Back in July, I took a look at a pair of Audi 4000Ss, the easy-to-forget lightweight brother of the 4000 quattro and Coupe GT:
The S package actually rolled out the year before with the pre-facelift model, though, and Audi steadily increased the appeal with the Type 81 four-door with the GTI-sourced 1.8L engine, a close-ratio 5-speed, alloy wheels, and a chin spoiler. Although these cars didn’t have the visual appeal of the GT, the rally-inspired drivetrain of the quattro, or the thrum of the 5-pot, they were nonetheless attractive cars that were fun and economical – and it helped that they were also several grand cheaper than their more illustrious counterparts. Today’s example is probably one of the nicer ones left:

I’m not sure where the seller is getting “Custom” from, as there was no trim like that for ’84. There was a more desirable Limited Edition model, which was (in essence) a complete clone of the quattro without quattro – black trim, sport seats, 14″ Ronal wheels, and a rear spoiler. This isn’t one, and they’re quite hard to find. Still, it’s a nice example that appears to be largely original. At $9,500, though, it’s a strong ask – you’re into nice Coupe GT money at that point. But it’s neat to see one of these still floating around and in good condition, to boot!

had this exact car in college… only difference is mine had grey interior… probably not the right car to have on campus but i beat the hell out of it and it never left me stranded… traded it for a new 89 CRX si… would like to have both cars back if we’re being honest.
