Audi introduced its new V8 in 1988, targeting the luxury car segment. Later, in 1990-1992, the Audi also offered a new 4.2L V8 engine, which developed as much as 206 kW of power. Although the Audi V8’s “triumph” came to an end in 1994, it laid the foundation for the later known Audi A8, which is familiar to everyone. The car is based on the Audi V8 sedan, but converted to a station wagon. It is special because former Audi CEO Ferdinand Piech had let built this unique Avant only for his wife. This means that there is only one original Avant version that came straight from the factory, and that car is currently stored in the Audi Neckarsulm.

Audi Coupe (B2) was a two-door coupe manufatured and sold by Audi between 1980 and 1988. It was offered as a cheaper version of the Audi Quattro. This model is an updated Coupe, which was introduced after the German Industrial holidays in the autumn of 1984. The revamped Coupe was given new, slightly sloping radiator grilles and headlights, a large bumper with integrated spotlights and turn signals, plastic windows and a large rear spoiler from the Audi Quattro. A new dashboard was also introduced, which renewed the interior. The GL and standard versions were phased out in 1987, after which the front-wheel drive Coupes were renamed as “Coupe GT”

The Audi 100 (C1) was secretly developed by former Mercedes engineer Ludwig Kraus, who remained with Auto Union when the company was sold to Volkswagen in 1965. Although the new owners (Volkswagen) were initially opposed to the idea of developing new models in Ingolstadt, they gave in to the design prototype. The machine got a name 100, because the cars engine was able to produce just that much horsepower. The Audi 100 sedan used a completely new 1.8L engine with a power range between 80 and 100 horsepower. This power plant was helped by a 4-speed manual transmission. The Audi 100 proved to be a very successful model. 

Audi NSU Ro80 is a four-door sedan produced in 1967-1977. It was one of the more sensational-looking cars ever produced. A car that still looks amazingly modern after five decades. It wasn’t revolutionary just for its looks, the name “Ro” indicated that the engine was a Wankel engine with twin rotors developing 114 horsepower with amazing smoothness. The Ro80’s innovation didn’t end with its engine. The Wankel engine was mated to a semi-automatic transmission. A microswitch attached to the gear level, which acted as a clutch, made it a two-pedal car. Four-wheel disc brakes, power-steering and advanced alloy wheel design – all together it made this a truly exceptional car. In 1968 NSU Ro 80 was the European Car of the Year.

The Audi 80 came out in 1972. The Audi 80 (B1) was only the second Audi of the modern era, developed entirely by Volkswagen. Audi chief engineer Ludwig Kraus had despised the outgoing F103 series and called it a “bastard” because it had an Auto Union/DKW body and a Mercedes-Benz engine. The Audi 80 (B1) was equipped with a new 1.3- and 1.5-litre SOHC four-line petrol engine – the first appearance of the legendary EA827 series engines. The descendants of this engine are still used in Volkswagen Group vehicles today. The direct successor to the Audi 80 today is the Audi A4.
