Info on old school Quattro Rallye car?

[Steve Sears]

Max,
I believe that in that vintage they may have been referring to the DKW 
Junior Bimotor ice racer from Innsbruck, Austria:

The engine in the back was from a DKW F12 (the model that followed the 
Junior with a more squared roof line), and the engine (tuned to 80 hp) in 
the front was from a DKW F102 (the last DKW made....and the body for the 
first modern Audi).  The ice racer was rebodied in 1972/3 with an aluminum 
body.  The logo on the grille may have resulted in the reporting of the car 
as an Audi.
Cheers!

1962 and '64 Auto Union DKW Junior deLuxes - not ice racers.
