The 1982 Audi - 50 Years of Front-Wheel-Drive Engineering

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.

*Use "Estimated MPG" for comparison. Mileage and range vary with speed, trip length, weather. Actual mileage will probably be less.
