Ur-quattro in Gran Turismo 4

[ian at harlequin.hplx.net]

Though this post has no "real" Audi content, so to speak, it's still worth 
mentioning: the newly-released video game Gran Turismo 4 has the '82 Audi 
quattro available for purchase in it.  The Gran Turismo series, for the 
uninitiated, is a surprisingly high-quality driving simulator for the 
PlayStation 2; if you have one, it's worth checking this game out.

It's not driving the real thing, of course, but slinging a virtual, 
photorealistic ur-quattro around a dirt or snow track is an awful lot of 
fun anyway.  And unlike real life, you don't incur any monetary damage 
when you slide sidelong into the fence.

They even got the I5's scream right.
