Audi 100 Quattro Parts

The popular US version of the Audi 100 Quattro is based on the 4 door C-1 platform of Audi's ‘big' coupe, beginning in 1968. The first four wheel drive version was tested in 1976, but it pre-dated the Quattro by years. By 1982, a third generation 100 was built, including a wagon called the Avant, and the engine lineup included turbo charged 5 cylinders.

In 1986, with bad publicity surrounding sudden acceleration of the 5000 series cars, Audi's popularity tanked, sales dropped to 16% or less for three years. Audi dedicated itself to protecting the reputation of its cars, which included new engineering, new Audi 100 parts and initiating a racing program in Trans Am with the 100 sedan and the Quattro system, fielding a team of highly modified 4 door sedans which ultimately dominated the series. The Quattro system was controversial but bulletproof and offered superb handling. By 1989, with the introduction of the Audi 100 Quattro cars, people were happy to sit on waiting lists to get theirs.

The C4 platform Audi 100 was in essence a heavily revised C3. It was introduced in 1991 with a new 2.8 liter SOHC V6, later joined by a 2.6 variant. The option of Quattro permanent four-wheel drive was an option, as was the ZF four-speed automatic gearbox. There was a V8 version, but it did not carry the 100 nameplate, instead wearing its own badge.

In 1995, along with some styling revisions and upgrades to the Audi 100 parts, Audi renamed this car the A6, centerpiece of its new mid-size line. The Audi 100 S4 became the S6, as the S6 name was then reserved for the high performance S4. The Audi V8 became the A8 in 1995.
