Audi Quattro Sport S1

[sportracer02]

Hi,

this is another model of my Collection.

It´s a Audi S1 in 1:24 from Rallye Classics. I opened the hood and put in a scratchbuilt engine. You see some pics of the building period and the finished model.

Enjoy !!

wow, that is nice!

Awesome work, this car defines the whole Group B era in terms of style and performance, a shame it never got to show its full potential.

Agreed, awesome work. I remember an interview with Walter Roehrl and basically he was xplaining that these cars were so fast that by the time you realised you were losing traction it was essentially too late to react to it.

So beautiful to see for an Audi enthusiast !
Not many Audi-kits around unfortunatley.
I have this in progress (not motorsport):

Any idea if this car is available in 1:24?

[ToxicWaltz]

unfortunately is discontinued. modelers did this wonderful car, i guess in resin, you can see it here http://homepage2.nifty.com/KEN-RALLY/86tdcS4-1.htm

i think someone still produce it in 1/43, maybe provence moulage?
your s1 is great too however

Delta's rule! There's a Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione for sale at a garage near my house.
You should make a delta to acompany your Audi

Hi ToxicWaltz,

the model on your above mentioned webside is in my opinion mostly scratchbuilt.

Provence Moulage is said to stopped production.

Haha, can't fault you there. The S4 had some great results but the Sport Quattro E2 really grabbed the attention with the huge mods. Apparently, Audi had begun testing an engine with 1000hp for a Group B car, but stopped when it was banned in '87.

i don't know about it, however lancia too was planning something about the group successive to the B (can't find infos anymore...). audi quattro was a beast too, very screaming and powerful engine but i find it terribly ugly except the A2 that ran on tour the corse '84
going a bit OT... let's return on the sportracer's S1
