Audi Quattro Sport

Mikkola made the rally debut of Audi's revolutionary second-evolution Sport Quattro within days of the design being accepted by FISA. Some 20 examples have been built and the team hope to make the World Championship debut in Finland on the 1000 Lakes, but for a trial run, Mikkola was sent to the Olympus Rally in America last weekend and duly won with ease.

During the AWA Clarion Rally of New Zealand, Audi's team manager Roland Gumpert made public for the first time many of the fundamental design objectives, aimed at regaining for Audi a competitive edge against recent four-wheel drive designs, especially from Peugeot.

"The main disadvantage with our first-evolution car was that too much weight was over the front axle. This is because the back of our production-based car has been designed to take baggage, which is not needed in rallying!
