Audi’s short-wheelbase Sport Quattro of the 1980s has become the stuff of legend. Based on the earlier Quattro coupe, the Sport Quattro was developed as a homologation special for Group B rallying and as a result saw limited production. Just 214 were made over two years, and many never made it into private hands. It means finding an original for sale is next to impossible, unless your pockets are really deep.
German firm LCE High Performance based in Markdorf, near the shores of Lake Constance, may have the next best thing. The cost starts at a reasonable 140,000 euros (approximately $147,000). The company offers Sport Quattro replicas that are built from the ground up, either for street use or rallying.
One of the replicas was recently spotted testing at the Nürburgring, complete with flames spitting out of the exhaust pipe.
