There were several different engine types which included the fuel-injected \"E\" (Einspritz), carburettor \"S\", and diesel \"TD\" or \"TDI\".
In North America, the 80 was sold briefly as the Audi Fox and then as the Audi 4000.
The Audi 90 was an upmarket version of the Audi 80 sedan.
F103 Audi 80 (1966–69)
The Audi F103 series, based on the DKW F102 and sold between 1965 and 1972, were named for their horsepower ratings. From 1966 to 1969 the series included an Audi 80.
B1 (1972–78)
This model debuted in Europe in 1973 as the 80 and in 1973 in the United States as the Fox, and was available as either a 2-door or a 4-door sedan. It effectively took the place of several models that Audi had discontinued (the F103 series, which included the first \"Audi 80\"), and provided the company with a viable rival to the Opel Ascona and the Ford Taunus.
The Audi 80 was first equipped with a SOHC I4 engine rated at 60 hp. It had a MacPherson strut front suspension and a dead rear axle supported by coil springs, trailing arms and a Panhard rod.1 The Fox had a 1.5 L engine rated at 75 hp attached to a 4-speed manual transmission.2
In certain markets, most notably the United Kingdom a 5-door station-wagon (estate) variant was offered, effectively a rebadged Volkswagen Passat with Audi front panels.. The B1 platform was dropped from the European market in 1978, although it was sold into the 1979 model year in North America.
B2 (1979–86)
Audi redesigned the 80 on the B2 (Type 81) platform in 1978 (as a 1979 model) in Europe and in 1979 (as a 1980 model) in North America. Audi continued to use the 80 nameplate in Europe, but began badging it as the 4000/4000S in North America. The body of the B2 Audi 80 was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Although it was usually ordered as a four-door sedan, a smaller number of two-door 80s were produced. No wagon variant was available, the VW Passat filling that role.
In Europe, the 80 was the standard model, while later on the Audi 90 was launched as a larger-engined version of the 80, with more options and, aside from the 75-hp, four-cylinder turbo diesel engine which was also available for the 80, two five-cylinder in-line petrol engines — a 115-hp 2.0 and the 136-hp 2.2, which was later modified into a 2.3.
The B2 platform proved to be both quite versatile and quite profitable; many components were shared to or borrowed from the Quattro and Sport Quattro, which in the process helped to cement the company into the public eye after their four wheel drive quattro system proved useful in various forms of racing.
