AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Audi Quattro LWB wears silver over the long-wheelbase road version of Audi's rally-bred coupe. This is a used model, and the box shows traces of storage, though the casting itself is unaffected. Doors and bonnet open to reveal the cabin and turbocharged engine bay. A genuinely significant piece for a Group B or Audi shelf.
TL;DR: This AUTOart 1:18 diecast Audi Quattro LWB reproduces the 1988 long-wheelbase road coupe in silver, with opening doors and bonnet. The model is used, and its box shows traces of storage. Zinc alloy construction carries the Quattro's boxy, flared bodywork with real shelf weight.
The Quattro changed rallying by proving all-wheel drive belonged on a competition stage, and a silver LWB example represents the road-going side of that revolution rather than a stripped competition car.
Detail on the AUTOart Quattro LWB
The doors and bonnet on this casting open, showing off the cabin and a turbocharged five-cylinder engine bay that gave the Quattro its distinctive engine note and genuine performance credentials. Zinc alloy gives the model real weight, and the boxy, flared-arch bodywork that distinguishes the Quattro from other Audi coupes of the period is captured with clean, confident cast lines. The silver paint suits the car's understated, engineering-first character, letting the flared wheel arches do the visual talking rather than a loud livery. As a used model this piece has been displayed before, and its box shows the traces of storage that come with that history without affecting the casting itself.
The Road Car Behind a Rallying Revolution
Audi built the Quattro to homologate all-wheel drive for Group B rallying, and the road-going LWB version stretched the wheelbase compared with the original car, offering a more usable rear cabin without abandoning the core turbocharged, all-wheel-drive formula. That road car sold the technology to everyday buyers while the competition versions rewrote the rulebook on loose-surface stages through the 1980s. For a collector interested in how motorsport innovation reached production cars, the Quattro is one of the clearest examples in the entire era.
A Rally-Bred Piece for a Modern Classics Shelf
The Quattro's boxy, flared silhouette stands apart from smoother contemporaries, giving it real visual identity within a broader 1980s or Audi-themed display. Displayed with the bonnet open, it shows off the turbocharged engine bay that connects this road car directly to Audi's rallying success. Given the used condition, checking the door fit and paint under direct light on arrival is sensible, but this remains a genuinely important piece for any Group B or Audi collection.
