Tuning /2 Comments

Is an Audi rally icon with anything but a five-cylinder even legal?

It's not every day that you'll see a 1983 Audi Quattro that's for sale, but one with extensiveengine modification is far rarer. An example is currently up for auction onBring a Trailer, and it comes with a twin-turbo V6 and a clean title.

This Audi Quattro has undergone an engine modification that car aficionados will appreciate. The twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 engine is sourced from anAudi A6- professionally installed by Wolf Auto Repair in Las Vegas, Nevada. It includes RS4-specification intake plumbing, turbochargers, fuel injectors, and intercooler hoses, resulting in a substantial power boost. Custom intercoolers and engine management software have also been employed to maximize performance.

But that's not all - it's paired with a six-speed manual transaxle, a Torsen center differential, and a limited-slip rear differential. These modifications elevate the Quattro's already stellar performance capabilities.

The car's exterior boasts a Sport Quattro-style carbon-fiber hood, an extended rear wing, smoked taillight lenses, and front fog lights. While there are minor chips and scratches on the body, it does not detract from the car's capabilities.

This modified Quattro rides on 17-inch TSW wheels wrapped with 235/40 Nitto NT05 tires. The suspension has been upgraded with an adjustable coilover setup and Koni shocks. The front sway bar's aluminum subframe and polyurethane bushings provide better handling and responsiveness.

The braking system has also received significant attention, with Porsche-sourced Brembo calipers up front, Audi A8-sourced cross-drilled front rotors, slotted rear rotors, and stainless-steel braided brake hoses.

Inside the cabin, Corbeau LG1 seats offer adjustable lumbar support and are equipped with Schroth four-point harnesses for added safety. Coco mats line the front footwells. Notably, the original radio and differential lock panel have been removed, and the dashboard has been repaired to address minor cracks.

The driver's domain features a leather-wrapped Momo steering wheel, complemented by Intellitronix digital instrumentation that includes a speedometer, tachometer, and various readouts for oil pressure, temperature, voltage, and fuel level. Aftermarket gauges for air-fuel ratio and boost pressure are neatly integrated, along with a digital clock. The digital odometer shows a reading of approximately 7,000 miles, though the true mileage is unknown.

In August 2022, this particular Quattro went on for some minor maintenance work, including a battery replacement, a coolant fluid change, and gear and engine oil changes. Itsoriginal steering wheelis included in the sale.

According to its Carfax report, it has a clean history with no accidents or damage, and it has been driven in Minnesota, Nevada, and Washington.

The modified 1983 Audi Quattro is up for auction on BaT for a few more days, with the current bid at $15,000. That's a bit low compared to a previous example that wasvalued at over a million dollars, so we'll see if this catches more attention in the days to come.
