If you?Google search?‘Gatebil’, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll find photos and videos of?all-wheel drive cars being drifted about in Sweden and Norway. At Gatebil Mantorp back in June, I found a?machine that’s certainly capable of four-wheel smoky slides, but this one’s not built for gathering style points – although it is very stylish. It’s built for?ripping fast lap times.

如果你谷歌搜索“Gatebil”，你大幾率會刷到一堆四驅(qū)怪獸在瑞典和挪威漂流的視頻。今年6月，在Gatebil Mantorp，我就發(fā)現(xiàn)了這樣一臺四驅(qū)燒胎機(jī)器。然而，這臺機(jī)器可不只是為收集漂移點(diǎn)數(shù)而設(shè)計(jì)的——盡管它的改裝非常偏向于姿態(tài)。它為刷圈而生。

The Audi Ur-Quattro is still owned and driven by B?rje Hansson, a racing veteran who has been involved in motorsport for more than 50 years now. I caught up with B?rje on the Saturday evening of the Mantorp Park event, and he was happy to give me a run down on everything that’s changed since his first Speedhunters spotlight in 2013.

這臺奧迪Ur-Quattro目前由B?rje Hansson擁有和駕駛。他是一位賽車?yán)蠈?，已?jīng)參與賽車運(yùn)動50多年了。我在曼托普公園活動的周六晚上遇見了B?rje，而他很高興地向我介紹了自2013年他首次亮相Speedhunters以來發(fā)生的一切變化。

If you compare the then and now, it’s obvious that the exterior has seen some work. Custom-made over-fenders were fitted in 2015, at the same time B?rje was stepping up to an 18-inch wheel and tire package. On top of this,?a new?wing – 80mm taller than the previous – was added to improve downforce, and a carbon fiber rear diffuser was fitted too.

如果你比較一下這臺車當(dāng)年與現(xiàn)在的樣子，不難發(fā)現(xiàn)它的外觀經(jīng)歷了一些改變。在2015年，這臺車安裝了定制的上擋泥板。與此同時(shí)，B?rje正打算升級到18英寸的車輪和輪胎。在此基礎(chǔ)上，一個(gè)新尾翼——比先前高出80厘米——北被安裝以改善下壓力。他還安裝了碳纖維后擴(kuò)散器。

One year prior to the exterior makeover, B?rje fitted a new 2,180cc engine that revved to almost 9,000rpm and pumped out a solid 650hp. It wasn’t enough though, and in 2015, VS Motor in Norway was called upon to take the Audi five-cylinder engine to the next level. A BorgWarner EFR 8374 turbo was added along with a bigger and more-efficient radiator setup in the rear. All told, the upgrades lifted power output to 780hp, which is where it still sits today.

在外觀改造之前，B?rje安裝了一個(gè)新的2180cc發(fā)動機(jī)，轉(zhuǎn)速接近9000轉(zhuǎn)，以此提供充沛的650馬力。但這還不夠。2015年，挪威的VS Motor被要求將奧迪的五缸發(fā)動機(jī)提升到一個(gè)新的水平。Borgwarner EFR 8374渦輪和一個(gè)更大，更有效的散熱器被安在了車輛后部?，F(xiàn)在，這臺車輸出高達(dá)780hp。

To make the most of the Audi’s newfound power,?B?rje now also shifts through a sequential transmission.

為了充分發(fā)揮奧迪新發(fā)現(xiàn)的動力，B?rje現(xiàn)在也在嘗試順序變速器的轉(zhuǎn)換。

There’s certainly a lot to love about?B?rje’s Quattro, but my?favorite?aspect of the car is its interior. The carbon dashboard, white interior paint and fighter jet-style switches – everything goes so well together. Especially when it’s dark outside and?the bright red lights on the dash illuminate?the cabin.

B?rje的Quattro當(dāng)然有很多值得稱贊的地方，但我最喜歡的是它的內(nèi)飾。碳纖維儀表盤，白色內(nèi)飾和戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)風(fēng)格的開關(guān)——一切都完美地結(jié)合在一起。特別是當(dāng)外面很黑，儀表板上明亮的紅燈照亮整個(gè)座艙的時(shí)候。

Given how stunning this build is, you might think that B?rje goes easy on it, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. He’s an absolute maniac?on track, and the Audi is?blisteringly quick.

考慮到這臺車堪稱藝術(shù)品的構(gòu)架，您可能認(rèn)為B?rje并不敢開著它直接上賽道，但這與事實(shí)相差十萬八千里；他在賽道上是一個(gè)絕對狂人，而Quattro的速度從不會讓人失望。
