Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. Sales are pooled across markets on a relative-price basis, so exchange rates and market levels can't skew the split. Options interact in ways a one-at-a-time split can’t capture — treat each premium as directional rather than gospel.

Marque analyst note

The Ur-quattro has posted a strong year-on-year gain of 25 percent, with the median UK price now standing at £29,500, though this appreciation should be viewed against the small sample size of five sales recorded over the past twelve months. The upward momentum reflects broader collector interest in Audi's pioneering four-wheel-drive platform, though the signal remains a cautious hold rather than a strong buy.

The model's collectibility score of 7 places it in the highly collectible band, supported by its historical significance and relatively modest production run of 11,452 units built across all markets and generations. Its classification as an appreciating classic indicates recognition within the collector market, though moderate desirability suggests it lacks the universal appeal that drives truly explosive price growth.

Transaction data across the broader tracked sample shows ten sales in total, confirming thin liquidity in the current market. Cars trading hands typically carry around 31,852 miles on the odometer, indicating that available stock tends toward the well-used end of the spectrum rather than pampered low-mileage examples.

Base-case projections suggest cumulative gains of 9.5 percent over the next three years and 12.8 percent over five years, pointing to steady if unremarkable appreciation in line with inflation and classic-market drift. These forecasts assume stable collector sentiment around the Ur-quattro's engineering legacy and continued scarcity, though without stronger liquidity or headline price confirmation, upside remains capped.

Prospective buyers should recognize that thin market conditions mean patience will be required to source examples, and pricing negotiation room may exist where sellers face long holding periods. The absence of current active listings underscores how infrequently these cars appear for sale at any given moment.
