Yep, favourite rally car of all time

That Prospeed built car in the video is circa 770bhp by the way

I know guys. I never get bored of hearing these things. Much that the sound of a tuned subaru sends a tingle down my spine. This has the edge for me

Mr Edwards appears to drive that incredibly timidly. Monster car but doesn't ever appear to be attacking the course?
Not saying that driving that car is easy at all but never appears to be committed?

Favourite car of all time, I was lucky enough to listen to them in the forests in the mid '80s. Once heard, never forgotten...

I love the sound of the WRC Imprezas but can't compare to a Group B Quattro IMHO...

Awesome machines.

I was lucky enough to have been in the company of Group B's many times. Best cars of all time in my book.

When you are there next to them they sound so different (better) than the videos.

If you like the sounds of an S1 / S2 check this out.

I have heaps of S1 vids but there is something about this clip that lets you hear the S1 properly.

Volume ++++++

Awesome ending !

My dad had three uR Quattros, the last a full Treser conversion. Great cars but a little more modest than the full fat versions!

Used to go to Brands and watch rallycross, back in the days they used group B cars.
Quattro S1's racing against 6r4's, Delta S4's, RS200's and Pug T16's all on the same track racing each other, absolutely awesome!

Best sight, and sound, was watching the Quattro and the S4 flick sideways into the start of druids, and keep it perfectly sideways, 90 degree angle pointing at the apex as if they were a second hand sweeping around a clock face, and then flicking it back round to enter the gravel section.

The Group B Quattro S1's were notoriously tricky to drive, with 450-500 brake on tap, drivers saying the throttle was on and off like flicking a light switch. Can you possibly imagine how difficult a Pikes Peak Quattro with 750-800bhp would be like to drive! I don't think it would be a case of just flicking it sideways around corners, not on tarmac at least, that thing was spinning up in every gear on the straights.

Plus epic turbo lag to deal with. Even in Dads Quattros, it was a pretty major issue.

Granted, but compare Mr Edwards to that of the driver of the Prospeed car in the first video.
Just shows the commitment on a completely different level.
