About the Audi Quattro LWB Silver AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: This AUTOart 1:18 Audi Quattro LWB in silver reproduces the 1988 long-wheelbase road car, with opening doors and hood. It is a used model, and the box shows traces of storage. A road-going descendant of the car that changed rally engineering through permanent all-wheel drive.
The original Quattro proved that permanent all-wheel drive could work in a genuinely fast road car, and its Group B rally success through the early 1980s reshaped how competitors approached rally engineering for years afterward.
Diecast Detail on This Quattro LWB
The zinc-alloy body carries a solid weight, and the doors and hood both open, revealing the turbocharged five-cylinder engine that gave the Quattro its distinctive engine note and genuine performance credentials. Panel gaps run a bit wider than the tightest resin tooling would produce, standard for this tier, but the boxy, flared-arch silhouette that defines the Quattro's shape comes through with real clarity in the casting. The silver paint holds an even gloss without the deeper flake a costlier finish would carry, a fitting match for a car whose reputation rests on engineering rather than styling flourish. This is a used example, and the outer box shows traces of storage, wear the carton has picked up over time that leaves the model itself unaffected.
The Quattro's Legacy Beyond Rally Competition
While the rally-spec Quattros captured most of the era's headlines, the road-going LWB version brought that all-wheel-drive technology to buyers who would never see a stage, a genuine trickle-down from motorsport to showroom that few cars of the period could claim as directly. For a shelf built around Group B rally heritage or Audi's engineering history specifically, this Quattro connects the competition legend to the car customers could actually buy, a link that gives the road car more weight than its stats alone would suggest.
