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 Audi Quattro Ur has moved to a US$66,883 median, up 25 percent over the past twelve months, though this signal rests on a narrow transaction base of only two recorded sales. The "Hold" signal reflects solid appreciation against an appreciating-classic classification, but the thinness of the data warrants cautious interpretation of short-term momentum.

With just two sales tracked in the past year and zero active listings in the current market, the Quattro Ur remains deeply illiquid. This scarcity limits price discovery and means buyers and sellers should expect extended search periods and wide bid-ask spreads when transactions do occur.

Production of 11,452 units establishes the Quattro Ur as a meaningful-volume classic rather than a rare model, yet it carries a collectibility score of 7 and is classified as highly collectible. The combination of historical significance as Audi's pioneering all-wheel-drive road car and moderate current desirability sustains its standing in the appreciating-classic tier.

The three-year base projection stands at US$113,241, implying 69 percent appreciation from the current median. Over five years, the model is projected to reach US$135,087—a doubling of value—reflecting the long arc of recognition and scarcity value that typically accrues to early Quattro examples as the model ages.

Current conditions favor holders over active traders; the illiquid market and extended appreciation runway suggest patience will reward owners who are not forced sellers. Prospective buyers should be prepared for protracted acquisition periods but may find the risk-reward profile attractive given the projected trajectory and the model's foundational status in automotive history.
