About the Audi Quattro #12 M. Mouton / F. Pons Audi Sport Rally de Portugal 1981 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the #12 Audi Quattro driven by Michèle Mouton and Fabrizia Pons for Audi Sport at the 1981 Rally de Portugal, an early outing for the car that brought four-wheel drive to top-flight world rallying. Livery-accurate diecast construction suits collectors of Group B's founding season.

Mouton and Pons were part of the crew that proved four-wheel drive belonged on rally stages, not just on paper, and 1981 was where that argument started to win.

Audi Sport's Early Quattro Livery in Diecast

The original Quattro rally livery used bold Audi Sport graphics over a body that still looked closer to the road car than the widened, aero-heavy Group B machines that would follow it within a few seasons. Minichamps' diecast captures that comparatively clean shape, with the tampo-printed sponsor and number graphics sitting flush against the body rather than looking pasted on. The boxy proportions and upright greenhouse read correctly for an early-1980s Audi, and the model's ride height sits appropriately raised for gravel-stage use rather than lowered for tarmac display. Doors open on this diecast build, revealing a stripped rally cabin behind the driver-focused dashboard, a detail that separates a genuine motorsport reproduction from a road-car diecast wearing a livery decal.

A Pioneering Crew in a Pioneering Car

Michèle Mouton drove for the Audi Sport works team through the early Quattro years and became one of the most successful female drivers in world rallying history, and Fabrizia Pons called the pace notes alongside her across that period. Rally de Portugal in 1981 came during the Quattro's first full season, before the car's four-wheel-drive advantage had fully reshaped how rivals built their own machines. Displayed as part of a Group B collection, this Quattro works best positioned near its earlier, less extreme phase, a useful contrast against the widened, wing-heavy Group B cars that dominated grids by the mid-1980s.
