Default Aren't the Coupe Quattro and the 90 Coupe the same car?

Doesn't make sense to have two forums for 1735 cars. Does it?

Default No. Actually...

there were non turbo audi quattro coupe's in the early 80's. They are fairly rare. So basically they are technically Coupe Quattros...

Default Yea, I would make this forum for the UrQ (Turbo Quattro Coupe) and the Sport Quattro

And since there were only 400 Sport Qs made, chances of any of them posting here is slim to none.

Well Doug, they actually aren't, but I mainly have you on a technicality. Perhaps we should have been more specific with our naming, but we wanted to be clear for those who may not know the older cars that well.

As most know here, the Ur-Quattro is the Turbo Quattro Coupe or technically a Coupe Quattro and not the same thing as your 90, also called a Coupe quattro I guess. The key difference in my mind there is the capital Q, which only gets designated with a capital letter on that particular model and not on cars like your 90 Coupe quattro. Perhaps we should rename it the Turbo Quattro Coupe to clear things up and to be more accurate.

As for small numbers, that was discussed, but it is our feeling that the TQC, in all of its forms, is an icon in the Audi realm. It is the car that put what can be understood as the modern day Audi brand on the map. Small numbers? Yes, but consider it paying respect where respect is due.
