This is emotional. I'm in awe. Building a no longer existing car from a tiny toy model and a few internet pictures is mind boggling. I can't wait to see how this all pans out. All the very best!!
Glad to see someone building this at last. I’ve wanted to build this for the last 15 years since seeing all the early photos for the first time. If anyone can do this car justice it’s you guys😀👍👍👍
I was going to build it in the future, i mind to be the only one to have that car...I live near the secret test track where the photos were made...and I love the story behind that place...It would be nice to drive it there
What a project! Know how much work is involved with building something where parts simply don't exist but what you've taken on is way over that. All the best for an incredible build
As a fan of both Group B and Audi, I always wished that those mythical mid engined cars had survived. I liked to imagine that Gumpert had maybe managed to stash one safely away. Audi have the Grp S prototype but that looks like a miniature LMP car. The real dream looked like the proper Audi rally cars in those grainy pictures. You could only imagine how they might have given the T16s and S4s a run for their money if they had made it to the 1987 Group B season that never happened. So pleased to see you are building the unicorn of my car dreams.
Have watched this out of order as I stumbled over it. Trans wise it sounds similar to the RS200 configuration - having seen the pics of the chassis it looks like you are running a torque tube to the gearbox rather than bolting direct? Very cool project, keep on down the rabbit hole!
Not familiar with Audis but an interesting building. Any chance of putting this series into a playlist? Came across the build and had to search around to find the start.
