"80tq", as its become known as, started out as Javad Shadzi's personal project car, and has since come to represent the ultimate performance capability of 034Motorsport's off-the-shelf parts.
The car itself is a 1988 Audi 80 Quattro, still with stock body work, fenders and bumpers, and only with a later style B4 hood. The bumpers have been painted to update the look, that's about where the stock parts end.
The goal for the project has always been to develop, test and push the limits of 034Motorsport parts, and has been asked to excel and be pushed in almost every type of motorsport discipline imaginable. To date the car has run an 11.2 @ 135mph, has been prepped for Bonneville for 200+mph class and has logged over 30 track days of hard driving.
Currently 80tq is set up as a "dyno queen", to produce the most power possible from the sum of its parts, then prove the HP at the drag strip, the current 135mph drag run was achieved with a dyno figure of 650whp, the mph and whp figures nicely test that both figures are true and accurate.
As of March 2007 an new high flow cylinder head has been fit, on a basically stock cylinder head we were able to tune 703whp using a GT42RS with 40psi of boost. The new cylinder head with oversize valves and our Stage 5 port job is designed to take 80tq to over 1000whp - all with off-the-shelf parts from 034Motorsport.
Stay tuned for what's next with 80tq as we're not finished with her yet.
