Car's Essential Driving Experience

The Audi quattro

"Rally Quattros started on a high, then lost the plot, but the road cars got
ever better right to the 1989 [sic]
finale. Even today, this ultimate 20-valver is near-untouchable on real
roads. No Audi since has
had a fraction of the personality. The wide-tracked, fat-tyred chassis is
safe, grippy and capable; crisp,
too, thanks to the Torsen differential, with iron composure over the
toughest terrain to match
bank-vault build quality. Add the warble of the 220bhp five-pot engine, and
every drive is a tarmac
stage.
