Quattro Sport is a good call, however, there is only 1 winner.

Sounds awesome.

Utterly ridiculous as a rally car.

Mr Stig B was driving a similar one.

Very sideways 95% of the time.

So many choices... here is a current one. Not the prettiest thing around, but with a 3.5 Formula Renault V6 it sounds amazing.
