Audi Coupe
The Audi Coupe was the two-door coupe version of the Audi 4000. It is the base on which Audi built the famous Audi Quattro rally car. The 1987 model year was the last of the 4000s before the 80/90 series took over.
The 4000 was introduced initially in the U.S. as a 1980 model to replace the aging Audi Fox. The initial offering was a 1.6L 4-cylinder with 4-speed manual transmission, both in two and four door versions. A two-door, 5-cylinder model was later offered, with a 5-speed (Designated as the 4000 5+5).
In 1981 the displacement of the 4-cylinder was increased to 1.7L, and a 5-speed maunal transmission was made standard. The 5-speed models often carry the 4+E badge that signifies 4 normal speeds plus an economy gear. This was a wide ratio 5-speed box. A 5-cylinder model with automatic transmission was also added. The Audi Coupe was also introduced in 1981 with a 5-cylinder engine.
