...captures the battles to develop the Quattro as the book was written between 1983-1984. It's the best history to date (that I've read) on how the Quattro was developed.For example I had no idea that Walter Treser pretty much acted on his own in the development of the quattro by merrying the Iltis drivetrian under an Audi 80 Saloon. This "Private venture" inside the walls of Audi had upper management skeptical an nervous to fund such a project. Lord knows that changed when they marched that 160bph powered 80 up Turracher Hohe in Austria on regular tires, no chains. I just started the chapter "Making the quattro" which describes in detail how things work on the production line of our cars as they are assembled. Workers preformed a "job cycle" instead of the more traditional Production rates. Each job cycle took an average between two to sixteen minutes depending on the installation. So far this is the best history book on quattro I've read so far.
