Audi Sport quattro replica: +1.000 hp rally monster from LCE!

Recently updated on May 17, 2022 at 07:50 p.m

Those were the days when no sophisticated small cars like a Hyundai i20 or a VW Polo fought for the title in the rally world championship, but real cars took to the starting line, which gave fans goose bumps and for unprecedented emotions on the track and in front of the TV sets. These so-called Group B monsters caused goosebumps and spectacle at the same time, and were not only lightning fast, but unfortunately also so treacherous to drive and difficult to control that there were several fatal accidents, which caused these cars to disappear again after a few years disappeared and "civilian" cars were used again in the WRC. The fascination of rally cars has remained unbroken to this day, and many motorsport fans want such rally cars back instead of having to make do with modified small cars. But until that happens, motorsport fans from all over the world will have to make do with replicas like this one.

newly built Audi Sport quattro replica

The Tuningschmiede Lake Constance Engineeringwhich as LCE performancee is better known, produces complete replicas of the Audi Sport Quattro at the customer's request, which are based on the Audi original quattro, and are optionally available as a street or rally version, and with TÜV approval and at least 600 hp. A demonstration object can be seen in the pictures, which shows what is technically possible by carrying a 2,5-liter turbo five-cylinder under the hood, which produces a breathtaking 1081 hp and 1018 Newton meters of maximum torque. The body is almost entirely made of carbon and therefore the monster weighs only 1060 kg. This results in an insane power-to-weight ratio, which undercuts the 1kg / hp sound barrier and thus competes with supersport motorcycles and F1 racers.

In view of the fact that the original rally car only had 530 hp, this is an engine-technical masterpiece by the tuning company from Lake Constance. The maximum boost pressure is an unbelievable 3,4 bar, and the gear is shifted via a 6-speed manual transmission from the Audi RS2 operated by a CAE shifter. The theoretical top speed of this replica is an insane 330 km / h, but this car is not made for that, because the short wheelbase, the body, which is 320 mm shorter than the original quattro, is not designed to withstand speeds of more than 300 km / h. h to be stable and generate enough downforce.

Sporty interior, but not completely spartan

The interior was given two Recaro SPG full bucket seats with red Sandtler belts, and the deeply molded sports steering wheel gives the driver a view of a collection of analog and digital instruments that have been integrated into a dashboard made entirely of carbon. The door panels are also made of carbon, and the icing on the passenger side of the presentation vehicle is a signature of rally legend and Audi tamer Walter Röhrl.

Audi Sport quattro priceless in its original condition

The replicas are much more affordable than an original Audi Sport quattro, which at that time was limited to only 220 pieces and was sinfully expensive in 1984 at 195.000 marks, and is nowadays traded in its original condition at prices around 500.000 euros and more. In addition, the performance is much higher than the only 306 hp of an original Sport quattro.
