| When first introduced at the 1991 Frankfurt Motor Show, the mid-engined Auvs, named after the famous Berlin racetrack, upstaged every other concept vehicle on display.
The Avus Quattro was finished in unpainted aluminium, recalling the racing heritage of the great Auto Union record-breakers (the Silver Arrows) of the 1930's. The Avus's specifications were nothing short of incredible! Powered by a 6.0 litre, 60v, 12-cylinder engine. Which Audi claimed would propel the Avus to a blistering top speed of 211 mph with a 0-60 time of 2.9 seconds. Go to shemes |
