About the Audi Sport Quattro S1 #5 W. Rohrl / C. Geistdorfer Rally Sanremo Winner 1985 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 composite Audi Sport Quattro S1 #5 reproduces Walter Rohrl and Christian Geistdorfer's winning car from the 1985 Sanremo Rally, opening doors and bonnet included. This is a used model, box showing storage marks, casting unaffected. A genuine Group B legend for a rally-focused shelf.

Few Group B cars carry as much weight as the Sport Quattro S1, and Rohrl's win at Sanremo in 1985 gives this AUTOart replica a documented result rather than a generic period livery.

Composite Construction and This Copy's Condition

AUTOart builds this S1 as composite construction, pairing a metal body shell with separately moulded fine parts for the wide flared arches, spoiler and rally lighting pods that defined the car's aggressive Group B stance. Doors and bonnet open to reveal the turbocharged five-cylinder engine bay and stripped competition cabin, detail that composite construction resolves more finely than a pure diecast build typically manages. Race number 5 and period Audi Sport livery sit crisply across the panels. This is a used model, and its outer box shows traces of storage rather than shop-fresh presentation, though the casting itself carries no such wear. For a Group B subject this significant, livery accuracy carries more weight than box condition.

The S1's Place in Group B History

Audi's Sport Quattro S1 represented the outer edge of Group B development, and Rohrl's Sanremo win in 1985 came during the final, most extreme phase of the category before its 1986 ban. Displayed alongside other Group B legends, this model documents rallying's most unrestrained era, giving a collection a genuinely important entry from a period that shaped rally car design for decades afterward.
