Summary

[edit]
Description
English: 1984 Audi Quattro in Alpine White with Cream leather interior heading for the Radwood exhibit which was part of the 2022 Greenwich Concours d'Elegance. This car was sold by Vasek Polak Porsche after having been used as a corporate demo vehicle by Volkswagen/Audi execs (including Ferdinand Pïech, reportedly) at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. As per the car's accompanying documentation, it was "specially built at the Ingolstadt factory for Dr. Hofer, the Director of the Quattro program, in anticipation of his attendance at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. A number of special factory modifications of the vehicle were undertaken at his personal direction including the addition of a yet to be released 1985 model year instrument panel/dashboard and a suspension upgrade with the installation of larger anti-sway bars. He drove the vehicle for approximately six hundred miles during his attendance at the Olympics. The vehicle was then returned to Vasek Polak Audi. Polak drove the vehicle for approximately seventy-five miles prior to [original owner’s] purchase from the dealership." The 15-inch Ronal wheels seem to have been with the car since new. 89k miles, meaning it has only been driven 3,000 miles in the last 14 years!
