The return of a legend: The Audi Sport Quattro is revived with 600 horsepower
An iconic moment for automotive enthusiasts has arrived, as the legendary Group B-era Audi Sport Quattro returns to the road. The company HSR Manufaktur has unveiled the new "Type 859," a model that draws inspiration from the glorious past of rally racing.
The new vehicle stands out for its choice to remain faithful to tradition. In an era where the automotive industry is shifting en masse toward electrification, the Type 859 features no electric assistance. Instead, it relies exclusively on a powerful internal combustion engine.
Under the hood, the car delivers 600 horsepower, offering performance reminiscent of the race cars that dominated special stages in previous decades. Its design retains the aggressive aesthetic of the original Quattro, combining a classic look with modern manufacturing technology.
This move by HSR Manufaktur is aimed at collectors and drivers who seek a pure driving experience. The Type 859 serves as a tribute to the history of motorsport, proving that the traditional internal combustion engine still excites fans of fast cars.
