The 2017 London Classic Car Show opens in two weeks. It will be showcasing 66 of the world's most interesting classic vehicles ranging from a 9.6-liter Maudsley built in 1904 to a Ferrari Enzo which is 100 years older.

The 2017 London Classic Car Show. The annual car show featuring the most unusually interesting classic cars started back in 2000. It is organized by production company Brand Events which is also behind the yearly CarFest.

The theme for this year's car show is 'The Perfect Ten: Saloon, Coupe, Four-Seat Convertible, Sports Car, Supercar, Hatchback, Shooting Brake, Sports Racer, Single-Seater, and Aerodynamic Pioneers'. There is actually an 11th category which is a tribute to Ferrari and will feature six of the best cars from the Italian sports car manufacturer.

One part of the 2017 London Classic Car Show involves the featured cars driving along The Grand Avenue which is at the center of the exhibition hall. The parade's route is perfect as visitors would be able to not only see the vehicles but hear their engines roar as well.

One classic car to be featured at this year's car show is the 1985 Audi Sport Quattro. The 1985 Quattro that will be featured is actually a street-certified version of a successful rally car back in the 80s which changed the world of rallying. It is also the same car that assisted the company's move up the industry. Around 200 Quattros were manufactured at Audi plants in Ingolstadt but only 20 made it to the United Kingdom.

The 1985 Audi Sport Quattro sports a 306bhp five-cylinder 2,134cc turbo engine. Back in its day, the Quattro was an impressively fast vehicle. It was able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 155 miles per hour. It was a more than capable rally car able to deliver amazing stability, outstanding cornering, and excellent traction.
