StarLight Garage will this time not suggest a insane powerful, rally, one-off, prototype or whatever may be, but a classic car, the Audi 100 Coupé S. A gorgeous coupe from Audi.
The Audi 100 was a executive car manufactured for model years 1968–1994 by Audi, a division of the Volkswagen Group.
In March 1971 the 500,000th Audi was produced. By now the Audi 100 had become the most commercially successful model in the company's history, so it is unsurprising that the car in question was an Audi 100 produced at the Ingolstadt plant.
In September 1973 the 100 received a minor facelift with a somewhat smaller grille and reshuffled taillight lens patterns. The rear torsion bar was replaced by coil springs.
For model year 1975 the base 100 was re-christened the 100 L and received a 1.6 litre four-cylinder engine (coming out of the Audi 80).
A four-wheel drive prototype of the Audi 100 C1 was built in 1976, long before the appearance of the quattro. The Coupé was never sold in the United States.
