The Audi Coupe GT was a 2-door sports car produced and sold by Audi from 1981 to 1988. The car was an attempt by Audi to offer a more affordable version of its turbocharged, all-wheel drive Quattro. The Coupe GT featured a similar body shape to the Quattro, but without the knife-edged fender flares of the more expensive car. Mechanically, the biggest changes from the Quattro to the GT were the use of a naturally aspirated 1.9 litre carburetter engine, 2.0 litre or 2.2 litre injected 5-cylinder engine and a front-wheel drive drivetrain. Although later Coupe GT's were fitted with a 1.8 litre injected 4-cylinder engine.
From late 1984, Audi made available the option of the quattro All Wheel Drive system to produce the Audi coupe quattro, a model which was rarer than the Turbocharged Quattro model. This was only produced with the 2.2 litre engine.
