A survey by car broker Carwow indicates that German car enthusiasts expressed a strong desire for the return of classic models, with 31.4 percent of respondents selecting the Audi Quattro as their top choice for a revival. Other mentioned models included the Volkswagen Beetle, Mercedes 190, and Opel Manta.

Following this interest, the British company Audacious Automotive unveiled the Model IV, a modern interpretation of the Audi Quattro. This vehicle uses the mechanical foundation of the Audi RS4 B7 and features a 4.2-liter V8 engine. The Model IV will be offered in configurations ranging from 600 to 750 horsepower, with an extreme version capable of reaching 10,000 RPM. Most units will feature a carbon fiber body to reduce weight to approximately 1,200 kilograms. Production is limited to 50 units in Edinburgh, Scotland.
