About the book >.>.> It is difficult now with the Quattro’s success and public acceptance to re- member just what a risk Audi took in committing development funds to such a radical car – particularly in view of the company’s previously rather staid image. However Audi did take the risk and on its launch in 1980 the Audi Quattro created shock-waves throughout the motoring world which are still being felt. Overnight the Quattro redefined the public’s concept of the high-performance road car and sent other manufacturers scuttling back to their drawing boards. In terms of the future car it is likely that the Quattro will be one of the most important cars ever the kingpin around which auto- motive design turned and headed off in a new direction. Jeremy Walton realised the im- portance of this new car and quickly became one of the car’s greatest fans but Jeremy’s enthusiasm is not blindly subjective: as a seasoned motoring journalist he recognises in the Quattro a package which is brilliant in concept and execution and which in terms of cost-versus-pleasure is hard to beat. Hard to beat not only in the 137mph Quattro Coupe form but also in the less expensive Quattro 80 model which is also covered in this work. (SP)
