Audi 200 C2

1979 – 1982 — GERMANY

The Audi 100 and Audi 200, also known as the Audi 5000 in North America, are mid-size/executive cars produced by the Audi division of the Volkswagen Group. These cars were manufactured over four generations from 1968 to 1997. The first two generations (C1-C2) offered a two-door model, while the last three generations (C2-C4) featured a five-door model. A notable milestone for the Audi 100 was achieved in 1982 with the third generation model, which boasted an impressive low drag coefficient of 0.30, setting a standard with its flush greenhouse sides and unique sliding window mountings. This aerodynamic design element was ahead of its time. In North America, the C2 and C3 models of the Audi 100 were marketed as the Audi 5000 from 1978 to 1988. In South Africa, these models were known as the Audi 500. In 1993, the Audi 100 and Audi 200 underwent a mild restyling and were rebranded as the Audi A6 series as part of a new naming scheme introduced by Audi. This naming change continued until the models were succeeded by the new generation A6, referred to internally as the C5, in 1997.
