The Audi Quartz was Audi's concept car in '79 or '80 car shows from what I
have heard.  It was basically a show car that was a hint of things to come
from Audi.  I believe the show car boasted all wheel drive and a turbo motor.
Of course, it was never produced, but led to The Quattro that came out a year
or two later.
