The latest episode of the Audi | Behind the Rings podcast series has landed, examining how the brand with the four rings took four wheels and developed arguably its most iconic technology: quattro.
Host Alex Goy is joined by Audi expert David Ingram and test driver Harald Demuth, who were both there at the birth of a legend. They fire up the Quattro to tell the wild and wonderful story of a 1980s phenomenon that still resonates today.
What exactly is quattro? Why did it revolutionise rally driving? How did a motorsport sensation influence technology accessible to the everyday driver? These questions, and many more, are answered by the trio in the podcast’s usual irreverent style.
David explores how the technology has developed over the years, playing a part across the Audi range to this day, while Harald recounts a few hairy episodes behind the wheel of the Quattro, in locations from Africa to the UK. Plus, that famous moment he took to a ski slope with an 80 per cent incline in an Audi 100 CS quattro!
