Audi group S rally car ????

[Iain Atkinson]

Seen it at Ingoldstadt in the museum, it's the only one in existence, and
yes it was driven only once by Walter Rohrl i believe, not a pretty car by
all accounts. Very interesting museum, lot's of history in there, like the
mint gold URQ for example and the unpainted A8 all aluminium,

If it's a jelly-mould shape with gloopy faired-in headlights, it's now in
Ingolstadt. Apparently, Audi's been retrieving their cars for their own
museum mobile.
There might be some pics on the site linked to from www.acgn.nl
('meetings'- 'Ingolstadt 2001').
