Audi ur Quattro

There are few cars from the history of rallying that are more iconic than the magnificent Audi Quattro. The sound of those turbocharged 5-cylinder beasts barking out an operatic soundtrack is probably the greatest noise ever heard in motorsport. The question is, which version of the Quattro is better, the early Group 4 car, or the later Group B monster?

Audi Quattro Group 4

Group 4 regulations for both rallying and circuit racing were replaced by the less technically restrictive Group B rules in 1982, resulting in some of the most exciting rally cars ever. This video features glorious back-to-back footage of the early Group 4 car and the later Group B S1 E2 Quattro, taken at recent classic rally events.

So which gets your vote, the restrained Group 4, or the full-fat Group B?
