The car that was driven to victory along with a record breaking time by Walter Röhrl has achieved cult status amongst Audi fans. The car now resides in the Audi Tradition collection, but 2012 has some exciting news in store for the car. The car, along with its original driver Walter Röhrl will be at Pikes Peak in July for a demonstration run up the recently paved Pikes Peak hillclimb route. Audi fans from around the world will once again be able to see this monstrous car racing towards the sky.
