Audi introduced the fourth generation 100 model in 1991, based on the newly-revised Volkswagen Group C4 platform.
The new Audi 100 was available in two body configurations - saloon/sedan and estate/wagon - and received a brand new powerplant, the 2.8L V6 delivering 174 hp. The 100 Avant model was also optioned with company’s innovative ‘quattro’ permanent all-wheel-drive system, as well as a ZF 4-speed automatic gearbox. This model changed its designation in 1994 - into Audi A6 - but its design lines remained untouched until its discontinuance in 1997.
