The Audi 5000 was first introduced in 1978 and quickly gained popularity for its combination of style, performance, and luxury. It featured a 2.1-liter inline five-cylinder engine that delivered up to 102 horsepower, and a four speed manual transmission with an optional three-speed automatic available. The interior was luxurious, featuring electric windows and mirrors, air conditioning and a fully adjustable steering wheel. In addition, the 5000 was fitted with ABS brakes and power-assisted steering.
The Audi 5000 saw strong sales over its life-span, particularly in the U.S., where it was marketed as a premium sedan that offered something different from traditional domestic models. It had a reputation for being reliable and well-made, with a comfortable ride and excellent handling. The 5000 remained in production until it was replaced by the Audi 100 in 1990. Although the Audi 5000 has long been discontinued, many of these vehicles still remain on the roads today as testament to their solid engineering.
The Audi 5000 continues to have a strong following, with many enthusiasts still appreciating its performance, quality construction, and luxurious features. Read more
