Revealed: Legendary Audi Quattro returns with 10,000rpm V8 twist

Audacious Automotive, an Edinburgh-based builder, has revealed the Audacious IV, a modern tribute to the original Audi Quattro. The vehicle replaces the classic five-cylinder engine with a V8 capable of reaching 10,000 rpm and producing 750 bhp. It blends the styling of the short-wheelbase Quattro with the chassis and underpinnings of the B7-generation Audi RS4 from 2006 to 2008. Production is limited to 50 hand-built units, with pricing starting above 350,000 pounds. The car is claimed to reach a top speed of 200 mph.
