Carisma are excited to unveil the latest iteration of their officially licensed rally icon: the Audi Sport Quattro S1. Building on the success of the previous GT24 1.0 model, this new 2.0 version introduces significant chassis upgrades and a hugely improved driving feel—delivering greater stability, responsiveness, and control in a compact 1/24-scale package.
“Back in the ’80s, long before the Audi R8 was even conceived, came another true Audi supercar… one that took rallying to a whole new level…”
The body is beautifully reproduced in a lightweight, hobby-grade vacuum-formed shell with crisp detailing and high-quality decals. The paint scheme pays homage to the iconic Audi Quattro factory rally colours that defined Group B competition.
But Before That, A Little Historic Rewind
In 1981, Audi launched its first World Rally Championship offensive with the standard-wheelbase A1 and A2 Quattros, and by 1982 had already secured the WRC Manufacturers’ Championship. The late, great Finnish driver Hannu Mikkola went on to claim the Drivers’ title in 1983 at the wheel of his A2, and in 1984 the brand swept the board—winning both Drivers’ and Manufacturers’ championships, with legendary Swede Stig Blomqvist crowned world champion in an early short-wheelbase Sport Quattro. But they wanted to go further, faster, higher…
Just 214 examples of the full-size Sport Quattro were ever produced, but in collaboration with Audi, Carisma have secured the licensing rights to reproduce the car in larger numbers at a far more accessible price point and scale. Their passion for all things motorsport and rally shines through in this release: the body has been painstakingly recreated in accurate 1/24 scale, and with 8000 kV brushless power, permanent 4WD, 2S LiPo compatibility, and precise 2.4 GHz FHSS radio gear, it’s the perfect gift for any true petrolhead or a must-have for historic rally enthusiasts worldwide.

If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
