Developed initially as an entry-level product for the Audi brand, Volkswagen also moved to produce their own version as the Polo, and as a notchback coupe called Derby.
The facelifted Audi 100 Coupé S represents the final evolution of Audi’s early grand touring coupe, introduced alongside the broader 1974 update to the Audi 100 range.
The Audi 80 (B1) four-door sedan, produced from 1972 to 1976, marked Audi’s entry into the modern compact-sedan segment and laid the foundation for what would become the brand’s long-running B-series.
First shown at the 1969 Frankfurt Motor Show and entering production the following year, the Coupé S transformed the rational Audi 100 sedan into something far more expressive.
