Audi ties new TT-RS to IMSA GTO-conquering 90 Quattro

Audi ties new TT-RS to IMSA GTO-conquering 90 Quattro

"A race car has a soul.". So says Hand-Joachim Stuck, winner of the 1990 DTM Championship behind the wheel of the iconic Audi 90 Quattro. Not surprisingly, Audi would love you to draw a connection between the soul of the turbocharged five-cylinder-powered Quattro of old with the soul-stirring new TT-RS. Successful racing heritage is, after all, a major selling point of this class of cars.

But does the old 90 Quattro really have anything to do with the new TT-RS? Well, that's debatable. If nothing else, both cars feature a turbocharged five underhood along with all-wheel drive.
