Audi S4 (C4) GTO Chirping Like a Bird! - 2.2L 5-Cylinder Turbo Engine Melody

This Audi S4 GTO could be considered as the Audi 90 IMSA GTO twin. Why? Because it's actually a 90 GTO with a different body na chassis. Let me explain..

After the 1989 IMSA championship Audi retired from the American competition and they shipped two of their Audi 200 Quattro TransAm to South Africa in order to race in the Wesbanks Modified championship where old GTO & TransAm car could be raced. By 1991 the 200 TransAm were not as fast as the previous years so Audi South Africa considered that the Audi 90 IMSA GTO would have been the perfect replacement.

Problem is the 90 model wasn't sold in SA thus the race car was not allowed to compete as per the rules. So they decided to build a brand new race car: based on the C4 Audi S4 plaform, the new racer was built under the approval of Audi itself which helped in the chassis construction. Furthermore they sent in SA one of the few Audi 90 left in order to be studied and copied. Most of the S4 GTO mechanical parts are exactly the same as the 90 GTO, plus very similar aerodynamics and engine (which is a 2.2-litre turbocharged 5-cylinder engine with around 700hp at 7500 rpm and 720 Nm of torque).

Watch it in action during the 2017 Goodwood Festival of Speed and enjoy the fantastic 5-cylinder melody together with that lovely turbo whistle!!

What's more impressive to me is that you are able to run to the next corner before the cars get there. No one gives you enough credit for this

This sound is a "eargasm" for me !!!

[motogp]

Audi has one of the best sounding cars in the history of Motorsport this one sounds exactly like the Audi 90 quattro imsa GTO, that turbo is insane!

[baconfister]

I cannot get enough of that amazing sound! It’s right up there with Formula 1 V-10s, Porsche flat-6s, Jaguar V-12s, and the lovely inline-6 mills from BMW and Nissan (RB26DETT).

It roars like a demon from depths of hell and then chirps like a small bird on a branch on Sunday morning.

[togera]

that straight 5 that sounds like an aggressive V10… I love it <3

[vf]

while everyone else were making diesel 5 pots which is simply not good enough for eargasm, Audi is simply the hero.
