The Audi B3, produced from 1986 to 1991, marked a significant shift in the German automaker's design philosophy, moving away from the boxy and angular lines of its predecessors to a more aerodynamic and streamlined aesthetic. The B3, which encompassed models like the 80, 90, and Coupe, was built upon a new platform known as the "Typ 89" chassis. This platform introduced several innovations, including a fully galvanized body, underpinning its reputation for durability and longevity. The B3 was offered with a range of petrol and diesel engines, all boasting advancements in efficiency and performance. While the base models featured naturally aspirated four-cylinder units, the higher trims boasted powerful turbocharged variants. The B3 was also one of the first Audis to feature a front-wheel-drive layout, although some models, like the 90 quattro, retained the famed Audi quattro all-wheel-drive system.

Despite its revolutionary styling and advanced technology, the B3 era was not without its challenges. The switch to front-wheel drive for most models met with mixed reception among enthusiasts, particularly those accustomed to the handling of the classic rear-wheel-drive Audis. Additionally, early B3s faced criticism for their interior build quality, which some viewed as lacking the premium feel expected from Audi. However, the B3 proved to be a commercially successful model, solidifying Audi's position as a leading manufacturer of premium automobiles. Its enduring appeal lies in its timeless design, robust construction, and the availability of both economical and powerful engine options, making it a desirable choice for classic car enthusiasts and discerning drivers alike.
