Audi 80 in Context

Within the Audi 80 generations, the second series marked the point where the model gained a more international profile, sold in North America under the 4000 name. The 1984 restyling brought a smoother nose, revised lighting and a modernised interior, alongside the growing availability of quattro all-wheel drive that had first appeared on the coupe-derived Quattro. In context, this update kept the 80 competitive until the wholly new, aerodynamic third generation replaced it later in the decade.

Understanding 2 generation, restyling 1

Understanding this restyling means separating the two Audi 80 body styles it covers. The sedan is the four-door core of the range, while the coupe shares its mechanical layout but wears a distinct two-door body with a fastback tail and its own character. Both span the 1984 to 1986 model years here. Engine and drivetrain choices sit under individual modifications, so brand, model, generation and modification each narrow the picture a step further. In overall Audi 80 dimensions, this period reflects a compact footprint by today's standards.
