Audi 200 Turbo
Audi's 200 Turbo combined executive sedan refinement with genuine performance courtesy of the turbocharged 2.2-liter inline-five engine. Producing 182 horsepower, the distinctive five-cylinder delivered smooth power and a characteristic warble while propelling the large sedan to 134 mph. The aerodynamic body, sophisticated suspension, and well-appointed interior made it a compelling alternative to BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Though overshadowed by the quattro variants, the front-drive 200 Turbo offered excellent value and remains an underappreciated performance sedan today.
Check for rust in sills and rear arches. Inline-five engine generally robust but requires timing belt maintenance. Turbochargers can wear, watch for smoke or boost issues. Interior trim quality variable. Front-drive examples less valuable than quattro but more affordable entry to Audi turbo ownership.
Part of Audi's C3 platform shared with the 100/5000 series. The 200 was the upscale variant with standard turbocharged five-cylinder. Available with manual or automatic transmission. Quattro all-wheel drive became available in later years.
