These days, Audi’s Quattro brand is regarded as one of the best all-wheel drive systems on the market. The first Audi Quattros (aka the “Ur-Quattro”) -made in the early 1980s – had a significant impact on how not only sports cars are made, but on almost every vehicle in today’s Audi lineup.…

We’ve known about Tanner Foust’s impressive new Volkswagen rally car for a while, but every time we see it, we can’t get enough.

The Porsche 911 is certainly no stranger to races of all kinds, with an impressive history of success on track. But what some people don’t realize is that the humble 911 is also right at home in the world of off road rallies, having competed around the world in races like the grueling Paris-Dakar rally and the East African Safari Rally.…
