Brakes

I recall seeing a documentary about the Quattro on PBS many years ago. One of the things about the original/early rally car that has stuck in my mind is the fact that it had four pedals: one accelerator, one clutch, and two brake pedals (one for front, and one for rear, I guess). But, it's been so long that my mind might be playing tricks and this "fact" might not really be true. If anyone knows, it'd be an interesting addition to the article. I only remember some mention of it since the driver apparently wasn't doing very well when one of the first races started, but then suddenly realized how to properly use all of the pedals and then went on to win. —Mulad (talk) 19:44, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That is interesting... I'm 99.9% positive none of the road UrQs/SportQs had this configuration (mine certainly doesn't, I can barely heel-toe brake, that would be a disaster!), but I certainly wouldn't discount the possibility that one of the competitive builds had that setup. I'll check with some folks I know who are far more knowledgable than I.

One of the guys at my work place has a white 1986 Audi Quattro GT coupe. —Gm1121983 21:57, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the in car footage of rally quattro's show the standard 3 pedal configuration, although 4 may have been used in a testing session. The most famous footage is Walter Rohl driving in car through Portugal. You can see his heel toe, and him steering the quattro A1 through parting crowds, crazy stuff. I cant remember any interviews on early testing mentioning this, but it may have been true as strange ideas were tested to gain any advantage.

The "0" Uribe car does not have 4 pedals.

Merge from Audi Quattro S1

This page is only 7.5k, and includes a section on the Qudi Quattro Sport. The Audi Quattro S1 page is a teeny little stub. I say merge. --DeLarge 20:55, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from Audi Coupe Quattro

This article is also quite small. Merge? Sounds good to me.
