OK, I've bit the bait, I'll give it try:
160/200 HP Vs 115/136HP stock (US/ROW)
superior brakes
superior suspension
superior lighting (US models)
superior ignition (crank-fired Hall-effect)
superior SS 2 1/2" exhaust
standard leather interior
superior OEM tyres & wheels (15x8" on some ur-Qs)
superior styling (IMFO)
superior exclusivity
5-lug Vs 4-lug hubs & wheels
very handsome flared fenders easily accommodate 225 tyres
kevlar decklid
oil cooler
auxiliary radiator
24.x gal fuel tank
hand-built construction homologation special
superior collectability, rarity and a rich, successful competition
history including too many
championships to list
Ferdinand Piech's personal car for 2+ years (black) (OK, I'm reaching now
:)
This is from someone who owns and *loves* both the ur-Q and the 4000Q,
presently owning
an '85 ur-Q and an '84 & 4000Q, and having owned '85 and 2x '86 4000Qs
and *loved* them all.
Clearly, they both have their benefits, I use the '84 4000Q as my winter
"beater" and SCCA NER
SOLO II HS '93 Championship autocross car, the ur-Q is relegated to
"sunny-day" use only now, though it was my sole transport from '87 'till
93.
I'm sure I missed quite a number of additional unique features of the
ur-Q and I'm also sure I'll be both corrected and flamed. (welcomed,
corrections that is, hold the flames! :)
Vorsprung durch Nof'nhatchback, (I like that!)
