Champion of DTM in 1991
This car graced the German Touring Car Championship (DTM) in 1991, with a 456hp 3.6-liter V8 engine mounted in the front and Audi's famed quattro four-wheel drive. This model depicts the 4-door sedan body in polycarbonate with front and rear spoilers. The Audi with its imposing body overcame significant ballast handicaps and stiff competition from the likes of BMW and Mercedes-Benz to bear driver Frank Biela to four wins and a superb Driver's Championship.

TT-02: Adaptable, balanced shaft driven 4WD
The shaft-driven 4WD TT-02 chassis employs a longitudinal layout with the battery on the left and the motor on the right, to give excellent stability. In addition, it features identical left and right suspension arms and uprights for ease of assembly, plus easy-to-maintain gearboxes. It is a highly adaptable chassis, as it offers 2 different wheelbases, 2 ground clearance settings and 2 tread set-ups in addition to a range of 10 possible gear ratios. It is not short on looks either, with brake disc-shaped wheel hubs and stylish front bumper supports. Wheels use slick tires with gold spokes and silver rims.
