Audi quattro A2

Auto Union D-Type
Audi will once again support the annual Goodwood Festival of Speed this summer (7-9 July) by displaying its rich heritage of motorsport through the ages.
The German prestige car manufacturer, which has supported Lord March’s two- and four-wheel motorsport extravaganza since 1998, will display and demonstrate a host of vehicles.

An ultra-rare 1939 Auto Union D-Type has been "recreated" by Roach Manufacturing and Crosswaite & Gardiner and will make its first public appearance. The D-Type’s first race with the unusual double-supercharger engine configuration was the 1939 Belgium Grand Prix while H. P. Müller won the car’s very next race (French GP).

Two other Auto Unions are also expected to come over from AUDI AG’s highly-acclaimed Museum in Ingolstadt in July.

The very original Audi quattro rallycar will be joined by a 1983 GpB Audi quattro A2 rally machine. Both ex-factory cars have been lovingly and superbly restored by Manchester-based quattro enthusiast John Hanlon.
