Since we all have now looked at the Rallycross Ford Fiesta vid, let's compare to the first of the overblown rally cars to blast up Pikes Peak: The Audi Quattro as piloted by Walter Rohrl in 1987. Enjoy!
I dont like how Audi gets all the exposure when they only lasted 1 year at the top. Their record was smashed by Peugeot who held the record for much longer than Audi ever did.
I don't think they got more exposure than Peugeot. Where's the proof that they did get more exposure? One thing for sure, there's nothing like the sound of that 20v engine..pure symphony.
Im meaning on this site...
But i agree, the Audi 5 Cylinder sound amazing!
NXRIDE Audi won Pikes Peak three years in a row... 85-87... so that was three years at the top.
Amazing...
80's are an incredible period for mecanic sports, specialy in France (I'm french...) with Peugeot Sport (205 and 405 T16, with Mister Vatanen inside ;) ).
I prefer this at the Ford Fiesta movie ^^ Songs, power, sliding, pilot skill....
