Audi Coupé

The Audi Coupé is a liftback coupé based on the Audi 80, first shown in 1980. Its bodywork was shared with the Audi Quattro, and the main mechanical change from the Quattro was a front-wheel drive layout with naturally aspirated engines, from a 1.9 litre carburettor petrol unit to injected inline five-cylinder engines of 2.0 to 2.3 litres, and some lesser cars with a 1.8 litre four. A second generation arrived in late 1988 on the B3 Audi 80 with different suspension. The Coupé stayed in production until the end of 1996 and spawned the sporting Audi S2. A convertible called simply the Cabriolet arrived in 1991 and remained in production until 2000.
