Okay, I give!  I can't keep this dark secret any longer!  My ignorance is exposed. I
admit it, I'm a Q under achiever!  What exactly is an Ur-Quattro (Was ist ein Ur-Q?)
I know that its an earlier model of the coupe Q, but what differentiates it from 
a plain ole '81-88 Audi Coupe GT?  I know that the first Quattros were coupes (circa
1980)  and the S1 rennwagen and the Sport Quattro were derivative of the coupe Q (or 
vice versa?).

But please define for ignoramuses like me Ur-  (other than being German for original).
