After the experience with the Quattro in rallies, Audi approved the 200 Quattro sedan in Group A / N, in view of the 1987 season. Unfortunately, the car was not fast enough against the competition (especially Lancia) also because of size and dimensions. Audi however took the satisfaction of a one-two at the Safari 1987. The 200 Quattro was also used by private teams until 1991, both in Group A and in Group N.
