The Audi Quattro is a road and rally car, produced by the German automobile manufacturer Audi, part of the Volkswagen Group. It was first shown at the 1980 Geneva Motor Show on 3 March. Production continued through 1991. The word quattro is derived from the Italian word for 'four' to represent the fact that the vehicle delivers power to all four wheels. The name has also been used by Audi to refer to the quattro four-wheel-drive system, or any four-wheel-drive version of an Audi model. The original Quattro model is also commonly referred to as the Ur-Quattro - the 'Ur-' (German for 'primordial', 'original', or 'first of its kind') is an augmentative prefix. The idea of such a car came from the Audi engineer Jörg Bensinger. (Source: Wikipedia.org, CC BY-SA)
