A cabrio built by Audi, not Quattro, so did Walter Treser. With klapdak. Disastrous for the proportions, but it is.

Of all the years ’80 tuners is Treser was one of the best. Not only they came up with outlandish bodykits and fine rims, they also built the occasional special specials. So there was the Treser Liner, an Audi 200 made by Treser was transformed into the Avant, with looks which are very different from Audi’s own Avant. They also built on the basis of the Audi 80 B2 and B3 the Hunter, with all-wheel drive, bullbar, big wielkastverbreders and substantial ground clearance. Ssv avant la lettre.

But perhaps the most special creation of all was the Treser Quattro Roadster, which in 1983 made his debut at the IAA in Frankfurt. On the basis of the proportions you might expect the engine to the rear is moved, but nothing is less true. The back is so big to the roof of the Quattro Roadster to accommodate.

Unlike the Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner of 1957 and the Playboy Convertible from 1947, was the way to collapse the roof of the Quattro Roadster from a whole. This came obliquely behind the driver and passenger to lie on the place where in the original a back seat. Further provided Treser Quattro Roadster extra verstevigingsbalken to as the stiffness to retain.

How many Quattro’s Treser has actually converted is not known, but already after two years after its introduction, was the counter on 40 cars. Some Tresers were actually by other tuners, once again taken in hand. Many Quattro Roadsters went to the Middle East, where @repiv also this azure instance sneered. As so often in that area, exclusive cars and sometimes on the street left and looks there is no dog more to. This rare Audi is, in spite of the sand and missing headlight, still very pretty. Save that trade and then looking for a set of original Treser wheels to make it complete!
