Vehicle Overview

The first generation was released in 1968 and the nameplate of Audi 100 was assigned due to the engine’s power output of 100 hp. A coupe version was also available and a 2-door saloon were also offered.

The Audi 100 released in 1982 was a mid-size 4-door luxury sedan, with a front engine and available with all-wheel-drive or front-wheel-drive system. The coupe version was discontinued and the Avant was introduced as a station wagon, with an available folding 3rd row.

The Audi 100 used a galvanized steel construction which ensured longevity and rust-resilience. The car featured the Audi’s Procon-Ten safety system, a feature that increased the driver’s protection in case of a front-crash, by pulling the dashboard and the steering wheel up and away from his face.

For 1982, the car was incredibly aerodynamic, with a drag coefficient of only 0.30, being the most aerodynamic car on sale at that time.

The Audi 100 was available with Audi’s Quattro AWD system. The car was available with 8 gasoline engines with a displacement between 1.8-liters to 2.3-liters developing power ranging between 75 to 165 hp.

The best acceleration was achieved by the Audi 100 2.2-liter Quattro, being able to reach 100 km/h in 8 seconds.

The Audi 100 represented a big step forward for the cars produced in the 90’s.
