K2-K6
Always liked those and how they looked.
They are the fore runner of all the modern Audi saloons too, with 80, 90, 100, 200 A4, 6 8 etc all of the same mechanical principle. That being front driven wheels with differential in bell housing, engine entirely in front of axle centre. The basis also of their Quattro lineage that adds rear drive to same front layout.
K2 minor recently bought a S8, with entirely aluminium construction, V8 with 5 valve per cylinder heads etc. Amazing design and build quality.[/quote]
http://www.bresciacar.it/scheda_EN_172-audi-80-gt-(tipo-b1).htmlThe Audi 80 was a great car, I briefly ran an Audi 80 GT demonstartor (Mustard colour). I was living in Alrewas going to work one Sunday morning, it was during the fuel crisis so a 50 mph limit on the A38 dual carriageway. I was doing a steady 70 mph when I spotted a Police Car on the slip road, the A38 is quite undulating on this section so every time the Police car was out of sight in a hollow I floored it, then back to 50 mph when it appeared in my rear view mirror. He eventually caught me up as I exited the dual carriageway onto Derby Road. I thought I was okay until the blue light came on & he pulled me up opposite the old Pirelli Factory. He was in an Austin 1800S, after a brief conversation about my use of the rear view mirror he wanted me to open the bonnet as he could not belive I was able to pull away from him so far when he was in the dips on the road.
He then took me to the Austin 1800S where there was a VASCAR display above the dashboard, I was given a verbal warning to respect the 50 mph limit.
