About Audi 5000 Quattro
Introduced as a 1982 model, the C3 was the third generation of Audi's executive-sized 100. It was also sold more premium 200 and badged as the 5000 in North America through 1988. The Audi 5000 tends to get swept under the rug as far as Audi history goes, at least in the U.S.
Regarding Audi 5000 Quattro, introduced on European models in 1985 and U.S. models in 1986, it should be noted that Audi was among the first any manufacturer to offer full-time all-wheel drive in a production sedan. It was also the first among premium brands to offer all-wheel drive in its midsize sedan. And it preceded the all-wheel drive craze in luxury sedans by nearly three decades. In the C3, 5000 Quattro sent 50 percent of torque to the transaxle via an intelligent torque-sensing differential but could send up to 75 percent of torque to the transaxle with the most traction.
