This $570,000 Audi Sport Quattro Tribute Isn’t Built From A Real Quattro

Key Points:

• Homologation Specials Reimagined (HSR Manufaktur) has introduced the Type 859, a tribute to the Audi Sport Quattro SWB, built around a shortened Audi Coupe B2 chassis rather than modifying original Quattros.
• The Type 859 features modern design elements inspired by the original, including yellow-tinted rally headlights, aggressive bumpers, flared wheel arches, and a large fixed rear wing, with all exterior panels made from lightweight carbon fiber.
• The car incorporates advanced active aerodynamic components and targets a weight under 1,200 kg, though this has not been confirmed, and includes a roll cage for added safety.
• Powered by Audi’s 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine from the RS3, the Type 859 delivers up to 600 hp with a longitudinal engine layout, paired with a six-speed manual transmission, Torsen center differential, and mechanical LSD.
• Production is limited to 84 units, each priced starting at €500,000 ($570,000) excluding tax, featuring high-end specs such as active suspension, carbon ceramic brakes, rev matching, and launch control.
