Overhangs longer than a radio tower.

It’s a good thing radio towers are tall and not long, because otherwise things would be a little impractical.

It has a shrunken wheel base, so the overhangs just look long.

Pre-facelift, it’s okay.

These are maybe the ugliest cars ever made

I’ve been saying this all along. Audis are terrible. That front wheel needs to be shifted frontward about a foot, and the engine shifted back about a foot. That would make such a better car.

This is hate speech, I have been triggered.

difference between Pontiac and Audi is , Audi engine is in front of the axle line.

Whereas the Pontiac has air ahead of the axle centerline (and yet no space to work on the pop-ups)

What’s wrong with overhangs?!

It only looks like long over hangs because the took like a foot or out of the wheelbase.

And the windscreen is that of the Audi 80 – as requested by the drivers – to avoid the annoying reflections experienced with the rake of the screen in the original Quattro A1.

Whilst the Sport Quattro cannot be accused of being beautiful, for such a brutish, radical, full-steam-ahead-and-damn-the-torpedoes transformation into a proper Group B car it is almost handsome.

I bet Audi could not care less about the looks of the S1 and derivatives if that meant winning the World Rally Championship. In final competition E2 trim, with all its aero appendages, it was even less of a looker, but it certainly had... presence. Arguably more or less the same could be said of the MG Metro 6R4 or even the Delta S4.

For all its success, the Peugeot 205 Turbo 15 looked impossibly dumpy, and in Evo form, with that huge wing/spoiler on the roof, absolutely ridiculous.

Only Ford tried to give its car (the RS200) some sort of nice clothes (by Ghia) right from the beginning, but the jury is still out on whether they succeeded or not.

Exactly 32 cm.

I was still into slot cars at the time and thought it was a very convenient that to begin the transformation of a 1/32 Quattro A1 into an S1 you just had to cut and shut 1 cm aft the B-pillar.

Gotta drive one to understand. The AWD layout in these (and pre-EDL audis) is a blast to hoon.
