Oh dont get me wrong, my love of the S1 isnt all about performance - as we know the Integrale and then the "highpoint" cars (the 6R4 and Ford RS200) whipped the Audi, but for me its also about the point in time, the aesthetics and the innovation.  You have to admit two things:

1. The 6R4 isnt a looker

2. The RS200 kicked its ass on performance (RS200 EVO )

Then it all ended when those crazy Group B cars were banned after deaths, etc. Shame really.
