Audi Sport Quattro 500HP | More Fun Than A Hypercar?!

[@6pistons]

The unmistakable sound of the Audi inline 5 cylinder engine!!!

[@carswithluke]

Doesn’t get much better !

[@spacedust2270]

I wondered why anyone didn't make a 7cyclinder engine 🤔

[@6pistons]

@@spacedust2270 engineering challenges I guess.

[@Pickchore]

Except it sounds like the Fiat and Volvo / Ford units. I know where you’re coming from though. In a forest during a Group B rally it was definitely unmistakable as it roared in the distance.

[@rogerstalder7184]

I had an Audi 80 2.3. its the same Engine just not Charged. they all sound the same :) and yea it is a very unique sound thats for sure.

[@denisspratt926]

This is certainly more interesting then a supercar and hypercar. This is a car for real petrolheads. Most super/hypercars are owned by people with to much money and just want to have it as an investment and/or bragging rights. And yes a build like this is expensive, but only real petrolheads still remember these. This is probably more fun as it is more analog, and smaller. Personally I´d probably go down the Alfaholics route if I ever get to afford one. Nice video.

[@ferdibuchbauer284]

exactly🤝 Absolut dream😍😍😍

[@nl3712]

This, alfaholics or a singer? Perhaps include an rs4 avant safari too?

[@paulthomson9014]

Agree 👍 money no object I'd have a garage full of useable 80s and 90s cars like this , quattro , hf integrale rs500 cossies ,lotus carlton the lot , would however have a 288gto and 959 because , well why not . They're stunning

[@friktionrc]

If it wasn’t for cars like this, a lot of modern cars wouldn’t exist. The original Audi Quattro was built for rallying and since then nearly all manufacturers have some sort of 4wheel drive car (note I said car not 4x4 /SUV) in their line up…and that’s before we get to all the other stuff. HyperCard are great for one or probably 2 things - going fast on smooth flat roads and looking good. Cars like this are equally as good driving down to your local shops, honing around some off road rally track, messing about on an asphalt race track etc etc…in short you will always have more fun …..✊

[@williampeter6593]

if you drive this in Europe, people honk and flash at you when you pass by them, in itself its priceless haha

[@cotter_and_company_photography]

When every car manufacturer was doing “retro” models, why didn’t Audi recreated this model!!! Could you imagine how cool that would have been....😢

[@carswithluke]

I feel Audi are so focused on only promoting electric now but saying that a retro model of this in electric would still be cool.

[@whatsup8464]

There is a special model made by Audi in electric based on the quattro sport..it looks awesome...called the e legend🤔

[@niconicht4982]

Couldn’t the TTRS be considered a close relative of the sport quattro? In essence they are both the highest perfomance of their lineup, lightweight, all wheel drive coupes.

[@sneeuwballa]

@@niconicht4982 The ttrs is a 5cyl Golf R with a different exterior and no proper quattro.

[@tomf.3951]

Check out the ELegend Quattro! Its a RestoMod new designed Quattro but fully electric 👀

[@SpeedComparer]

The sound is just something else....

[@carswithluke]

Dreamy

[@LOOKINVERTED]

@@carswithluke Yeah the 5 cyl.. its musical equivalent - the 'major third' on its own is unique (though of course the V10 also has this 'major third' but not as pronounced as the 5 cyl as they've 'perfect fifth' octave companions that you get from 6 cyls, but all combined).

[@andreatanzi3191]

This reminds me when I was 15-16 and living in Ticino. You could here that addicting noise everyday from extreme Deltas, Sierras, Renaults, Alpines, Audis, Bmws and Ferraris flying by in the backroads of Lugano. Personally, I associate true automotive engineering with that, and those among us having had the chance to experience these cars will agree, that everything else is for kids ..

[@JoshHitti]

Hahaha thank you for leaving the seatbelt part in 😂 The ‘QUATTRO” logo built into the rear defroster lines is such a nice detail.

[@carswithluke]

😂🤷‍♂️

[@amyebinger6726]

On all real quattro's 😉

[@JoshHitti]

@@amyebinger6726 that’s such a cool feature - I assume aftermarket glass doesn’t include it.

[@amyebinger6726]

@@JoshHitti don´'t know for sure but you can recognise a GT from a quattro thru that glass

[@philipmessedger481]

I’m in my early fifties and been a sport quattro lover since my teenagehood. I had promised myself to get one if I ever could afford it, but they had produced so few models, which are now so insanely expensive, that the dream was bound to remain one and never be materialized. Although still expensive, the LCE Performance cars allow me to hope again. One day, one day….

[@davidfitzpatrick4041]

This was one of the greatest cars ever produced by any manufacturer. In the 1990's to be able to extract a 0 - 60 time of 4 secs was unheard of. To this day, it is one of the fastest best handling ICE cars that there is. I had the non turbo road version of this car for 3 years and it was just a joy to drive.

[@Pazaluz]

Man, that is the best built I've ever seen on a sport Quattro!! I always favored the red ones, but black with gold rims looks so slick... And an amazing interior

Oh yes, that's one way to finish the weekend. Looks beautiful, but I can't imagine maintaining that black paint if I were to drive it on some gravel roads. :D The whole interior is a thing of beauty, but the steering wheel is absolutely wonderful. My all-time favourite is 991.2 GT3RS wheel but I dare to say this one looks just as good as Porsche's. Truly incredible car and a great video - just enjoying that beast with a little narrative.

[@MaxStraesser]

Love everything in this video - the car, the cinematography, the enthusiasm you so viscerally display. Brilliantly done again, Luke.

[@lucadreier22]

the wheels are sadly awful

[@Mrakanie]

i love it how this car didn't look..."mean'...it looks like a nice sports coupe, well designed and all, but compared to what you get underneath the hood was just astonishing. What was even more exciting is the potential this car had(has). Audi really made something else with that 5cyl turbo engine. Perfect enthusiast monster. 🐌

[@guillaume8653]

Man's smiling up to his ears before even entering the car. Says it all! Cheers, Luke, great video.

[@hristohristov8787]

[@AshleyRobinson-os1xb]

80's Square cars are iconic & something about their design speaks to me. ✌️

[@EliteSwedenPhotography]

Miss my old 400hp Audi S2 hearing this, this is definitely one of my dream cars. Grew up with the 80's and 90's cars and I just love them, it was so much more mechanical back then, if you messed up a corner and ended up in a ditch, it was your own damn fault and lack of skills that put you there. Would take the sport quattro over Porsche, lambo and Ferrari any day.

[@Birmingham_racing]

Love the 5 cylinder engine sound

[@carswithluke]

One of the best forever I think

[@shmulikschor9526]

Amazing video. Excellent photography. The turbo noise is better than any other sound

Just wanna give some appreciation to the intro music choice. It's almost as if the producer was looking at that car when he made it, hahaha.

If i would win the lottery, my first car i would buy, would not be a supercar, it would be the Audi Sport Quattro. What an amazing piece of art!!

[@db8556]

Back in the 90's, a local guy here owned 2 of the reportedly 10 total sold into the U.S. A white one and a green one. He drove the living piss out of them at track days, taking people for rides. What a ride, what a sight, what a sound!

[@MrGamman3yt]

In the 90s, a guy had one, and he was maybe asking 10k. He mentioned how he (in the 90s), had over 10k in repairs. And he never even did the engine, Trans or diff. It was rack, brakes, etc etc. I can't imagine maintaining a 500hp one of these.

[@ETH85]

If rather have one of these over most super or hyper cars.. looks insane and sounds unreal 👍

Honestly all day over Bugatti and so on...

[@peterhenriksson605]

[@joetad1956]

Id say a car like that is more fun than a hyper car, even if it does not perform anywhere near of what a hyper car can, its about the experience and analog cars like these offer the best expereince.

[@chrisgravel7157]

My DREAM car when I was in my late teens after driving my parents 4000s Qualttro was the sport Quattro. Tesher made one with a mad bodywork and wheel setup OMG. If I had time and money I would love to rebuild a 4000s Quattro but perhaps drop in the 10 Valve trubo motor instead. This 500hp Sport is amazing but to me it was Audi's amazing balance and dynamics that made the car unforgetable, that and the best sounding powerplant ever...

[@Creyzooo]

amazing balance and dynamics? the sport quattro is a legendary car, but far away from being balanced and dynamic. Very short wheelbase and the motor placed in front of the axle make it very very front heavy and even röhrl said it was hard work to drive it fast. In rally spec they swapped EVERYTHING possible from the front to the back like water and oil tanks, cooling, pumps etc to get somewhat of a balanced car

[@chrisgravel7157]

@@Creyzooo Fair enough for the coupe, I did not notice this as much with the sedan and it was for street use. This was the 80/4000 qualttro not the super short wheelbase Sport Quattro. For me I could 4 wheel slide this car, and place it withing inches of where I wanted to be in a corner and it was a dream to really learn how to performance drive. Perhaps the new BRZ/FRS is a good comparo but neither the WRX or any Subaru I've driven owned come close to being as fun and communicative, nore balanced at the limit.

[@Kaktuskastl]

This headline itself goes completely wrong. This Audi really IS a hypercar! It's so enjoyable watching you having that much fun!

[@Manu-Official]

I once had a choice between an Audi and a 911 turbo. I went full Quattro. About the ''feels more than that when turbo kicks in'' feeling, I did scare myself on a couple of occasions with a spooled turbo while downshifting in first, the car turns into a missile without drama, there is no wheel spin.

[@didik121]

I have a Porsche 944 conversion with that Audi 5-cylinder-engine with "only" 420hp, due to original pistons and compression ratio. Advantage is to have same response and power as series Audi Cars had at lower rpm. Anyway, I fully agree: No car I ever drove made more fun than this! And I dont need to be the fastest on the road or track to have great fun with that engine: it is simply fun at any speed, due to typical sound at low rpm, turbo sounds at mid rpm and enough power at high rpm... keep going!

Great video Luke, you have the envy of everyone who's watched this video, I had a close friend who had one of these new almost 40 yrs ago, in white for the time it was stupid fast and nothing could catch until maybe 60-70 mph and he had a formula 2 racing license in Canada, and really knew how to drive the car, in winter it was brilliant with 4 studded tires almost unstoppable, we live in Central Canada and would drive to Lake Louise Alberta which is about 1000 miles to the parking lot of the ski resort in under 11 hrs in the winter from door to door and did it 3 times in one winter , the only part that wasn't a blast were the speeding tickets, ouch around$ 1800.00 between us, it was worth every dollar, good times, these builds by LCE even the first variant is a good price at 90k Euros for the amount of work that goes into a unit ❤️ just wish i had the other 45k needed to buy a base unit
