Only one car sold in America has 50 years of front-wheel drive. The 1982 Audi.
Audi 5000 Turbo $18,490 suggested retail price. P.O.E. Add transp., local taxes, dealer delivery charges. Photographed at the Orangerie, Fulda, West Germany. 1981 Porsche Audi.
By 1931, Audi was already building front-wheel-drive lightweight automobiles in Germany.
Even then Audi engineers knew that front-wheel drive provided superior directional control, greater space efficiency and weight reduction.
For 1982, front-wheel drive sophistication is built into every new Audi, including two of the 10 best cars for the 80's as selected by Road & Track:
The exciting new Audi Coupe, "The Best Sports Coupe For The 80's." EPA estimated mpg 24, highway mpg 37.*
The luxurious new 5000 Turbo, "The Best Family Sedan For The 80's." EPA estimated mpg 18, highway mpg 26.*
And the new 4000 Diesel, a sports sedan with extraordinary fuel economy. EPA estimated mpg 38, highway mpg 52.*
Today, while front-wheel drive, high-efficiency cars are still an experiment with many manufacturers, they are a refined art at Audi.
