Audi Typ R Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1927–1929) — First Generation
The first-generation Audi Typ R takes different forms in Cabrio and Estate 5-door guise. If you are considering one today, its mechanical condition and the demands of driving a historic car deserve careful attention.
The Audi Typ R engine in the selected 4.9 MT examples runs on gasoline, with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive in both body styles. You operate the clutch and select gears yourself, so checking clutch engagement and gear selection is a useful part of assessing a particular car.
