Newsletter 485: Finally!August 18th, 2021

Finally!

Finally!
At the 1984 Tour de Corse, Audi presents a new evolution of the Audi Quattro A2, with more than 450 hp, lighter and with an even shorter wheelbase. He only achieved one victory, in the 1984 Ivory Coast Rally. It will be used in 1985 until the Ivory Coast Rally but it did not achieve any victories, although he conquered several podiums. But most importantly, this car laid the foundation for the absolutely brutal Audi Sport Quattro S1.

Nunu has made us happy once again by putting on the market the model of the Audi Sport Quattro in 1/24 scale with the decoration used in the 1986 Toyota Olympus Rally car and that finally, after a thousand and one international logistics problems, has reached the SpotModel warehouse.

Don't worry guys... we have it at SpotModel!!! :)
