To celebrate, Audi has a full year of activities planned, including a special exhibition at the Audi Forum Ingolstadt, a place at the Techno Classica in Essen, and Audi Tradition hauling momentous examples of Quattro to shows around Europe.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s interesting to ponder where Audi would have gone without Quattro. In America the tech and halo associations that emanated from the marque&#8217;s Group B rally eating monsters helped it go from being perceived as a maker of really nice VWs to a luxury line with a unique, finessed brawn. We do wonder, though, what the original Quattro would say to a TT&#8230; Follow the jump for Audi&#8217;s press release and a glimpse of where you can find vintage Audis and Auto Unions throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/audi-quattros-30th-anniversary\/low\/\">Audi Quattro&#8217;s 30th Anniversary<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/audi-quattros-30th-anniversary\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/audiquattroanniv_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/audi-quattros-30th-anniversary\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/quattro30hi025_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/audi-quattros-30th-anniversary\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/quattro30hi001_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/audi-quattros-30th-anniversary\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/quattro30hi004_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/audi-quattros-30th-anniversary\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/quattro30hi003_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: Audi]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/14\/audi-quattro-celebrates-30-years-of-gravel-spitting-performance\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Audi Quattro celebrates 30 years of gravel spitting performance<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/14\/audi-quattro-celebrates-30-years-of-gravel-spitting-performance\/\">Audi Quattro celebrates 30 years of gravel spitting performance<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Sun, 14 Feb 2010 19:27:00 EST.
