👋 Introduction
Market Position
Positioning:
The Audi B2 Quattro represented Audi's foray into premium compact executive sedans and coupes, emphasizing sporty handling, advanced technology (Quattro AWD), and a refined driving experience. It was positioned against rivals like the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz 190E.
Competitive Analysis
Competition:
Competed with established players in the segment, offering the unique advantage of standard or widely available Quattro all-wheel-drive, which was a significant differentiator for traction and performance, especially in adverse weather conditions.
Key Features
Quattro AWD:
The permanent all-wheel-drive system with its viscous coupling and locking center differential was the hallmark feature, providing superior grip and stability. This manual's focus on the Quattro system is crucial.
Engine Technology:
Audi's longitudinally mounted inline 5-cylinder engines offered a distinctive character, smooth power delivery, and were known for their durability. Fuel injection systems like CIS-K/KE Jetronic required precise servicing.
Design And Aerodynamics:
The B2 featured a boxy, aerodynamic design influenced by the 'wind tunnel' design language of the era, offering a relatively low drag coefficient for its time.
