Idea
The VW Iltis all-terrain vehicle, developed by Audi on behalf of the Bundeswehr for VW, became the germ of the Quattro idea. The legend says this:
During a winter test drive in northern Sweden, this weak-engined Iltis caught up and outperformed the much more powerful and faster front-wheel-drive Audis. The head of the then running gear test initiated work on the creation «an all-wheel drive car with decent power for everyday use». It is known that nothing beats the power of an idea whose time has come, so the developments went on and on until finally the legendary Audi Quattro was introduced.
