The Car So Fast Its Sport Had to Ban It | Audi Quattro S1

In 1986, rally cars had more than 500 horsepower, and fans still stood in the middle of the road. Within two months, the sport banned its own cars. This is the story of the Audi Sport Quattro S1 and the Group B era: a military jeep in the snow, Michèle Mouton beating the men who said she couldn't, a car cut in half, Walter Röhrl, the tragedies of 1986, and the mountain where the monster went next. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Too fast for its own sport 01:04 A jeep in the snow 02:19 200 horsepower: Michèle Mouton 03:47 300 horsepower: Group B 04:49 450 horsepower: the Sport Quattro 05:42 500 horsepower: the S1 E2 07:13 The red line: 1986 09:13 600 horsepower: Pikes Peak 10:03 How do you build a car too fast for its sport? 10:48 Next: Hudson Hornet 📸 Image credits (Wikimedia Commons) Audi Sport Quattro S1 / Sport Quattro / Quattro rally cars: MrWalkr, CC BY-SA 4.0 · Ermell, CC BY-SA 4.0 · Bahnfrend, CC BY-SA 4.0 · Calreyn88, CC BY-SA 4.0 · SiedeWerk, CC BY-SA 3.0 Volkswagen Iltis: Berthold Werner, CC BY-SA 4.0 Turracher Höhe: Branko Radovanović, CC BY-SA 3.0 Michèle Mouton: unknown author, public domain (San Remo 1981) · Fabien Rochet, CC BY-SA 4.0 Walter Röhrl: Thilo Parg, CC BY-SA 3.0 Hannu Mikkola: Michelin LIVE UK, CC BY 2.0 Stig Blomqvist: Caroline Jonsson, CC BY 3.0 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16: Arnaud 25, CC BY-SA 4.0 Lancia Delta S4: Tennen-Gas, CC BY-SA 3.0 · Mr.choppers, CC BY-SA 3.0 Ford RS200 and Lancia 037: Calreyn88, CC BY-SA 4.0 Serra de Sintra: GualdimG, CC BY-SA 4.0 Corsica: Isiwal, CC BY-SA 3.0 Pikes Peak Highway: Alexander Migl, CC BY-SA 4.0 · Glenn Harper, CC BY 2.0 Hudson Hornet: Wilfredor, CC0 Full links: see the pinned comment.
