Sport Quattro hood price!!!

[Brady Moffatt]

A Sport Quattro is a homologation special. Audi hand-built about 200 of them
in the early 80's. They were full of composites and carbon fiber, and were
short-wheelbase UrQ's with aluminum 300hp 20valve turbo 5 cylinders. They
are now pretty much 100k$ collectibles. Some of the parts are unobtainable.
I chuckled when I saw a price quoted at all.

There's no way it's rubles. That would be approx. $250US for what's probably
a carbon fibre hood.
