if you guys like this car you would love the group B rally cars!
i have a dvd at home called TOO FAST TO RACE. it is NUTS. they where the wonder years, we will never see such hardcore cars in off road competition every again.

Actually this car started life as a Group B rally car - the running gear of the 205 Group B car was dropped into the 405 body (for marketing purposes) and the car was used for Pikes Peak as well as the Dakar Rally.

When Group B was banned at the end of 1986, the manufacturers found other events that the cars could be used for, notably Pikes Peak. Audi also raced the Group B Quattro S1 at the Peak, and won in '87 with Walter Rorhl. The Pug won in '88 and '89.
