• 
  Audi quattro 20V (1989 - 1991) (Classics Reviews)
  Audi installed the 20-valve five cylinder engine, which had been developed for the range-topping 200, and with it came a boost in power to 220bhp. Buyers lovem them, and quattro GMBH in Germany had no problem selling a car that was supposedly in its twilight years.
• 
  Audi Sport quattro (1984 - 1986) (Classics Reviews)
  The Audi Sport quattro was the road going version of what became known as the rally team's last throw of the dice at championship glory. By 1984, the quattro’s best Group B rallying days were behind it.
• 
  Audi Coupe, 20V and quattro (1989 - 1996) (Classics Reviews)
  It was offered with the same four- and five-cylinder engines as its saloon cousin, so the sporting Audi was predictably quick and efficient. The Audi Coupe still lacked charisma compared with rivals such as the Volkswagen Corrado, but it was developed throughout its life and later versions with their Sport specifiction suspension injected desirability.
• 
  Audi 80, 90 and quattro (1986 - 1991) (Classics Reviews)
  The 1986 Audi 80 and its five-cylinder off-shoot, the 90, were a very big leap forward. They were given premium prices, their interiors were exquisitely made, and their styling and detailing oozed quality. Aerodynamics were the big thing at Audi from the mid-'80s, and it shows in the design of this car.
• 
  Audi 90CD and 90 quattro (1984 - 1987) (Classics Reviews)
  Five-cylinder Audi 80s had actually appeared at the end of 1980 with the arrival of the carburetted CD 5S model. It looked like a miniature Audi 200, and proved to be moderately successful. So when Audi introduced the facelifted 80 for 1984, it made the clever move of renaming the five-pots the new 90, and charging even more of a premium for them.
• 
  Audi 200 and 200 quattro (1983 - 1991) (Classics Reviews)
  Adding a turbocharger to the Audi 100 was always going to produce fine performance. And so it proved: with 182bhp on tap, the first of the C3 generation 200s were capable of well over 140mph, and yet produce realistic fuel consumption.
• 
  Audi 100 and 100 quattro (1982 - 1991) (Classics Reviews)
  But a genuine step forward, leaving the opposition trailing in its wake. Despite its advanced specification, the Audi didn’t quite earn its premium pricing here in the UK. It’s an interesting classic despite anodyne driving experience.
• 
  Audi 80CD and 80 quattro (1981 - 1986) (Classics Reviews)
  The five-cylinder Audi 80CD was launched in 1981, and was designed to take the company's entry-level range further upmarket. It benefited from the fitment of the Audi Coupe's 1921cc 115bhp carburetted power unit, but also received a raft of small visual modifications to set it apart from the vanilla 80s - the most obvious being the prominent chin spoiler that also first appeared on the Coupe.
• 
  Audi 100 Coupe S (1970 - 1976) (Classics Reviews)
  The Audi 100 Coupe S added a much needed shot of glamour into the range during the early 1970s, proving to be a perfect halo product for a manufacturer that was trying hard to establish itself. Shorn of its sensible suit and clothed in an Aston DBS-like coupé bodyshell, the Audi 100 looked very enticing indeed.
• 
  Audi 60, 70 and Super 90 (1965 - 1972) (Classics Reviews)
  The Audi F103-Series (60, 70, 72, 80 and Super 90) is where it all began. The modern Audi phenomenon began has been amazing, especially when one considers that its first saloon (in the modern era) wasn't launched until 1965.
