ONLY ONE NAME

"LANCIA DELTA S4"

[teutonicpenguin]

Brave woman... ah man... with the camera. Jesus christ I wouldn't run out there like that. Death wish much?

[stanta08]

this car sounds like war



[serpentchimera]

I love the sound as well, but especially the effect how the car like leans backwards when accelerating and then "nods" when gear is changed or the driver brakes. That looks remarkably spectacular on gravel.

[1qdis]

ez a brutál nem a csajom hangja az ágyba. Best of AUDI SPORT QUATTRO

[ArtyTheGreat]

AUDI - vorsprung durch technik. AMEN!

[frenchguy09]

That turbo sounds just great.

[deere38]

I used to love watching these cars , the sound was superb , they reckon they could hit 200 mph on a straight and you had to fight it , no time to blink , I've had cosworths but I would love to annoy the neighbours with this beauty , cheers

[stubag69]

1:56 UNDDDDEEEEEEERRRRSSSTTTTEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEERRRRRRR

[MrNickS2]

@stubag69 LOL typically Audi:-)

[randombloke10]

all i can say to bmw's ///M Power is Quattro baby

[domwragg]

but it aint a cossie now is it????????? its good, dont get me wrong but the cosworth won more shit than any other cars 40+ times in a row champion and still unbeaten!!!!!!!!!!! long live the RS

[TheDieselhead1]

@domwragg

You fucking joking right, an Audi S1 would piss on a Cosworth, there would be no contest.

[darksideguy]

Love the sound of a turbo 5 cylinder.

[4B5PR1T20R]

One of the best cars ever built.

[subby41]

Now thats how you drive an s1.....superb :)))

[audilips]

best sound ever

[Geerbox1]

AUDI POWER!!!

[TwinTurboSystem]

OMG What A Machine i just LOVE S1!!!

[suzuki400boi]

The motor in this isn't a group grup B spec motor. To be honest you wouldn't be able to get your hands on one. This it is still the 2.2t none the less. The rally spec motors were de-stroked to 2.1l meet the rally regulations

[darkrsq]

Well, you're not quite right.. Exactly this car is number 13 of the remaning 19 Audi S1 group B cars, and the engine is the originally group B spec engine it was fitted with, when it left the factory in 1986.. Here seen at one of the many Trackday in Norway...

[AyonRaven]

@suzuki400boi i know this is old, but you're an idiot, your comment implies that every S1 had its drivetrain removed and replaced with something else. knowing specs and stats doesn't mean you have the basics of knowledge, commonsense. win.

[NudIaug]

Hail the mighty S1! Hail the king! 0-100 in 2.4s nough said

[rafablattner]

this S1 and the Porsche 935 turbo are the most extreme cars ever in my opinion

[mildredmw]

What a sound that is. Wish it was still the 80's to hear that coming through the forests again

[marc18b]

Who's the crank that sed it's ugly it's beautifull so is the noise imagin tht Ina welsh forest flat out at night

[marc18b]

Itsa 2.1 5cylinder 20v turbo just short of 550 bhp

[454sskilla]

does anyone know wat type of engine those have

[03mar333]

ugly my ass.its a beast

[oldboi1]

theyre good the old skool rallys cars but damm thats ugly wot wher they thinkin

[Kurzb3]

yeah on your knees the Godfather of cars is here

[QFizzV8Fizz]

@Kurzb3

Not the Godfather of cars, the Father of Motorsports is here :)

[DaDe92WoRkInPrOgReSs]

gas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MistaMorris]

Possibly one of the greatest cars to be made

[OPELARA]

i want to see co driver face

[croskart]

OMG and the driver is realy good to!!!

[crazylegscain]

Kneel down to the King.

[yellowbird479]

Legend will be never die...Amazing rallycar...Amazing Period...Amazing driver and Amazing to think about the extinction of the Group B !!!

[boddy360]

anyone want to buy the number plate s1 rkl

could also mean s1r kl

[joshbrailsford]

A new VW and Audi showroom opened today just down the road from my house and they have as Quattro S1 in there. I looks amazing!! I think im gonna go down n take sum pics if theyll let me.

[oetlul6666]

ja lekker belangrijk xp

[Jaakkoseta]

Suicide candidate on 3:10.

[Manuelprodigy]

this car is terrible,just listen to the roar!awesome

[exrun]

this is amazing, but try to IMAGIN GROUP B today... 1500 cv 700kg?

[neamcuru]

that's car!! Audi,,Lord ofthe Rings,,

[Mknives]

love to know who was driving that day. Not many can drive that beast so could it be walter?

[Elvisoffroad]

No it is not Walter. This in norway and his name is Leif nilsen.

[n1cxxx]

I want more video's of this beast(i love the sound soooooo much)

[jorrie2]

Haha wij kijken steeds dezelfde filmpjes :P

[n1cxxx]

Idd lol

[nd59cp]

oh my god - i love that s1 sound

[gonedu71]

GRANDIOSE MAGISTRAL SUPERBE

[Sequitur2002]

Nice drivin', Tex. Love the tire chirping.

[brandnamesocks]

FYI:

The chirping is the anti lag system on the turbo, you'll notice it going off between shifts and keeping that turbo spooled!

[MysteryZero88]

no..thats the wastegate.

[shockey0710]

its compressor surge..

[skogpekka]

Ah haha hahaha haa, compressor surge?! Man, you're from the states or something? -proper cars are fitted with turbos, mate ;)

-And yes, that is a wastegate. Done deal. EOD :)

[GTiDog]

Yo...Know it all...It's not wastegate chatter although that's what it's commonly known as. It's called compressor stall. In simple terms, it's the pressurised air in the turbo battering back against the compressor (or turbo) blades. I know...I'm a motorsport engineer...look up 'RC Developments' on the internet.

[ytubenewbie]

As a motorsport engineer you should know that surging compressor would not last even one stage. This has been discussed in this very thread some posts ago, and even ex audi employee verified it is dump valve operating. It's not wastegate because S1 ain't have one. And of course it is not als.

[ytubenewbie]

doh... of course it does have wastegate. It doesn't have blow off thought. Should not type to fast...

[trickybloke]

bit anal saddo

[trickybloke]

fantastic machine

[xworksmotorsport]

thank you for posting this,

fantastic clip of an awe inspiring

car been driven properly.

[mitjmannen]

This is in Norway right? how much for a ride with this dreamcar?

[carfan1982]

Yes it is inn norway. i belive it is a guy named Leif Nilsen who is driving=) he drives the TAXI cars on Gatebil inn Norway.. check out Gatebil here on YouTube:) Awsome cars and drivers..

[jozafax]

An extreeeemely ugly mofo; but it shure does perform...

[csebalyn]

why care about beauty when all you need is performance ? :)

[78boyparis]

Hi tomikman,

Did you shot this video?

If yes, can you tell me when and where?

thank you

i'm in love with this car, and i wanna buy one

[andyman8662]

hope you have a nice size wallet

[mugenman6]

the turbo lag is like a big mallet, being smashed on your forehead @4300rpm...

[kressboss]

NICE AUDI, HUFF RAID !!!!!!

[jonnyloppy]

awesome !!! nuff said

[IBNZ]

it's not a car, it's a capsule for travelling into hyperspace. Love it to death!

[verticalvince]

the nuts!!!!!!!!

[Zubatec]

Omfg. Great video :-)

[K27grpb]

I believe "northernmonkeee" to be correct, it is pressurized air hitting the impeller-I don't think the cars were built with BOV's or re-circulation valves. With not much of an airbox on the S1 you could really hear the pressure backing up. If I understand correctly current WRC cars may have the same rule or set-up but smaller turbos and more complicated air boxes. Does anyone know for sure. See "Audi Quattro S1" posted by "yneris" for about 8" of this great sounding engine.

[gtiturbo22]

yea true about the gasses hitting the turbine wheels, but i think its when the throttle is lifted and wastgate closes, so the exhaust gas has to go through turbo and not the wastegate hitting the blades making the stall noise

[K27grpb]

That sounds feasible, I've heard that too,it is the air escaping back through the turbo. I was lucky enough to have a ride in an A2 with a full airbox and the sound was more chattery or fluttery and quite quiet, like some of the short Q's without the wings, the "S1 evo 1" I think. I do believe it to be a closed system though. Anybody know for sure?

[DocDarley]

The cars where fitted with recirculating bypass valves, the "twittering sound" is the noise made by the air pushing past the spring loaded rubber face of the valve.

[K27grpb]

Are u sure? Can you explain in more detail? I have a Forge 007 re-circ valve(15-23psi spring) and it squeaks/chirps when the throttle is closed under boost. Is this the same?

[DocDarley]

Yes, the valve used contained a diaphragm rather than a piston, when the throttle is closed the diaphragm is pushed off it's seat by the pressure difference. The twittering is the result of bounce caused by the springyness of the charge air. On production vehicles this was noted as a customer complaint in the service technical handbook as strange owl noises and several modifications where released to eliminate the "problem" i.e. rubber boost pipes in lieu of metal. (ex Audi reporting technician)

[K27grpb]

Thanks. Is that the same as the oem valve on my urS4? It use to flutter very quietly, barely audible. Where does the air escape from/to, the connection points? Sorry to belabor this but you are the only one that seems to know for sure about the S1. they didn't all make this noise.

[DocDarley]

From memory; the valve connected between the intercooler input pipe and the metal pipe to the compressor inlet. The valve on your s4 will be of the same design but measures have been taken to eliminate the noise (not everybody is a petrol head!) I myself like to hear things working.

[K27grpb]

The valve sits on branch lines from the MAF to compressor inlet and the comp. outlet to IC. I love this sound, but realize it may not always be the best on a street driven car. I would be keen to try this older type of valve as I can always switch back. Will it work and do you remember the type and/or part number? The car is about to get a larger turbo, exhaust man., intercooler and exhaust. It already has a ported head & MTM stage II ecu.

[DocDarley]

I don't remember the part number but I doubt it would sound the same as the whole induction system is designed to be quiet. Maybe a re-plumb with steel pipes and modified air box would give you the sound. Also don't forget that modern turbos have much less inertia.

[K27grpb]

I have just conversed with someone else who has a Lehmann built 10v and they have also indicated that ironically all that noise comes from the lack of a valve ie:compressed air hitting the turbine when the throttle is closed, it has nowhere to go unlike a re-circ or bov where some energy is released and or re-used. Are you 100% on this?

[DocDarley]

I installed a factory valve on my own 10 valve (long gone now) purely to aid throttle-down and part throttle power modulation behavior, not acceleration issues. The noise appeared after fittment.

[K27grpb]

Check out "1985 1000 Lakes Rally Finland-Audi Quattro S1 Only" and "Audi Quattro S1" drifting in snow. Both have great sound, the video in the snow is about 8" minutes of sound. "IMSA GTO sound" is another great one if you get a chance. I am in the midst of upgrading, I will try closing the system and see how it sounds.

[K27grpb]

Hey Doc, long time no hear. I owe you a so sorry dance, I think you were exactly right. I have done a lot of work, K27 turbo, big fmic, RS2 injectors, em, maf and ecu and no sound. I just recently put an open filter on it and switched back to the Bosch diaphram valve & there it was. Not as chirpy but very fluttery.  Drop me a line.

[stuyb2]

dont u just love the 1980s

[gtiturbo22]

i beleive the sound is wastegate chatter, its obviously an external wastegate, and when the wastegate opens its breaking a vacuum or sumthin like that, but im pretty sure it has nothing to do with the dv

[ytubenewbie]

but then why the sound correlates with driver closing throttle (eg 00:35-00:50)?

[northernmonkeee]

The sound is pressurised air forcing back against the turbine blades creating a stall sound. Its nothing to do with a wastegate, however the S1 20vT engine ran dual external wastegates.

Very cool car, and shame they aren't seen more often at events.

[bigbluebutton]

one of the most awesome cars ever made.....right along with the renault r5 turbo2....delta.....ford cosworth....

[paulquattrorunner]

Shame about the ban i think the last of the S1's had the Lancia S4 and the Pug T16's beat, Audi were on the way back to winning form, it lead the T16 by over 6 minutes in 1985 Sanremo. GREAT SOUND I WANT ONE

[Rosemeyer78]

Monstrously, magnificent and powerful car with the better sound of the world!

...also the driver kick ass!

5 cylinder Rulez! Sieg einer Idee!

[D1Nick]

off course it is an blow off valve, audi never had a compressor...

[urastos]

best sounding car in the world!

[paulquattrorunner]

There has never been before, nor will there ever be a car like this again, Does anyone have a spare one i can have, man i want one.

[7r0j4n]

The sound is compressor studder, not a blow off valve.

[ballajazzhus]

NOT, you obviously never heard too many group B cars or turbo engines have you? That is the blow off valve, and it`s just like any other Audi S1. Take a trip to a few " A day at the strip" and you`ll soon find out :)

[D1Nick]

@ ballajazzhus, I mean Turbocmpressors not Kompressor like from Mercedes, you stupid. Do you think i am stupid

[ShootingSam]

Stupid man...

Audi didn't make compressors they made turbo's

It was the first turbo driven rallycar

[ytubenewbie]

I doubt its shuddering if that's what you mean. Turbo would not last a single stage if shuddering. Also its not bov. S1 uses air metering to settle the fueling. So there's no place for bov there. I am pretty sure it's the dump valve recirculating air. Normally you wouldn't here it. But once you go up to, or even above 2 bars of boots then that's exactly the sound I would expect.

[diesellover]

5 cylinder motore, mit turbo.. its the whistle of the blowoff valve..

[sitapea1980]

I have noticed that all Quattro S1 have this sound. I guess when you are racing the boost pressure is up most of time and the air rushing back to compressor blades won't damage the turbo too much (if at all).

[triks71]

sweet vid!! great car an still has up evo8 an scoobies, skyliners unsure?

[sitapea1980]

is that a wastegate that makes this sound? or blow-off/by-pass?

[GottaBeAbstract]

The wastegate noise you cannot hear but usually on highly modified, dard tune cars it will be like this high pitched electronic noise. The noise winds up as the turbo is spooling. In this video it's either the BOV or the intercooler.

[MillMouse]

That'll either be a dump valve or the sound of compressed air being forced back through the compressor housing of the turbo when the throttle closes aka compressor surge. The fact that it sounds 'chirrupy' makes me think it's the latter.

[nellyscossy]

love it...man after my own heart

[maxvic]

Quelle sonoritée ce 5 cylindres !! on s'en lasse pas !

[geforce5700fx]

non toujours pas !

[Tutti1983]

i love this car! the best car of the world nice viedeo

[AsrielPS]

the sound of the turbo is just amazing...

i want a monster like this 1 :P

[incargeek]

...but if that hippy in the black hadn't have thought he was rock hard getting in there to take a "snap" the donuts might have continued....what a c*nt :-)

[SSR2k6]

what a sound! 5.0 cylinder audi engine RULES!

[V6E]

its a 5 cylinder 2.1 turbo

[fuckislamandkillthem]

My ANUS quivered when I watched this.

[buggable]

Who's the driver. Hans Dahlback? Very nice video! Bad assed!
