1985 audi cuope GT 5 speed

In the early 1980s. in a world long before the Subaru WRX and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo became relatively commonplace. performance cars were cartoon characters--two-dimensional caricatures of two broad types. On the one hand were muscle cars. which even in their more contemporary form were uncomfortable and hopelessly out of their depth when the road began to curve. On the other hand were sports cars and exotics. which had varying degrees of power. were fun on twisty roads. but were even less comfortable and usable than muscle cars. Neither type was consistently useful on real-world roads. where rain. snow. and other slick surfaces--to say nothing of the harsh demands of passengers and cargo--made both muscle cars and sports cars nearly useless.

 Enter the original Audi Quattro (called the Ur-Quattro by today's enthusiasts to differentiate it from later Audi Quattros). The Ur-Quattro was a truly revolutionary car that could not only keep pace with the big boys on dry pavement. but forge ahead like a mountain goat once the roads turned treacherous. The combination of all-wheel-drive and turbocharging might be commonplace now. but it was big news at the time--and Audi's polished package proved a revelation. The Ur-Quattro was a completely revolutionary car that kicked off the modern era of more competent. better-engineered performance.

The Coupe GT is this year's secret car. folks. The masses don't know about it. . Driving this car is a rare treat. . When we leaf through the logbook we kept on this car. we're almost embarrassed. Supposedly hardened road testers bubble like wide-eyed kids: 'This must be the most expensive car here. It feels like money. ' 'The engine sings. ' 'Every control movement seems calibrated to my body and brain.

 What the Audi owns is a kind of stellar all-around ability that goes beyond simple performance testing and numbers crunching. It can do it all. . The Coupe's suspension is so absorbent in city driving that you're sure it will fall all over itself when you dive-bomb a back road--but it doesn't. In fact. it excels. soaking up the bumps and never losing its composure. Subjectively speaking. it has the best all-around suspension of the group. . The steering is equally impressive . it's dead-nuts accurate and full of road feel. . The (engine) is also a delight. The soothing hum it sends out is pure honey. from idle to redline. It's surprisingly torquey. and right-now responsive. so you don't need to do a lot of shifting if you don't want to. . The Coupe GT's driving environment is first-class as well. The cabin is simply and tastefully trimmed.
