Research: Audi Quattro
The Quattro is the car that took off for Audi in the rally world. The car was first introduced to the consumer market as the Quattro Coupe and the Quattro GT. Audi was the first company to take advantage of the World Rally Cross to allow four wheel drive systems. Before that they just thought it would be too heavy and complicated. The rally version of the car called the S1 took a win in the first rally it was in. It then took competetion after competition for two years. The original competition version produced 300 bhp. This was incredible at the time. The car was revolutionary and has had a very huge impact on the sport of rallying. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV9lFCGtwMU. This is a video of a man they call the Stig. He drives for a show called Top Gear that is shown on BBC. The show features top end cars and the testing of them.
