Chassis:
This is the twentieth and final Quattro Sport S1 built. It was especially prepared for the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. Among the revisions are a more aggressive body-kit and water-cooled brakes. The official horsepower figure for the car is 600 bhp but it is believed the turbocharged 'five' produced upwards of 1000 bhp. At its first outing, in 1986, Bobby Unser won the event in 11m09.22s, beating Mouton's record from the previous year by 16 seconds. Röhrl went another 22 seconds faster in the Pikes Peak special the next year. Not bad considering it was his very first outing on the daunting hill. He believed he could have gone considerably faster but it was not to be as Audi did not return in 1988.
Today the undefeated Pikes Peak Sport Quattro S1 is still owned by Audi. Celebrating the company's 100th anniversary, it is seen here at the 2009 Techno Classica and later in the year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed where it was reunited with Walter Röhrl.
