Walter Rohrl 1987 Pikes Peak with Audi S1

[TheCheesyProductions]

damn, those downshifts are perfect

[ghosthunter2006]

walter rohl is so badass that he drives a manual like an automatic.

[jonkilc200jk]

The bad ass yanks asked Walter Rohrl "why you coming over here with your little puddle jumper" when we will whip your ass with our v8's...... ROTL... like yeah, those indie ovals and nascar show skill ;-) .... European metal is king, always was, always will be. The S1 is awesome, nothing comes close, a real privilege to see it race on tarmac roads in Ireland, the UK and Europe... RIP Gp B, gone but not forgotten.

AUDI, LEGENDARY.

[rockinLive]

@jookiyaya They fitted a hydraulic clutch onto the gear lever, so they could have kept both feet on the break and acc pedals

[ArthrusGigawitAnteon]

@rockinLive Old school racing tech right there

[lolzoretwo]

[HenriquesRusso]

i miss you !!! vatanen !!!!!!!

[lemonzawodowiec]

Ascona 400 is a badass car, fag.

[RandytheAstonishing]

God damn youtube, quit fucking up my posts.

awesome driver

[workshop77777]

I seen this car last July, very nice machine :)

[whiterottenrabbit]

FUCKED UP ASPECT RATIO! Does nobody care about it?

[RandytheAstonishing]

@whiterottenrabbit

Nobody but you, jackass. Feel free to not watch it until a good enough version is uploaded for your viewing pleasure.

[whiterottenrabbit]

@RandytheAstonishing

Take a chill pill, sweetheart! Three questions:

1) You must think, that I myself gave me three thumbs up, right?

2) Do you even know, what aspect ratio is?

3) How badly stretched must a picture be so that it starts to annoy you?

Don't bother answering, just google for "Are Some People Just Visually Dull?" instead.

[RandytheAstonishing]

@whiterottenrabbit

Idiot...feel free to not watch it and wait on the perfect version of it. Bitching accomplishes...what exactly?

No, I have no idea what an aspect ratio is. Did you invent it?

If the choice is not watching a video, or watching it with a fucked up asspect radio (remember, I don't know what one is), I choose to watch it.

You're like a welfare nigger bitching about his government cheese not being real cheese. So buy your own cheese, nigger.

[whiterottenrabbit]

@RandytheAstonishing

Instead of acting like a buttfucked pigdog, you really should google for "Are Some People Just Visually Dull?" and take 5 minutes to read.

[Z3ROGI2AV1TY]

AUDI V5 & W. Röhrl

Just MASSIVE !!!

[MrLowAltitude]

Uhm... It's a turbocharged inline 5 cylinder 20 Valve engine, not a V5.

[eddycerb]

Jesus! just listen to that sound frightning

[S1nkr3]

I'm sure this Audi would beat all the rally cars that is driving now.

[poop4256]

those 800 hp fiestas are fast though

[adminOFadministrator]

He said: "With 220 km/h a gravel road up..."

Das ist Walter Röhrl! :)

[tommy9927]

He said 220kph

And I absolutely believe this figure. AWD with 550bhp, Walters left foot braking to keep turbo pressure up etc.

Isn't quite a straight run down at the start?

There is no reason to question quotes by Walter Röhrl

220kph/136mph

[15507VW]

220km/h up a hill in the sand...must be a fucking great feeling... *_*

[aruprc]

One of the most tenacious drivers out there, probably the best ever in rally scene.

[Schnitzelwario]

Walter röhrl is a living legend :D

One of the best driver's on this planet!

[Kawa12er]

wlater röhrl is a legend and for me the best rallye driver ever and the quattro is a monster :)

[ClassicDragRace]

Audi rulez  (_o_) =0000=(_0_)

[oKathriine]

1:26 OMG nice sound from the motor

[FANFANI100]

he says that the 2nd gear starts at 150 mph GROUP B RULES!!!!!!

[serialced]

no he doesnt

[havok917]

actually i think he meant 150 KM which is about 93 mph. that would sound a bit closer to reallity.

[rafa281]

are you sure he didn't say 150Km/h? even that would be absurd even for a group B..

[MrLowAltitude]

He clearly said 220kph!

Think about it. The car had up to 600hp and a weight of only around 1 ton. That's more power per weight than a Bugatti Veyron has!

The race distance is 20km, the S1 made it in 10m and 47,85secs so it had an AVERAGE speed of 111kph! With such a monster of a car I think 220kph on the straights is realistic...

[bonzoAU]

Climb dance is far better

[actiomania]

my dad has a real audi quattro,not the rally one but the quattro 4x4 and it got 560hp(we ve been tuning it for 22 years,it spent most of its life in garages)

[ZeekyBoogyDoog]

o_o do you videos or pics of it? Quattros are fucking epic.

[jfo420]

do you have videos of this car, id be really intrested in seeing it

[RSNSkillplayer]

Jammy git! I have recently purchased a Ford Escort MKII RS1800, minter

[Donnerfink]

@actiomania your comment is a bit older, but man... you and your dad really ruined a classic car? you ever checked prices for an "original" Quattro? what a waste...sorry...

or did you try to build a replica of the S1/E2? would be pretty cool then...if not, it's truly a waste...

[GeneralHoohah]

@Donnerfink How is tuning a car with skill, and not frying it, ruining a classic? I bet that thing is insane to drive. Cars are, especially the great ones, are not meant to be put in show rooms and looked at. You either drive it and enjoy the sound and the experience of the machine, or get the fuck out. It would be a total shame for a car like that to remain stock and undriven, sitting in a room... still for the rest of its life. What's the matter with you? That's just depressing.

[Sebb81]

He also was at the Donauring with the Pikes Peak S1.

[popdog200]

Walter will be driving the S1 at Goodwood this year (July)! Legend!

[commodore64738]

Europe rules once again, where are those retarded 'big blocks' ?

[enteng2366]

yeah..those big blocks are just plain stupid inventions

[commodore64738]

word

[OPELARA]

audi body was made from metal and no from fyber glass and tube chasis also walter drive a car to heavy audi was 1100 kilos and the pug just 900 maximoum make the division with power and find who drive beter also audi was teacher of 4WD for road.

[St3ff3nMX]

awesome

[freedomsoldier187]

all my added links are bloked, simply because the author does not want any link added to disregard "rohl's non achievements" just you tube Ari Vatanen you will see Rohl's self confession that Ari if faster, simple as that

[freedomsoldier187]

my comments have been blocked

[hitm4n1985]

this gets the goosebumps goin, AUDI S1 FTW!!!!

[rallyramone]

For those who argue whos better rohl or vatanen: monte carlo rally 85 vatanen overtaked rohl on stage and went to win rally by 5mins + 8min timepenalty over 13minutes faster than rohl in rally where normally seconds count on top...

[skjslkj]

Hey, Man I appreciate your commitment but who cares Vatanen here? And what if Vatanen beated Röhrl one or two times? Both were great talent and did their best all the time, just enjoy the video...

[10501090]

@rallyramone maybe in case of car problems.... it is good sometimes to use a brain =) both drivers are fantastic but with 100% efficient car rohl wouldn't have such a big waste ...

[rallyramone]

@10501090 I agree that both are great drivers, but rohrl never came to our rally, Gran Prix of rallying (1000 lakes rally)... Ari won it with rwd escort agains awd audis.. Only fastest can win in finland, or even stay in top 10...

[mickymuchacho]

walter you living legend!!!!

[porthpatho78]

I like the early DSG they have on it.

[Cozyrow]

yeah :)

[donhasten]

Best rally driver of all times.....

[AlrightYessir]

Yanks got there asses kicked with there single seater V8's. Walter Rohrl is a hero!

[DrunkenMcWasted]

Yeah, like Americans are the only others to race here? That's why it's called an INTERNATIONAL hill climb. I'm sure you have a deep hate for the U.S., but I think the best way to put that is EVERYONE got their asses kicked.

[Frittrich]

walter röhrl = god!

[nod04]

Ja! Legendär!

[Cozyrow]

no i think ari vatanen is

[Frittrich]

they both are!

[Cozyrow]

yes röhl was damm good too

[polio4]

the actualy DSG tecnology is viewed in this 1987 video is amazing

[19SAS]

freedomsoldier187.

pls come back and tell me im wrong........ silly boy. pls tell me that walter was driving a 4wd car in 1981... hahahahaha I THINK NOT

[Litejk]

He still got the record.... Epic driver

[freedomsoldier187]

no he lost it the year later to the epic Ari Vatanen

[19SAS]

u are missing the point, the fastest time up the mountain pre Electronics is the S1 Quattro a car thats nose heavy and at a disavantage to ALL mid engined cars, thats a fact u cannot argue.

[freedomsoldier187]

no sorry I'm not the Peugeot was designed using computers, but it was straight up mechanical power oh and 50hp less then the S1, pwnt ?

[19SAS]

sorry mate the last 205 pug that went up the hill was FULL of electronics, its a car of a different generation, also most of the electroncis used on that car was then used (pus many more) on the 406 Ari drove, sorry to burst your bubble, mechanical grip finished the last year Rorhl entered

[freedomsoldier187]

FULL of electronics, wtf do u know about

the pug man, suspension, chassis, engine

was all mechanically setup. Designed using electronics with an ECU. It was just lighter

and mid engined, but he also had less hp then

the S1 whine all you want hold onto whatever argument u think makes u happier, Ari won it.

Even in 87 in the 205 if you watch any Doco

about that event, Ari had mechanical issues.

pwnt !

[19SAS]

Listen my friend ur love 4 all things French & ur crush on Ari has clouded ur view, its plain 2 see u no very little bout Group B rally sport, Ari never had mechanical issues he lost an Jubilie Clip... also Walter made many mistakes, but hey wots the point with debating with someone who no's nothing.. dream on fella, come back when u fully understand cause u REALLY DONT "Fact" fastest "Group B" car was the S1, and its not cause i love walter... 1 last thing power outputs were not disclosed fella

[19SAS]

Wots the point debating with a little boy who wants 2 talk bout sucking dicks, i admire Walter,Ari,Hannu,Stig,Juha,& all group b drivers,but u r an idiot the 88 pug was not group b (which part of that do u not understand)go back to ur playstaion cause u have NO understanding of group b, Ari was a great driver but walter was a clever driver & could make the S1 go quick just like Toivonen could make the s4 go quick, pls stop reading books & yes y dont u study the full 1986 Pikes Peak, pls grow up

[19SAS]

as a matter of fact silly boy, Walter was NOT driving an awd car in 1981, the first awd car he drove was in 1983, u are very misguided

[freedomsoldier187]

not according to the uk sports records website

1980 was his first year in an audi, Ari was

better nuff said, I've shot down all your aguments u fail

[19SAS]

U are truly a fool Audi introduced the Group 4quattro in 1981, Walter was signed in to do the 1983 championship in the quattro after beating Michelle Mouton in an Opel Ascona/Manta beating a 4wd drive with his 2wd

Opel. So if audi had the only 4wd car at the time, how did walter drive a 4wd car in 1981. u have shot yourself in the foot cause u know nothing

[19SAS]

listen silly boy, im not saying that Ari could not have beaten Walter had they both come back in 1988, but we have to stick to facts, the lancia S4 was possibly a quicker car than the pug 205, but records will show that they did not win a drivers championship with it, so wot are you trying to prove.

[19SAS]

have u lost your voice mr know-all

[19SAS]

hello silly boy, bring back your vast knowledge to this debate!!!!!!, please tell me im wrong

[abec666]

Walter+Quatro at 81..Hmm do your homework.

[19SAS]

Let me tell you something you do not understand ,mister, the 1987 S1 arrived on the mountain in Group B hillclimb trim, The banning of group b in 1986 allowed the Pug to arrive with a different set up, pls dont argue cause u really dont know wot u are saying

[rnoux]

he dances with his feet while driving!!

[surfnation]

greatest car ever

[ayanamireiii]

Amen

[Dogman36]

LOL deutch

[carlcallycharly]

yeah and changing gear properly with lever and clutch not some paddle on the wheel , proper drivers these

[battack69]

that guys knows how to drive a car!

[Koches007]

best rally driver ever

[wallyllaw]

more like "best german rally driver ever"

[Mummins]

He is the best driver ever. He won the championship in a shit buicket Ascona 400 with rear wheel drive against 4 wheel drive cars with more horsepower.

Sometimes he won by minutes in a single stage.

[wallyllaw]

It's always very hard to say if someone is best driver ever. Juha Kankkunen, Tommi Mäkinen and Sebastian Loeb have all four rally championships. Also Marcus Grönholm and Ari Vatanen are good choices for title of "the best rally driver ever". 1988 Vatanen set new record for the Pikes Peak (search youtube "ari vatanen pikes peak"). All these have been unbeatable in their prime time.

That said, Walter Röhl is a great driver and greatest german rally driver ever, without a doubt.

[Mummins]

You should have a look at the championships. Röhrl allways had bad luck, the cars broke or other problems. When the cars were reliable he was nearly unbeatable. If he hadn't done only 6 rallys in 83 he would have 3 championships, but he didn't want at that time.

When Röhrl was active, rallys were real rallys, not that crap nowadays, only in the daylight and maximum length of 20 minutes or so.

Röhrl was elected Rally Driver of the Millenium by a jury of Experts.

[blingblingchecka]

fuck you...walter röhl is the best driver ever

[ViolentVendetta]

... show me only one driver who is better

[mulletor5000]

can't sorry :P

[fonaktamas]

I agree, it's too short! want more! me too.

[AtOneWithNothing7]

Me too!!!

[rushdeluxe86]

jaja da walter röhrl und sein schatz der S1.ein echtes dreamteam ;)

[kadeath16v]

der 2. WM-Titel war nicht auf audi quattro sondern auf Opel ascona 400, auf audi holte er nie einen Wm-titel

[mmmmarius84]

röhrl hat 2 wm titel und ist danach nur noch zum spaß gefahren bzw. nur noch seine lieblingsralleys...

[panzermatt]

rohrl is a god a legend and best of all a german.

[golfvr6charged]

Walter rohl is a god

[DaMaxl1]

der definitiv beste fahrer aller zeiten!!!

[jackthecracker44]

einfach nur 1 mögliche antwort: KORREKT!

[ParaBot]

...man muss verueckt sein um sowas tun zu koennen! ;)

Wahnsinn, ich haette die Hosen voll gehabt als Beifahrer!

[Troy21071989]

Wow. Over 600 HP. The S1 is one of the best Rallye-cars of the world.

@SgtH3nry3... 1200 HP on loose ground, that CANNOT been driven. The Engine of the S1 was Worthless junk after the Race... imagine that 600 HP are trapped in a 2.1 liter engine

[nolanbowling]

Anything can be driven, its all in the manor in which it is controled.

[Hugo206xs]

vaya manera de ir de lao

[penalozaur]

The inline 5 sound WONDERFUL.

[ladaladaladalada]

im a communist

[csebalyn]

sorry for consecutive posting, there was an error with my connection :( my fault...

[ARIELHT500]

walter is the master

[Thevwmethod]

the audi was a 2133cc 5 piston engine and 760hp in race trim and considerably more in qualifying spec...if that was fast then i would love to see a group B lancia s4 or a all out rs200 go up...

[SgtH3nry3]

I believe I read somewhere that the 5-in-line Audi Sport quattro S1 could do 1200 hp in qualifying spec.

Doesn't sound impossible if you ask me.

[csebalyn]

i also read it, but after checking various sources, i think they're only roumors...i know audi tried a 1000hp car for the '87 season, but the drivers said it was undrivable, so they gave up. anyway, in '87 fia banned group B and the quattro engine ended being used in the usa racing series and won the championship in the 1st year. it had 800hp

[SgtH3nry3]

I can imagine that, even the more experienced dragracers have difficulties keeping a 1500 hp Skyline in a straight-line.

[Thevwmethod]

If bmw got scrap 80k miles or over in-line 4 engine bock and mad 1.5L 1500hp engines out of them.. audi can and did get over 1200hp out of in-line 5. ford had 850hp cars and did not win grop B rally..

[ABCAutoNet]

Yes, BMW's old M10 block could deliver 1500 hp.

Porsche had an old 1500cc boxerengine (from a Bug, no kidding!) which also delivered 1500 hp.

[ohgottweristdas]

he said his car has about 600 hp

[dac111982]

seems to work just fine with the corvette. That would be 5 lemans victories in 8 years. What is hilarious is that a z06 can compete with $200k supercars from europe. Too bad that while audi spent all that money on racing, their road cars were total crap.

PS - Rohrl is an insane person.

[Thevwmethod]

...their road cars were total crap...I bet a audi gt turbo quattro road car..would beet any US factory road car of the time and still win on or off road....

[csebalyn]

"Rohrl is a insane person"....think again. 2 times world champion, in an era withou electronics, won and set the record at pikes peak at his only race there...i think people should bow in front of Roehrl, Blomqvist, Mikkola, Biasion, Kankunen, Allen(sorry for Toivonen and a lot of other great names that i didn't mentioned). these guy is a living monument, a god of rally drivers. people who know, cry a tear only when they here those names...

[csebalyn]

"rohrl is an insane person"...think again. think at the times he raced and the results...this guy is a living monument, a god of rallying. drivers should bow in front of walter, stig, markku, etc. people who know drop a tear when they hear those names...

[Tobias83ausmdorf]

Enjoy your AIDS!

[ladaladaladalada]

trabant vs vw bug on pikes peak

[olivermilev]

walter ti si kraj!!!

[erolorhun]

The requirements on the coolingsystems must`ve been enormous. Flat-out up that hill, amazing.

[bwbethel]

Ich glaub' dass die beiden Goethe und Schiller,. . . mit Walter fahren wuerden - ohne Angst!! Ich nicht.

[Schwantz34]

Purer Sex!

[911GT3PWR]

It would suck to be driving behind him with all that dust and smoke...

[antiLeixo]

00m:50s - OMFG !!!

[rbugar]

Ich habe das damals als kleiner Junge im TV gesehen und werde es wohl nie vergessen. Unglaublich wie der Kerl fahren kann. Meinen aufrichtigsten Respekt!

[fringiz]

walter wir lieben dich!!!

[riberware]

I like those retro ADIDAS shoes

[jkand]

yes racing shoes. I hope you didn`t mean normal running shoes?

[whooaaaa]

Der Typ hat Eier !!!!

Respekt an Walter Röhrl
