The car that changed rallying. Launched in 1980, the Quattro put permanent four-wheel drive and a turbocharged five-cylinder engine into a coupe body, and won world rally titles for Audi and for drivers Hannu Mikkola and Stig Blomqvist. Michele Mouton also won in it, the first woman to win a world championship rally. Audi has used the quattro name on its four-wheel-drive cars ever since.
