Connect FourAudi is fond of telling the anecdote that a pre-production quattro vehicle left all rear-wheel-drive sedans behind on an incline in wintry Austria - with summer tires! In fact, the well-known slogan "Vorsprung durch Technik" has seldom been put into practice as tangibly as with the presentation of permanent all-wheel drive in the Audi quattro, which established this drive variant as one of the first in production vehicle manufacturing. And it was not only on snow-covered mountain passes that the four driven wheels played out their advantages: They were safer and, above all, faster on all kinds of surfaces.But a look back also reveals other special features of this brand-defining sports coupe: the five-cylinder in-line engine made for a husky voice, the digital displays installed in the interior from 1982 onward gave it a futuristic look, and the angular body design with its distinctive twin headlights had a high recognition factor. Anyone who drove a quattro stood out. This successful package was crowned by the successes of the sports version: Walter Röhrl's victory in the 1984 Monte Carlo Rally and the record-breaking drive in the 1987 Pikes Peak Hillclimb cemented the nimbus of the sporty all-purpose weapon.Forty years after its unveiling at the 1980 Geneva Motor Show, the quattro now receives its well-deserved tribute in a comprehensive monograph written by a brand connoisseur and fully supported by Audi Tradition.- the complete chronology of the Urquattro from prototype to final model- all technical data and production figures- numerous, partly unpublished photos from the Audi factory archive

"The highlights of my extraordinary journey with Mr Clarkson included pizza with Harry and Wills; dancing with Mick Jagger on the private island of Mustique, and having happy birthday sung to me by Brian Ferry and Richard E. Grant. I was asked out by Hugh Grant (and went!); partied at what I called Jimmy Carr's celebtastic weekly house parties attended by Sir Elton John, James Corden, and the like; and, at Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch's engagement party, I received the ultimate compliment on my outfit from the Dame Joan Collins. The adventures, laughter, drama, and excitement were never-ending. Party after party, celeb after celeb, private villas, palaces, MPs and royalty adorned our crazy life on this road less travelled. Jeremy ascended to great heights, both in his professional career and his personal life. So too did our relationship, leading us both into a social circle that most can only dream of." In The Wonderful World of Jeremy Clarkson, Phillipa Sage shares more of the highs, the lows, and the constant mayhem of life with Clarkson, Hammond, and May.
