Toyota Model-F Space Cruiser

Look at the angle of lean! I'd love to know what happened in the seconds after that picture was taken, and what the passenger was thinking.

Citroen BX, CX and Visa Styling Accessories

Scanned from a 1980s brochure. I don't think I've ever seen a BX with those stripes, and I'm almost certain that I've never seen a Visa with that black trim on the tailgate either!

Twice the drive of any other sports car

The revolutionary Audi Quattro. The fastest four wheel drive production sports car in the world.

Audi Ur-Quattro  Retro Car Advert

Powered by a 200bhp, turbo-charged, 2.2 litre, five cylinder engine, it reaches 60mph in a sharp 6.7 seconds with a top speed of 137mph.

Inside, you will find all the creature comforts more normally associated with a luxury saloon. Heated front seats, electric windows, power steering and central locking all come as standard.

And there's seating for five full-size adults – a rarity in a high performance sports car.

Maybe that's why What Car? Has voted the Audi Quattro “Best Sporting Car of the Year”.

Or it could be the 1981 victories in the San Remo, Swedish and RAC Lombard rallies.

Whatever the reason, you can make up your own mind by booking a test drive at any one of the eight approved Quattro dealers listed below.

Just ask for the fastest drive on four wheels.
