Competition na cesti

Kot vulgaren opis tega avta bi lahko uporabili dan danes zelo pogost izraz S-line. Competition je veliko več kot to.

Za homologacijo tega avta v vseh tekmovanjih, je Audi v letu 1994 izdelal 2500 Audijev 80 Competition za redno prodajo. Imeli so motor 2.0 16v DOHC (šifra motorja ACE, njegev predhodnik je bil 6A), 103KW (140HP)pri 5200rpm, 182NM navora pri 4500rpm , z mehanskim Boschevim vbrizgom Ke-Jetronic:

Competition na dirkališču

Zgodba o tem avtomobilu se prične leta 1992, takoj potem ko je Audi izstopil iz DTM-a (kjer so dirkali z V8). V Franciji in Italiji so dirkali v "touringwagen" prvenstvih z Audijem 80 quattro, z 2.0 16v motorjem (272hp) v letih 1992 (Frank Biela je postal francoski prvak) in 1993. To je predhodnik Competitiona.

The Competition on the racetrack

The story of this car begins in 1992, right after the retirement from the DTM (where Audi raced with the V8). An Audi 80 quattro 2.0 16v (272HP) raced in the French and Italian "touringwagen" championship in the 1992 (Frank Biela won the Franch championship) and 1993 seasons. This is the predecessor of the Competition.

Na tej sliki se tudi vidi, kako so uspeli spustiti avto tako nizko. Šalce amortizerjev so potisnili na vrh prečne povezave med amortizerjema.

On this photo is also visible, how they menaged to lower the front of the car. The top mounts were moved on top of the strut brace bracket.

Platišča so BBS monoblok 19". Na tej sliki je viden podaljšek prednjega odbijača (pred napisom Audi quattro):

The outside look of the Competition variated according to the championships it was involved into. The wheels are BBS monoblock 19".
