I used to have a yellow and white quattro as a toy car when I was a kid in the 80's. Fascinating to see the legendary Roland Gumpert with his team, covered in dirt, changing a gearbox in rural Ivory coast.
This documentary tells the success of Audi in the 80s and 90s. Watch the newer documentaries "Truth in 24" and "Truth in 24 II". Audi's dominance in Motorsports continues. You can even search Le Mans 24 hour race wins and you'll find Audi have been dominating and are still winning.
They won at Dakar as well and announced entering in F1 recently (both Audi & Porsche) because that is the only missing link in motorsport so yeah.. first year entering in F1 -Audi will supply engines + gearboxes and the Porsche partner-up with RedBull team.. so it will be interesting to see how good they will perform as a new entering in F1 as well..
49:42 I love the trinket of useless knowledge of pitstops, I am proud o my German heritage and having been a former Audi tech, I love it, of all the innovations Audi has achieved that is a very, very interesting, and cool piece of info, thumbs up, thank you
Agree.. I was about to mentioned this when I saw your post.. Audi was a true mechanical beast, the first brand to put in rally the Quattro(AWD) system but even so it couldn't stop Lancia to win so many times in rally.. ;0)
Truly nice and entertaining clip. Knew most of it anyway, but still epic to watch and good to know the background. Have b2 r5 coupe, c3 1st gen 200TQ and b4 Q myself and pure joy to drive, especially purebreed older models. Though now with lots of snow only b4 gets to be driven-easier and cheaper to find parts when something goes wrong. 200TQ is also up for sale locally and sadly for ridiculously cheap price.
This is an original Audi video, called "Gute Zeiten" (Good Times). It is original, down to the 'shitty music' so do not knock it, It has not been edited in later! As a document, it tells a compelling chapter in the quattro (note there is NO capital q) history. I drive a 1984 Audi 90 quattro (USA: Audi 4000 quattro) and I have owned it since 1994. I also bought this original video at the Audi dealership I was working at the time. I have a full restauration and upgrade planned for 2018, until that time I use it sparsely, parts are getting a bit difficultto source, and Audi has really dropped the ball on the parts side. Unbelievable that not all parts for this iconic cars are available, not even through Audi Tradition, the official Audi classic parts supplier in Germany.
Right guys, here’s an uodate: after saving for what seemed forever to get the funds to start the rebuild, I was all set to go in January. The car was driven to the garage to keep it road legal, but while they were working on her, I suffered a massive stroke, followed by COVID-19. I was left paralyzed on the left hand side and Corona nearly killed me. All in all, nothing has been done to her in the last six months, and as soon as I am fully mobile again, I’ll get back on track with the car. I acquired a Mercedes-Benz B250 as a daily driver, and a mint VW Golf Mk2 GTI G60 to keep me occupied while the guys will start on the quattro.
Somewhere around 1:02 they talk about, and have a montage of, the Nurburgring. I know they changed the layout of the track between now and then but, alas, I am old enough to recall the prior layout. Unless I am missing something, a goodly amount of that video is not from Nurburg at all. Specifically, they show a series of shots from a chicane where the vehicles go up on two wheels. It looks good, I'll give it that, but I am not actually sure if it's at Nurburg. It actually looks more like the first set of corners at Le Man? I could EASILY be mistaken about this so I won't swear that they're incorrect but I don't recollect anywhere on The Ring that ever looked like that. There's a similar set at Nurburg, sometime shortly after the last bridge, but that's a fairly wooded section. Meh, maybe I am missing something? Anyhow, it's still a good video and well worth the time spent. It was exciting to see the Quatro change the way races were done across multiple fields. It was a time of change and I even went and got a Quantum that was a 'synchro' from VW but borrowed heavily from Audi - including the odd 5 cyl engine.
I have to say..the rally pulled the human spirit to ranks unseen... For a moment your star powered line up is coming torwards u and in a split second they power away.. the golden age
Anyone saw the"trick"(41.24) of that button on top of the manual shifter...??..Press it,and it would clutch for the driver while he uses his left foot for braking and keep his right foot down,to keep the Turbo pressure up while shifting gears...so advanced and cleaver......!!!!!...For sure Walter "s idea for mechanics to build.!!!!!
Awesome vid! It's funny (and sad) to see in ye olde comments section idiots raggin' on the music or even mentioning Ken Block. I'm sure Block himself would tell 'em to shut it and respect an awesome tribute to one of the greatest eras of motorsports history. A lot of Millennials claim the 80's were a great time. Well, if they love the 80's they gotta love this music too 'cuz there was no escaping it!
Audi was a pioneer in the use of 4-wheel drive in competition and specifically in rallies, that's for sure. But Mr. Piech's stubbornness in competing with a car as close to street models (the Audi Quattro was conceptually a Gr. A, whatever they say) meant that the competition had more effective vehicles with mid-rear engines (that they did follow in detail the possibilities granted to them by the Gr. B regulations). The truth is that Audi, since the arrival of Peugeot and Lancia with their 4-wheel drive Gr. B, could only win the 1985 San Remo Rally, when Peugeot and Salonen were already champions that year and, on the other hand, the climb to Pikes Peak (due to a broken turbo intake flange in the engine of Vatanen's Peugeot 3 km from the finish), where Vatanen had set the best times in practice and also in the partial times in the race, in which he was winning with clarity. Even so, they were only separated by 7 seconds. The other races were won by Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 and Lancia Delta S4, which were more agile cars with a much more even weight distribution.
at the time my boss raced Audi 80 Qattro a red one which he finished the RAC rally in then he the beast a Qattro Group B its the only Qattro i,v seen in White
I love watching the video. If the damn saxophone would break the video would be much better. It kinda destroys the vid cause it covers the sounds of the screaming engine.
The much fancied quattro with it's 5 cylinders and four wheel drive was unable to conqure the safari rally in Kenya. The Opel Ascona 400 rear wheel drive rally car,no turbo and on twin carburetors wiped the floor with the quattro.Hehehehe
Audi was never applauded or honored for the amount of wins or championships won. The result as to why the Audi Quattro was so legendary was it absolute domination when it first appeared. No one had ever thought of Audi as a normal base car manufactorer to literally wipe the floor, running against purpose built rally cars like Lancia. Although the Opel Ascona 400 was the last rear-wheel drive car to win the driver's world championship. But when Audi upgraded the Quattro during 1984/1985, Opel couldn't compete with it, and was seen as obsolete.
When Audi appeared at Pikes Peak in 1985, they trambled 60 other purpose built race cars to the top and did the same in 86 and 87. Then in 1988 during the Trans Am series, they again dominated the competition on the small and more narrow tracks, but couldn't keep up on the long straights. This was all done on the frame of the else normal Audi 200 you could go down and buy at your local dealership. So it is more the "shock & awe" effect Audi was known and still praised for to this day.
VIZIN, I do agree with you on one count though, Audi did quite a lot to revolutionise rallying. The quattro more than any other rally car in history brought about unprecedented public interest in rallying which brought about the huge crowds on the stages.
L'Audi quattro est une des plus belles voitures de rallye jamais construite mais les fans d'audi son tellement insupportables qu'on a juste envie de leur rappeler les tôles que se prenaient la Quattro par la 205 T16 et la LANCIA DELTA au milieu des années 80 avant que la FIA n'abrège ses souffrance en stoppant le groupe B...
It makes no sense to me to write in any other language than English on this site. The video is in English and majority of the crowd here understands it.
Michèle Mouton is French fool! You shouldn't type on this "site" at all if you are really that ignorant and disrespectful of rally history and its fans. In fact, here is a link to a list of world championship drivers and their respective countries....notice how there is not one driver from USA and only a few from UK en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_Rally_Championship_Drivers%27_champions
Actually it makes perfect sense. What doesn't make sense is how you can claim youtube is "primarily english". The only "issues issues" here are: 1)Your ignorance of the world 2)Your ignorance in general 3)Your lack of objective fact 4)Any potential offspring you may create (or already have) Do yourself a favor and stop voicing your opinions because they make you seem like a selfish prick.
Hilarious ignorance of geography. The writers don't know where the Grand Canyon is located. They didn't bother to look up any facts about American racing series either.
Agree. I'm sure both Arizona and Colorado were surprised to discover that the Grand Canyon had suddenly moved its location hundreds of miles to the north east.
TODAYS FORMULA ONE DRIVERS ARE PUSSIES COMPARED TO THESE"WARRIORS" OF ANY"ROADS"..........F1,today has become,a SHAME of "racing",Put HAMILTON"in one of these CARS......He"ll shit,in his pants.........AND CRASH.
I am not an Audi guy, but thats an amazing piece of history right there. Well done. Well done indeed.
Thank you for posting this awesome piece of quattro history.
I used to have a yellow and white quattro as a toy car when I was a kid in the 80's.
Fascinating to see the legendary Roland Gumpert with his team, covered in dirt, changing a gearbox in rural Ivory coast.
Thank you so much for this. You have no idea how much it means to see this film again.
Awesome documentary, love the Audi Quattros, this was the golden age of rallying.
Thanks for posting this magnificent video informing everyone who want to know these legends!
The Quattro story ain't over yet! The R8 GT3 and R18 prototypes are keeping the dream going!
Sadly the R8 GT3 s are rear wheel drive.www.caranddriver.com/news/audi-r8-gt3-car-news
The new TT-RS with it's 5 cylinder and 400bhp comes pretty close; quattro and relatively small & light and all :)
The TT-RS would be the perfect carrier of the heritage if it wasn't for a transversal engine and a Haldex AWD
I know I'm late to the party, but thank you SO MUCH for posting this! :D
Audi Unfair Advantage is also a great film. It’s about Audi dominating IMSA.
That fucking choooooooooooon starting about 30 secs in is an amazing track. Than you for the vintage racing with amazing tracks
What a cool documentary... thanks for sharing.
This documentary tells the success of Audi in the 80s and 90s.

first year entering in F1 -Audi will supply engines + gearboxes and the Porsche partner-up with RedBull team.. so it will be interesting to see how good they will perform as a new entering in F1 as well..
The car I learned to drive on (a manual 88) thank you for this awesome vidjayo
Wonderful 5 cylinder music
49:42 I love the trinket of useless knowledge of pitstops, I am proud o my German heritage and having been a former Audi tech, I love it, of all the innovations Audi has achieved that is a very, very interesting, and cool piece of info, thumbs up, thank you
love this video. I've always wanted an Audi quattro. just cant find one for sale in the us that's in my price range...
You can never have to much of Michele Mouton 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👍
No mention of the Lancia victory over the Quattro in 1983 for the manufacturer title. Still love the quattro
Agree.. I was about to mentioned this when I saw your post.. Audi was a true mechanical beast, the first brand to put in rally the Quattro(AWD) system but even so it couldn't stop Lancia to win so many times in rally.. ;0)

How are things going?
It's 2018 ...how's that restoration going
UPDATE US
Right guys, here’s an uodate: after saving for what seemed forever to get the funds to start the rebuild, I was all set to go in January.

@@8C57K9 Wow, what an update! I hope you finish healing up to enjoy your car!
What's the song in the beginning? It's awesome, and I've searched for it for years and years now...
Its probably composed by the people behind this movie just for the movie
Somewhere around 1:02 they talk about, and have a montage of, the Nurburgring. I know they changed the layout of the track between now and then but, alas, I am old enough to recall the prior layout.

Awesome story, and also amazing to think you can now buy a road going Audi with 100-200 more bhp than the cars of the 90’s used in motorsport 😳
I have to say..the rally pulled the human spirit to ranks unseen... For a moment your star powered line up is coming torwards u and in a split second they power away.. the golden age
I can actually say i owned one of these vehicles 1986. Audi coupe GT ......My 1st Audi
Anyone saw the"trick"(41.24) of that button on top of the manual shifter...??..Press it,and it would clutch for the driver while he uses his left foot for braking and keep his right foot down,to keep the Turbo pressure up while shifting gears...so advanced and cleaver......!!!!!...For sure Walter "s idea for mechanics to build.!!!!!
an amazing car for sure sad that group b got banned tough
There was a planned group s
Super cool upload!
anybody know the song at 34:40?
I love Quattro
hey Søren super nice video!! elsker den he
Awesome vid! It's funny (and sad) to see in ye olde comments section idiots raggin' on the music or even mentioning Ken Block. I'm sure Block himself would tell 'em to shut it and respect an awesome tribute to one of the greatest eras of motorsports history. A lot of Millennials claim the 80's were a great time. Well, if they love the 80's they gotta love this music too 'cuz there was no escaping it!
Did I just hear that the track version Quattro with over 600hp could reach 400km/h?!!! Now that's some sick car!
Thats some sweet sedan aerodynamics
impressive video, I have #196 from 1983, yea yea, then long one, sigh
The documentary was awesome, but seriously, the grand canyon is not in Colorado!
1991 "Same procedure as last year"
-I lost it xD
about time that Audi enters the formula 1
audi - simply the best!
"Too fast to race" uses like all of this footage
At 41:47 the Grand Canyon is in ARIZONA! We call AZ the Grand Canyon state. Otherwise, enjoyed this history of Quattro.

Does anybody know the name of the song that starts at 51:20 ? Thanks!
It might be in the description, they usually have the songs copyrighted listed there by UA-cam.
If not, I would try tracking down the original DVD for the documentary.
55:39 i need that poster right now
Audi ist sehr gut Auto.
What in the fuck was with the cheetahs? lollll
Understandable. But pic montage of various people and cars, then suddenly cheetah. Just random, is all.
Обожаю Quattro
What is a name of the song at 0:12:13 please?
Flyin' High by Opus
STUCK was really for seeing the future in Motorsport....AUDI winning LE MANS over and over with TDI(diesel) engines.....!!!!

french spanish italian german and many more none of the clips is translatet to English
❤️❤️🇩🇪😈
Can't watch it, the music kills it.
Audi’s are sweet but I prefer BMWs. E30 M3 was a very dominant car back in the 80s.
You do? send me a fekking copy will yah :)
Hilarious ignorance of geography. The writers don't know where the Grand Canyon is located. They didn't bother to look up any facts about American racing series either.

the pronounciation of the narrator of foreign names is Hilarious.The way he speaks german and french names makes him look realy ridicilous.
I suppose French and German narrators would pronounce English names perfectly of course?!
no, it seems a lot of nationalltys seem to have problems with their pronounciation of other languages.
lol, ein audi werbefilm
lancia beat the quattro with the 037 rwd ;)
Horrid backround music
