If that was the "Kurz-Quattro",was raced thru 1984-1986,if"Lang-Quattro"was raced thru 1981-1983 PS The tarmac-spec model lasted thru 1980-1990(last version,Quattro 20V,have the brochure) |

It is 1981-83 (in 1983 in Gr. B specification but with old colors). After presentation of new Sport quattro, normal, long quattro was still in use in 1984 season. -- Last edit: 2006-11-23 19:45:08 |

Yes, especially the group B era is remarkable, the golden era of rallies, which unfortunately ended tragically. -- Last edit: 2006-11-23 20:02:56 |

In fact,after deadly accident happened in 1986 at Henri Toivonen's Lancia Delta S4(rollovered and taking fire during an Italian rally stage),that fact put the end at Group B cars,too much powerful with outpout rates next to that of a F.1 racer...Deadly damages done also the Ford RS 200 Turbo,when at Portugal Rally,get off road,hitting the audiences'crowded along rally's route,killing one of those... PS That 1986 WRC was won by Peugeot,and Italian Importer,for advertise the event in TV-commercials,knew what background music theme chosen,showihg a mixed images of Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 when races???An hit of the"Europe",titled(incidentally)..."The Final Countdown"(!)Was just an end of an era... -- Last edit: 2007-04-03 00:43:55 |

Yes, looks like it. |

Actually it was during the Tour de Corse. Both Lancias: 037 and S4 are my favourite rally cars. -- Last edit: 2006-11-23 20:36:49 |

I apologize,don't recall better the rally where was happened the Toivonen's accident |

Ask to BeanBandit if I recall better:the driver of the Quattro shown was Hannu Mikkola??? |
◊ 2006-11-23 21:08 |
I can't say sure, but could be. Mikkola was, of course, the first driver Audi hired to drive the Quattro. |
