dont think running the engine around the wrong way would be the best idea sorry to say

[@blackdoublezero]

Binky lite

[@SuperForestfighter]

Proper

[@scottsvxr]

😎👍👌

[@IanPilkington-y9g]

Awesome...would have running RHD been easier for engine and transition layout??

[@EPSDaveRowe]

No as its about the same to make the car LHD or RHD but the way the cars prop shaft's are its better to take up space on the RH side with these. Also all the works Audi's where LHD and I love driving that side also..

[@amaliagrassi6870]

Blobby blobby

[@davewelch1522]

All these workshops are far too tidy!!! Not a bloody spec of dust anywhere! Must be some women involved somewhere 😂😂

[@EventHorizon13]

Am I being stupid or would it not be preferable to have the drive mirrored left to right as in the engine and gearbox being opposite side to driver and the drive line goin down the length neer to the driver obviously the both pretty central but relative to each other or was it a case of where the input/ output shafts Wer on gearbox/ transfer box ,would simply spinning the gear box make it running backwards, I kno the question is very long and probably worded quite retardedly thank for a great project this is stands alone in a casem of rinse and repeat car builds on utube
