The Audi-Porsche Genesis
Audi Sport, a name that can not be mentioned without a referral to the Group B (or rather the “Golden”) Era of the World Rally Championship in the 1980’s.

Four years ago, Volkswagen achieved the unthinkable, in a car which is fairly well known on South-African and Namibian roads.
