Audi is to celebrate 25 years of the quattro at Techno Classica in Essen, Germany from March 26-30.

Audi Tradition – the company's historic branch, will display five production Sport quattros at the show along with the quattro Group B rally car.

The rally car is to be presented in a replica 1980s rally service station at Essen. Each production quattro is to appear in one of the original paint schemes of the period: tornado red, copenhagen blue, malachite green, alpine white and special black.

Audi will also release a limited 333-unit run of 1:43 scale Sport quattro models – the first of which will go on sale at Techno Classica Essen.
