RE: Quattro, ur-quattro and TQC?



<snip>
I have seen many no 1s and quite a few of no 3 (I think).  No 3 looks 
 like a normal Coupe but has quattro written on the back.  Because 
 these cars don't have flared wheel arches, I always assumed that they 
 were not real Quattros (note capital Q) with 200hp engines, but just 
 Coupes with the quattro drive train and the standard 135hp engines.

EXACTLY. There were a very few Coupe' quattros built with turbo engines for racing purposes. Check out the latest VW/Audi Car magazine. The entire issue is dedicated to the ur-quattro and has a history of the racing Quattros including some Coupe' quattros and Coupe quattros with turbo engines, pics & everything. This is a MUST HAVE issue for the q phreak/collector!
