In 1987, Group B cars could no longer compete in rallies. In a rush, Audi replaces its legendary S1 Quattro by a 200. The large saloon won out over the Quattro Coupé. It was a surprising choice, revealed shortly before the start of the Monte Carlo season. The imposing saloon has no wide kit or imposing spoiler. Group A is the opposite of Group B, and the Audi 200 is surely the best example of this. Officially announced as having 'only' 238 bhp, it doesn't seem suited for rally. At Monte Carlo, Walter Röhrl nevertheless proved that he was in the game, finishing third behind the Lancia Delta. The little Italians were to dominate the 87 season, but Audi still came second in the championship with its improbable Audi 200 quattro!
