    Audi Avus Quattro 1991

    First introduced at the 1991 Frankfurt Show, the all-wheel-drive Audi Avus had projected performance figures that seem amazing even today. The car featured a 6 liter W-12 engine (with 3 banks of 4 cylinders) and 5 valves per cylinder. Output was 509 bhp @ 5800 rpm, and 398 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm. The body was finished in unpainted aluminum. Estimated top speed was 211 mph, with 0-60 appearing in an incredible 2.9 seconds

    For something from 1991 it still looks so fresh and wouldn't look out of place in todays supercar/hypercar world. A few quick touch-ups here and there maybe to get it up to modern Audi standards.
    And it's got S2 wheels!!

    They're called Avus wheels as in....the Audi Avus, shocking. Audi's S cars have used them for a while now, usually upgraded regularly.
    See the pic attached for the newer version of the Avus wheels.

    I actually saw this car in Munich in 91, on a display.
    Still looks as good as back then.

    I don't know, but it certainly looks better.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.
    Visca Catalunya!
