British Marque Creates New Audi Quattro with 10,000-RPM V-8

Audacious Automotive, a small British manufacturer, is building a modern tribute to the iconic Audi Quattro.

The Audacious Automotive IV combines the underpinnings of the B7-generation RS4 with the style of the legendary Audi Quattro and a coach-built interior.

The car features a 4.2-liter V-8 engine that revs to 10,000 rpm and produces up to 740 horsepower, depending on the engine configuration.

The IV will be offered with four engine configurations, including a standard supercharged setup, a naturally aspirated option, and two upgraded versions with strengthened internals and improved cooling.

The car will use the RS4’s original six-speed manual gearbox and is expected to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 200 mph.

Customers can choose between metal bodywork sourced from an original Quattro donor or a new carbon-fiber body.

The company expects to produce around 50 hand-built units worldwide, with prices starting at over $468,000.
