Hot Wheels Audi Celebration Audi 90 quattro

The Car That Humiliated the V8s — Audi 90 quattro By the late 1980s, American sports car fans thought they knew exactly what an IMSA race winner looked like. It would have a thunderous V8, rear-wheel drive, and enough cubic inches to power a small town. Then Audi arrived. The Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO looked unconventional, sounded unconventional, and raced differently. Beneath its dramatic bodywork sat a turbocharged five-cylinder engine and Audi's revolutionary quattro all-wheel-drive system. The result was devastatingly effective. This Hot Wheels version celebrates one of the most important competition cars in Audi history, a machine that proved technology could beat tradition.
