This model was the first Audi to feature a longitudinally-mounted V8 engine, designed by Porsche, and was initially offered in a single 3.6-liter variant delivering 250 horsepower. This engine, paired with Audi's renowned Quattro all-wheel-drive system, allowed the V8 Quattro to achieve impressive acceleration and handling characteristics, setting a new benchmark for luxury and performance in the segment. The V8 Quattro was also lauded for its spacious and luxurious interior, featuring opulent leather upholstery, premium sound systems, and advanced comfort features.

The V8 Quattro's design was also a masterpiece, blending elegant lines with a sporty yet refined stance. Its low-slung profile, powerful front grille, and distinctive taillights made it a visually striking car that commanded attention wherever it went. While not a massive commercial success, the Audi V8 Quattro's influence on the automotive landscape was undeniable. It paved the way for future Audi models to adopt similar design cues and technical innovations, establishing the brand's reputation for building powerful and sophisticated luxury vehicles.
