It's easy to think of all-wheel-drive barging into the rally scene and dominating the field immediately. It wasn't so simple, as this video shows.

It's the 1984 Monte and it's how Audi and their 360 horsepower Quattros struggled against the mighty rear-drive 037s. It was a decisive rally, and it reflects greatly on the cars and the conditions.

After watching the whole review, though, you might wonder if it was Walter Röhrl more responsible for the final result than the cars themselves.
