【Speedhunters译起看车】进化！奥迪Quattro计时赛猛兽

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”，你大几率会刷到一堆四驱怪兽在瑞典和挪威漂流的视频。今年6月，在Gatebil Mantorp，我就发现了这样一台四驱烧胎机器。然而，这台机器可不只是为收集漂移点数而设计的——尽管它的改装非常偏向于姿态。它为刷圈而生。

The Audi Ur-Quattro is still owned and driven by Börje Hansson, a racing veteran who has been involved in motorsport for more than 50 years now. I caught up with Börje 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.

这台奥迪Ur-Quattro目前由Börje Hansson拥有和驾驶。他是一位赛车老将，已经参与赛车运动50多年了。我在曼托普公园活动的周六晚上遇见了Börje，而他很高兴地向我介绍了自2013年他首次亮相Speedhunters以来发生的一切变化。

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 Börje 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.

如果你比较一下这台车当年与现在的样子，不难发现它的外观经历了一些改变。在2015年，这台车安装了定制的上挡泥板。与此同时，Börje正打算升级到18英寸的车轮和轮胎。在此基础上，一个新尾翼——比先前高出80厘米——北被安装以改善下压力。他还安装了碳纤维后扩散器。

One year prior to the exterior makeover, Börje 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.

在外观改造之前，Börje安装了一个新的2180cc发动机，转速接近9000转，以此提供充沛的650马力。但这还不够。2015年，挪威的VS Motor被要求将奥迪的五缸发动机提升到一个新的水平。Borgwarner EFR 8374涡轮和一个更大，更有效的散热器被安在了车辆后部。现在，这台车输出高达780hp。

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

为了充分发挥奥迪新发现的动力，Börje现在也在尝试顺序变速器的转换。

There’s certainly a lot to love about Börje’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.

Börje的Quattro当然有很多值得称赞的地方，但我最喜欢的是它的内饰。碳纤维仪表盘，白色内饰和战斗机风格的开关——一切都完美地结合在一起。特别是当外面很黑，仪表板上明亮的红灯照亮整个座舱的时候。

Given how stunning this build is, you might think that Börje 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.

考虑到这台车堪称艺术品的构架，您可能认为Börje并不敢开着它直接上赛道，但这与事实相差十万八千里；他在赛道上是一个绝对狂人，而Quattro的速度从不会让人失望。
