CARISMA M48S AUDI SPORT QUATTRO S1 1985 NIGHT EDITION
Carisma RC proudly introduces the M48S Audi Sport Quattro S1 1985 Night Rally Edition, a stunning tribute to one of the most iconic rally cars ever created. Built on the proven M48S 1/8-scale platform, this special edition combines authentic scale realism, modern RC performance, and a spectacular rally lighting package to recreate the excitement of Group B competition after dark.
The Night Rally Edition captures the unmistakable presence of the legendary Audi Sport Quattro S1, complete with its aggressive wide-body styling, oversized rear wing, period-correct 5-spoke wheels and distinctive six-lamp rally lighting array. Officially licensed by Audi and Hella, the model delivers an unprecedented level of authenticity for collectors, enthusiasts and drivers alike.
At the heart of this release is an all-new six-headlamp LED system inspired by the famous Hella Rallye 3000 auxiliary lamps that became synonymous with the golden era of rallying. Controlled directly from the included CTX-8000 transmitter, the lighting system allows drivers to remotely switch the lamps on or off, creating an immersive night-driving experience that brings the spirit of historic rally stages to life.
Beneath the beautifully detailed bodywork lies the proven M48S chassis, featuring a powerful brushless power system, all-metal drivetrain components, adjustable suspension geometry, and a 3S-capable electronic speed controller. Whether carving through technical sections, drifting through sweeping corners, or lighting up the darkness on a night run the Audi Sport Quattro S1 Night Rally Edition combines scale realism with serious performance.
The Legend Behind the Car.
The Audi Sport Quattro S1 remains one of the most influential rally cars in motorsport history. Introduced during the legendary Group B era of the mid-1980s, the Quattro revolutionized rally competition by demonstrating the advantages of permanent four-wheel drive on loose and unpredictable surfaces.
With its aggressive aerodynamic package, shortened wheelbase, turbocharged powerplant, and unmistakable wide-body stance, the Sport Quattro S1 became an icon of rallying. The sight of an Audi charging through mountain stages at night, illuminated by a bank of auxiliary Hella rally lamps, became one of the defining images of the Group B era.
Today, the Audi Sport Quattro S1 is celebrated as one of the most recognizable and desirable rally cars ever built, representing a golden age of innovation, speed and driver bravery. The M48S Night Rally Edition faithfully captures that spirit for a new generation of RC enthusiasts.
