Audi’s Racing Heritage goes back a long way. The Audi Quattro is a legendary car that has won many rally championships. The Quattro is based off an all wheel drive platform surprisingly. Audi was heavily criticized for using an all wheel drive system once the rally regulations started allowing them. When that time came it was the jackpot for Audi.
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.
