This new episode of Motor Trend’s Downshift series features a tour of the quattro GmbH premises in Neckarsulm.
A subsidiary of AUDI AG, quattro GmbH exists to develop specialist and high performance automobiles for the Ingolstadt company, including the RS 3, RS 4, RS 5 and the recently updated R8 supercar. Taking its name from the iconic four-wheel drive Audi Quattro, a lower-case ‘q’ was used in honour of that innovative vehicle which went on to spawn such machines as the Group B Sport quattro S1 and Sport quattro S1 Pikes Peak.
