Audi Sport Quattro To Be Auctioned

An 1984 Audi Sport Quattro with Chassis no. WAUZZZ85ZEA905147 is going to be auctioned on the 16th of January at RMauctions.
Under the hood the is a 302 hp, 2,133 cc DOHC 20-valve alloy-block inline five-cylinder engine with a KKK-K27 turbocharger and Bosch electronic fuel injection. The power is channeled to the wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The car also features Quattro all-wheel drive, four-wheel independent coil-spring suspension with front and rear anti-roll bars, four-wheel ventilated and slotted AP four-piston racing disc brakes with selective ABS. 
Audi built a mere 214 Sport Quattros, most of which were sold to select customers via specialized dealers. In Germany, the car ultimately retailed for more than 200,000 Deutschmarks, which was a substantial sum that bought owners more than a taste of competition-proven performance. 
It was acquired by its current American-based caretaker from its first owner, noted Japanese collector Yoshikuni Okamoto of Kobe, and at that time, it had just 8,300 kilometers, which are very much believed to be from new. Notably, Sport Quattros were not officially imported to the United States, making them even scarcer on these shores.
In the end the prospect buyer is expected to pay somewhere between the amount of $ 350-475,000.
