Hannu Mikkola Audi quattro Goodwood, in original works rally quattro IN-NE 3 Algarve Rallye 1980

See Hannu Mikkola being re-united with the first ever quattro rally car built by Audi Sport in 1980. Hannu first drove this car on The Algarve Rallye in Portugal, 1980. Registered IN-NE 3, this car was the very first rally car to combine 4 wheel drive and turbo charging. Can you imagine a WRC without these factors? Well, meet the ACTUAL car that revolutionised everything you see in WRC today. This is the real thing. Here is a quote from Audi press office:- Hannu Mikkola leaves the opposition dumbstruck when Audi officially launches the quattro on the Algarve Rally. Mikkola, running as a course car on the quattro's first public outing, sets a searing pace. Had times counted towards the event, the Audi would have won by over 30 minutes!
Group 4, Group B Rally
The car has been restored by and is owned by John Hanlon, UK

[TheQuattroking]

these cars are part of rallying history and while it is really good to see the likes of hannu mikkola,michelle mouton and my favourite stig blomqvist driving them again i can only hope they dont end up wrapped round a tree or such like, all credit should go to john hanlon for keeping these quattro,s alive and breathing fire as they were intended,alas i will just hav to be content with my replica ! yes john another replica !
