When looking at the Audi’s Racing Heritage it’s important to understand the Quattro as it has had a huge impact on it. No one was expecting the Quattro to go very far. However, it won its debut race and silenced all the doubters. That car also dominated the rally racing sport for another two years after that. Following the racing success of the Quattro, Audi found itself buried in excess orders of a car that was supposed to be a failure.

Since the days of the Quattro redefining Audi’s Racing Heritage, the Quattro system has been updated and is a basis for several of Audi’s cars. This has caused Audi to have a good portion of the all wheel drive market as only Subaru has even come close to matching what Audi has done. Most of the company’s current success goes back to Audi’s Racing Heritage. Having achieved success in touring and the championships of the Quattro system has set the company beyond where it was ever expected to be. Recently the company has won several races between 2000 and 2005 that will no doubt become a part of Audi’s Racing Heritage.
