Slideshow: Audi's Best Racers
1 ring to rule them all? Try four. Audi has been kicking ass and taking names for longer than their competitors care to remember. Here are the best race cars they’ve made.
Group B Quattro
100% legend. Walter Rohrl made this car famous in the Group B series with its fire-breathing turbocharged 5 cylinder engine. The car would go on to solidify a place in motorsport history and become a sought-after collectors car. If you’re in love with this rallying legend you better start saving. Road versions sell for half a million bucks easy!

Silver Arrow
Before it was Audi it was Auto Union. Before cars like the R8 and R10, there were the Silver Arrows. What would eventually become Audi was born from this company and the fact its early days are awash with cars like the Silver Arrows is a testament to the direction this company would ultimately go in. Today Audi is responsible for some of the fastest cars on the planet. They can trace their roots back right to this machine.

A4 DTM
2,000lbs with 460 horsepower? Yes, please. Audi's foray into DTM has seen the company tackle and dominate one of the hardest door-to-door racing series in the world. Their weapon of choice is the highly modified A4 which utilizes a 4 liter V8 and a lightning fast ZF sequential transmission. When it comes to hardcore they don’t get any better than this.

R10 TDI
The only thing Audi loves more than naming cars after parts numbers is winning. The R10 TDI was a groundbreaking idea that would become a game changer. No one had used diesel before to win a 24-hour race and that’s just what Audi did. This car put Audi on the map and ushered in an unprecedented era of dominance at Le Mans that would last for years to come.

Final Thoughts
Audi has been at the forefront of innovative thinking in racing with a track record that not many can lay claim to. There is seemingly no format of competition they can’t overcome to win year after year. I hope you enjoyed this list and we see Audis return to Le Mans again. Until next time…
