INTRODUCTION
In 1983, Audi had anticipated that they would not be able to rely solely on their traction advantage and overwhelming horsepower to win rallies for much longer. In mid-1984 their predictions rang true with the arrival of the smaller, purpose-built, mid-engined, and four-wheel driven Peugeot 205 T16. The quattro in comparison was large, front heavy, and suffered from crippling understeer in most driving situations. To fix this, most of the engineers at Ingolstadt proposed that they should design and build a totally new Group B car from scratch. However, Audi’s top brass was not keen to the idea since it would have given bad press to their flagship quattro model. Hoping to save face, the car had to be improved substantially but not replaced – the answer was to be the Sport quattro.
