Details:
Audi released the original Quattro to customers in late 1980, making it both the first car to feature Audi's Quattro permanent four-wheel drive system and the first to mate four-wheel drive with a turbocharged engine. The original engine was the 2,144cc (2.1 L), inline-5-cylinder, 10 valve SOHC, with a turbocharger and intercooler. It produced 197 bhp and torque of 285 Nm (210 lbft) at 3500 rpm; propelling the Quattro from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds and reaching a top speed of over 137MPH (220 km/h). The engine was eventually modified to a 2,226 cc (2.2 L) inline-5 10 valve, still producing 147 kW (200 PS; 197 bhp), but with peak torque lower in the rev-range.

In 1989, it was then changed to a 2,226 cc (136 cu in) inline-5 20v (2.2 L 20v) DOHC setup producing 162 kW (220 PS; 217 bhp), now with a top speed of 143 mph (230 km/h). Audi Quattros are often referred to among owners and enthusiasts by their engine codes, to differentiate between the earlier and later versions: the earliest 2144 cc 10v being the "WR" engine, the 2226 cc 10v being the "MB" engine, and the later 20v being the "RR" engine. Hence, Quattro models may be referred to as either the WR Quattro, MB Quattro, and RR or "20v" Quattro, respectively.

Quattro car production was 11,452 vehicles over the period 1980 to 1991, and through this 11 year production span, despite some touch-ups, there were no major changes in the visual design of the vehicle. For the 1983 model year, the dash was switched from an analogue instrument cluster, to a green digital liquid crystal display. This was later changed in 1988 to an orange LCD electronic instrument cluster. The interior was redesigned in 1984, and featured a whole new dash layout, new steering wheel design, and new centre console design, the switches around the instrument panel were also redesigned at this time. In 1985 the dash changed slightly with harder foam and lost a diagonal stripe, the dash switches were varied slightly and the diff lock pull knob gave way to a two-position turning knob with volt and oil temp digital readouts.

Offered here is a 1988 UR Quattro coupé in Mars red with tartan trim, which is described as being in good condition overall. The car has the usual UR Quattro attributes, has covered 119,000 miles from new and is offered on behalf on the vendor's agent. The motor car has been in storage for a period and will require and MoT inspection and service ahead of regular use.
