1985 Audi Stock No. 2765

Quattro

CPR Classic is delighted to offer this immaculate 1985 Audi Quattro finished in rare Tizianrot Metallic over a Black leather interior. This example has had just two owners since new, with the second being a decades-long CPR Client, and has traveled just 31,200 miles.

The Audi Quattro is a unique 1980s homologation special that was produced to homologate and support Audi's triumphs in the World Rally Group B Championship, in which their Quattro rally car was the first of its kind and dominated the sport.

This example is believed to be 1 of just 73 US production Audi Quattros built in 1985. A total of 664 cars were built for the US market between 1982 and 1986. The car sports a 2.2 liter inline 5 cylinder turbocharged engine with an original power output of 200hp. The engine is mated to a 5-speed 4-wheel drivetrain that is derived from Audi's rally programme.

Delivered new in Potomac Maryland to its first owner, the car remained with the original owner for the next 25 years being driven sparingly, serviced, and stored. In 2006, the car was shown at the Audi Club North America Deutsche Marque Concours where it won its class. In 2010, showing 29,000 miles, the car was sold from its first owner to a long-time CPR Client who has maintained it in his collection over the past 14 years. The car has visited CPR on several occasions during that time. During the most recent ownership, only several thousand miles have been added while carrying out a multitude of service work to maintain the car's preservation and maintenance.

The car retains all original books, jack, tool kit, spare tire, original dealership brochures, and a thorough records set, which are included in the sale.

Optioned as follows from the factory:

R85- North American market vehicle

079 - Leather trim

372- North American Code (unknown)

478 - Wheel disc Aluminum - 8J x 15 H2 ET24

560 - Steel Sliding Roof

647 - North American code (unknown)

992- North American code (unknown) (please share if you do!)

This example remains stock outside of several very tasteful modifications that only enhance the car's aesthetic and driveability. Factory European headlights have been added, along with an upgraded K24 Turbocharger, updated water cooling kit, and a 2Bennett performance chip raising the car's power output to 220hp, from the factory 200hp. A later Blaupunkt radio is installed, but the original radio is included with the car and can be installed at the buyer's request.

An unusual but very cool offering, we find this example to be one of the best available anywhere on the market currently. It is of the lowest mileage, unmolested, and thoroughly original including all original paint. If you are in the market for an Audi Quattro or just something unique and different to add to your collection, this is a must-consider car.
