This legendary two-door coupe features classical styling with blister-style overfenders, faithfully recreated in 1/24 scale by Tamiya. Originally introduced in the early 1980s, the Audi Quattro revolutionized rally racing with its groundbreaking all-wheel drive system and turbocharged performance.

Tamiya’s kit captures every detail of the iconic design — from the sharply defined body lines and distinctive boxy silhouette to the aggressive fender flares and signature front grille. Ideal for collectors and modelers alike, this kit offers both nostalgic appeal and precision engineering, making it a must-have for any automotive enthusiast.

The unique inline-5 turbo engine and its engine bay are faithfully recreated with impressive attention to detail. Tamiya has accurately modeled the layout of the engine room, including the turbocharger, intake system, and supporting components, offering a realistic glimpse under the hood of this rally legend.

The inline-five configuration, a hallmark of Audi’s engineering during the era, is carefully represented to showcase its distinctive placement and mechanical complexity. Perfect for modelers who appreciate authentic engine detail, this feature adds depth and realism to the overall build.

The interior is beautifully recreated, highlighted by finely molded front seats with separate headrest parts for added realism. The dashboard features intricate detailing, accurately capturing the layout of the original car’s gauges, controls, and vents.

 Tamiya’s craftsmanship shines in the subtle textures and precise proportions, allowing modelers to appreciate the driver-focused cockpit of the Audi Quattro. Whether viewed through the clear windows or while assembling the model, the interior adds an extra layer of authenticity to this 1/24 scale classic.

The rear spoiler is provided as a separate part, allowing for crisp detail and a precise fit that enhances the sporty silhouette of the Audi Quattro. At the back, the clear parts are expertly molded and pre-tinted to accurately represent the distinctive rear combination lights.

This thoughtful design choice adds a realistic touch to the tail section, capturing the look of the original vehicle's lighting elements with clarity and depth. These small but impactful details contribute to the overall authenticity and high-quality finish of the model.

A comprehensive decal sheet is included, offering fine details such as seat fabric stripes and dashboard markings to enhance the model’s interior realism. Additionally, it provides two color options for the body pinstripes and emblems, allowing builders to match the decals to their chosen body color for a more authentic and customized finish.

These high-quality decals elevate the final appearance of the model, making it ideal for those who appreciate period-correct styling and visual accuracy.

• Adhesives, like plastic cement, to bond parts securely. (e.g., Tamiya #87003 Tamiya Cement 40ml or #87182 Tamiya Extra Thin Cement)
• Sanding tools, such as sandpaper or files, to smooth out edges and remove mold lines. (e.g., Tamiya #74046 Basic File Set, #87009 Medium Set Abrasives)
• Paints (acrylic or enamel) and brushes or an airbrush system to bring the model to life with realistic colors.
