The story of Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2

The story of the car icon of Group B!
Driven by 3 of the best drivers in the '80s (Stig Blomqvist, Hannu Mikkola & Walter Röhrl), the car shocked the fans for the 591 HP, the 5 cylinders turbo engine sound & for its body kit (people called it "Bulldozer" cause of the huge front spoiler).
This machine won only a WRC event, but it's still considered a legend of rally.

Best sounding car of all time by a country mile . They don’t make them like that any more, Audi Quattro s1 e2 😍

[@paulmcguire3511]

[@chazsach6594]

I always consider it a privilege to have lived through this era of rallying. Thanks for reminding me.

[@RatchetRalphOfficial]

Try and argue all you want but even since the start this was ALWAYS the best looker,sounder and performer, without this car no 4wd group B

[@ferranpaya8424]

I love to see thousands of people with the same passion as me and still loving the Group B nice video man!

[@SuperMirco1998]

Quality video. Well done!

[@mampe8898]

In finland when mikkola drove the s1 he said after ouninpohja stage. that "it feels like you were watching the driving outside off the car, i have heard that fighter pilot's have same feeling's". 😂😂😂 and after the stage his co-drive said "if somebody drives that stage faster i give my driving suit for him, and it was the only time ever when he spoke about mikkola driving.

[@Draco_Alpha]

Could you imagine if they were able to finish developing this monster? I’m sure it would have dominated the WRC. And would have sparked an arms race with the other manufacturers too along with it.

[@taffymk1244]

What a brilliant, well explained vid, from start to finish, well done, keep me coming👍....

[@Mlachake]

I'm humbled to have lived through this racing era, I have watched the best of the best in the world and nothing can replace Group B in the Safari Rally... Nothing. If they want real competition I suggest they reinstall the true Safari Rally. Thank you for the video.

[@posniknelb6114]

So so so spectacular.Sadly those days are long gone and never coming back😭😭😭

[@salavatjulaev5214]

Legends never die!

[@isaact_3844]

I literally cannot get the Audi quattros sound out of my head now!😃 Great video!!!!

[@timcollins4103]

Awesome video on this iconic monster of the Group B era

[@joeblogs4146]

27 sec wow!!! The Audio was a beast of a car but the Delta S4 was just as equally Insane. That to one side this was the greatest days of rallying! Brilliant video loved it keep the. Coming.

[@justaguy6560]

Audi is the king of Rally Cars

[@codysykes5568]

For those unaware, the Argentina rally has a shitton of places that are narrow and lots of hairpins. At this point in time, because of the center differential (new thing for the Group B 4WD cars to control the torque balance between front and rear drive wheels) they couldn't use the handbrake as anything but to hold all four tyres so the handbrake turn as we know it today couldn't be used. In a car that is almost 2 meters wide (1.86). With no handbrake turns, only clutch kicks and pendulum turns. To get around some hairpins they would've had to swing out opposite the oncoming corner and brake then turn back around into the corner while clutch kicking to build revs higher and make rear tyres spin to get the back around. And they did stuff like this like it was nothing :|

[@karthikeyaadeepak9327]

Stupendous video.. informative and brilliant. Big thank you from Group B fan

[@giuseppegalione1388]

Vedere di persona..il passaggio queste potenti auto..nel 1986.. dev'essere stato come vedere gli Ufo. Fantastico!!

[@MauricioPorcel]

THE BEAST!!! THE BEST!!!!.

[@supersonic1246]

[@ignaciovera8107]

[@EdAb]

Thank you!

[@Scheud91]

Brilliant video. I always wanted to know what exactly happened with the Audi in this time. Thank you for the informations.

[@javichaguin1593]

Amazing! More videos of gr.B cars, please!

[@lusilk7954]

good work bro Audi was a fearsome car

[@zlottm3236]

Really nice video!

[@revoltingpeasantry8796]

The sounds are beautiful.

[@jamesmiller3142]

Very good. Thank you

[@sedat850]

Great video ty for your time

[@nalabear97]

It is said that engineers and mechanics would often find severed fingers and appendages within the car while working on them after their races. A study done after Group B was shut down claimed that the cars were so nimble and fast, that no human could possibly remain in control of the cars as their reaction times were too slow for how fast the cars could go. These cars are impressive and powerful. So powerful in fact, that they were nearing a point where they were humanly impossible to drive safely. And this was over 30 years ago.

[@kevadams1964]

I have such a love affair with these group b cars. Especially the Audi. What a time it must have been seeing these cars race.

[@schmid1.079]

Such a good video!

[@jonnie2bad]

"walter avoids a fan in the road" bro he didnt even try to miss him hahahaha

[@MachineHeadDissent]

Great video!!!....🤙😎🤘

[@bwbethel]

Beautiful Beast!!!

[@ilias.liask2002]

Historic cars 🤩😍👌

[@soulfulfool]

amazing car its like nothing else

[@alanaugustto456]

The legend car! Fabulosus!

[@franzmayer444]

Audi won only 1 time the world Championchip, but Audi was winning a lot of Rallyes!! Audi Quatro S1 and Walther Roehrl, the best of the best! Walthers record, he won with the Audi S1 at the San Remo Ralley 39 of 45 Special Stages!

[@georgeisaak5321]

Wow i loved that car always but i didn't know all those details about it . Also i knew that S1 had around 680 bhp , now i see 591 here , not insanely far though ...anyway thanks for this video and information !

[@adi326]

Imagine owning such a beast of a car. Forget the 1000hp JDM cars I think I would be more afraid of driving this thing

[@micheltanguy9237]

j'ai toujours kiffé les caisses de rallye, mais cette époque c'était la meilleure !

[@AmirPomen]

Do you have any clip showing the audi pdk onboard footage?

[@donfinch862]

Thanks

[@dpkeys]

Do you have a source for that on-board footage from 9:26-on?

[@johngreen1683]

That car is sick!!!

[@fantastichunterwow2906]

4:16 i knew somthing was wrong with the car it doesn’t normally sound that raspy

[@staatssekretardingsbums5592]

Gefällt mir sehr gut.

[@basvandongen7043]

Audi Quattro s1 are the most brutal rally cars ever

[@mssmmgnn]

really nice work, I'd say. Who loves such an icon for sure will appreciate it a lot, like me (if I can give you just a lil'suggestion, maybe I'd have placed the comment in the lower part, instead of the higher: I think it could be more "istinctively" noticed (and followed) Anyway... great vid, especially for someone like me: I agree with you above all on two points: the unforgettable and unmistakable sound of the five-cylinder, and the impressive acceleration at the exit of the corners. In addition to this, another of its strengths is the "ease" to control in skidding (although in the comment you report an "incurable understeer", Id not think to see it. Maybe the matter could be drivers skill. F. ex., another Group B car tha for real has an incurable understeer, is the Renault Clio 16v. In a lot of vids here on YT you can see it... that car has FOR REAL the bad habit to always go straight, pilots have a hard time trying to skid with the rear

[@jimmyeastwoodjonnyfleeeast1578]

Brilliant

[@barfuss2007]

only Walter Röhrl is able to drive this car.

[@egalusmaximus9818]

@barfuss2007: This is not a car, it is a beast of driving machine.

[@jimmyeastwoodjonnyfleeeast1578]

Stig was good also, so was Michele.

[@andersisacson8262]

Stig Blomqvist learned Walter how to drive with leftbraking to set up the car in a curve. Stig had driven front wheel driven cars all his life, Walther had not. Since a 4wd behavs simular to a front driven car in corners you can set up with left breaking. Just a little fact.

[@Cheeseinhaler500]

Make more videos like this!

[@Vazin]

Sad that Audi's engineers weren't allowed to build a mid-engined fully bred rally car. The Quattro was basically a Group 4 car in Group B.

[@alonsocabezon1]

gracias|

[@garrygriefer2209]

@TheRUB picture at 8:36 from Monte Carlo? Where I could find it?

[@TheRUBrally]

Rallymania.forumfree.it

[@hrishikeshtalekar7063]

However it did not won many races but it won many people's Hearts no doubt about that!

[@thatrato]

when the car was driving in the limiter, the understeer could suddenly turn into oversteer, and it was very difficult to get the quattro under control + due to the placement of the engine, the car had a bad weight distribution

[@TheAndreykko]

I just love 5 cylinders cars, I bet this one could reach 200 mph if it the gears helped to do so, but in rallies I guess that it was not easy to get more then 140 mph, so that's ok, anyway that's a lovely german beast

[@a-dog8075]

Where is part 1?

[@carlosmagnus717]

And the winner was ... another more agile car, with a smarter mechanical layout. Proof of all this: Constructors and Drivers Rally World Championship in 1985 and 1986. With exhibition in the Monte Carlo Rally of 1985, tracing 8 minutes of penalty.

[@xsduprwd3937]

And yet most people don't know what you are talking about, because the car that won the hearts of the fans was the Audi.

[@grzegorznatkaniec5144]

Quattro 😀👍💪

[@7spower998]

Yeah the S1 E2 was the scariest of them all

[@rubencereijomujico3593]

Can you do more videos like this? I thought that this car only won the Pikes Peak. I didn't knew it won a rallye

[@barfuss2007]

with Walter Röhrl

[@connorw07yt7]

shame the ol girl won only one rally event, still put on great shows!

[@stymanzz5384]

Got this Car in Forza today

[@antrace92]

Way easier to drive than dirt 2.0 😂 However they're both fun

[@geraldswain3259]

F1 drivers !....Walter Rohrl ate them for breakfast ! .

[@lowerless]

doesnt mention michele mouton.. wtf

[@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin]

And why would she be in it? She never drove the thing, barring like 2 DNF's on the British circuit.

[@lowerless]

oh she never drove that model ?

[@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin]

@@lowerless Not really. Every other iteration of the quattro except that one. She didn't like the E2 apparently, and switched to the T16 instead.

[@jimmyeastwoodjonnyfleeeast1578]

Didn't Michele drive on in the Isle of man ?

[@Lanciadelta_S4]

7:33

[@quoddles3411]

Nice post..!! How about you put the original audible commentry and sound on your your video..??

[@TheRUBrally]

I think that the pure engine sound Is not a bad idea

[@spicekid2582]

The first place

[@pedrorodrigues7285]

This car was like a panzer.

[@denissjersovs8965]

👍🎅👍

[@user-vf2pg4ve4n]

Americans "over 240Mph on an oval" Europeans: OK but what about going over 250Kmph on a dirt road?... yeesh OK you win

[@usb_kabel3829]

Audi wanted to make a new one with 1000 HP and Röhrl tested it once

[@traceyprescott8347]

Rumour has it that the last works cars were doing 800 brake, the major issue was keeping them cool.

[@muhammadyousaf6203]

Anyone here from trhamza?

Why wont audi come back to rallying.
