The original Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2 was introduced at the end of 1985 as a development of the Sport Quattro S1 and featured an inline 5-cylinder engine that displaced 2,110cc and generated an officially quoted power output figure of 473bhp. The turbocharger utilised a recirculating air system allowing the engine to resume full power immediately after the resumption of full throttle, reducing turbo lag considerably. In addition to the improved power output, an aggressive aerodynamic kit was added that featured very distinctive wings and spoilers at the front and rear and the car’s weight was reduced to 1,090kg.

The Evo 2 made its debut at the 1985 Rally Argentina, with Stig Blomqvist driving and the car enjoyed much success on the rally circuit, with Walter Röhrl, Christian Geistdörfer and later Michéle Mouton. The S1 E2 would become the final Group B car produced by Audi, with the works team withdrawing from the Championship following the 1986 rally in Portugal.

In the world of rallying, those years represent the golden era. Group B took the World Rally Championship and turned it on its head. In a matter of just a few short years, factory-backed cars doubled their power output and were packed full of cutting edge technology and exotic components. Many people likened them to Formula 1 cars for the gravel, and that wasn’t far from the truth. But they were too fast and ultimately too dangerous, which is why we will, unfortunately, never see anything like Group B in the WRC ever again.

However, there will always be enthusiasts who would love to own a mid-eighties Group B car but with such small numbers of competition cars built during the heyday, owning a proper Works-spec machine is a privilege that only a few can enjoy. Most surviving cars are in collectors hands and subsequently don’t come up for sale very often and when they do there’s the small matter of price, which is anything but. So what to do if you crave a slice of Group B, but can’t lay your hands on the real thing? The answer may well be here.

This is a supremely accurate recreation of the ‘Group B’ rally Audi Quattro SWB which won the 1985 Toyota Olympus Rally in the capable hands of the late Hannu Mikkola and Arne Hertz. The level of construction, quality of engineering and attention to detail bear comparison to the ‘works’ cars and very rarely does such an exacting copy of the era-defining Factory Quattro cars come to market.

The shell was constructed in exactly the same way that the original factory cars were by mating the front half of an Audi 80 bodyshell with the rear end of the road-going Quattro. After many hours of preparation, the shell was fitted with a full roll-cage by Tylah MotorSport and is a copy of the original ‘works’ cage but fabricated to modern safety standards (the cage wears ‘Matter’ decals as the Works cages were made by them). The build was overseen by the renowned historic Audi S1 pioneer Jamie, but such was the need to source authentic parts from all over the Globe,
The attention to detail in the cabin remains impressive with even all the correct cockpit VDO’s, it’s fitted with a super rare MOMO Grip wheel, period-correct Halda Trip Computer.
Original Matter sun visors.

The emphasis on historical accuracy is everywhere and you could imagine that the late Mr Mikkola could jump in and find every button and switch without even looking. Naturally, and presented in its plain white 1985 Olympus Rally livery, is so much more subtle than the rather garish HB-liveried cars

This remarkable motor car can be viewed (subject to negotiation) to any potential buyers in a professional motorsport environment. It’s supplied with some boxes of spares.
When finished can be used for non-FIA sanctioned events such as the Lombard, Mintex, and various rally festivals/hill climbs in the UK & Europe,
Historic Rally Festival Hoznayo, a spectacular event on closed roads around Northern Spain.
Short of owning an original ‘Works’ eighties Quattro SWB, this is without doubt the closest to the original at possibly 25% of the cost.

Truly an elegant Group B S1 and ready to be cherished for many years.
