Auction: Audi S1 E2 Sport Quattro Recreation Keith Edward's legendary 800+bhp, SWB, Audi S1 which is on the market for the first time. This car will go under the hammer at supercarfest this Saturday.

The Sport version of Audi's sensational Quattro was launched in the autumn of 1983, three years after the original's unveiling at the Geneva Salon had taken the motoring world by storm. It had a shortened wheelbase and was fitted with a new, lighter version of the five-cylinder engine boasting an aluminium block and a twin-cam 20-valve cylinder head, while anti-lock braking made its first appearance on a Quattro-equipped Audi.

Keith has a legendary attention to detail and, throughout the two decades of development, every nut, bolt, pipe and bracket was given consideration in terms of its weight, fitness for purpose and aesthetic merit with shaving tenths of a second the criteria.

The invitation to run the car at Pikes Peak is a major honour within the hill climb community and was proudly received by Keith. The Audi was shipped to Colorado Springs in both 2018 and 2019, however, neither year was to bring fulfilment with the car overheating in 2018 and, despite good practice runs in 2019, the cloud closed in on Race Day and that was that.

"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence" said Vince Lombardi, after whom the Superbowl is named. To suggest that Keith has pursued perfection is no understatement, he has undoubtedly achieved excellence.2.266-litre, in-line 5-cylinder, cast iron block, Aluminum cylinder head with 4 valves per cylinder.

So I guess we can expect Caltrans to turn off all their freeway on/off ramp sprinklers? Anyone else think that's not gonna happen? Can we drink it? 'decorative grass ... are'? Really? Grass is plural now?
