About the Audi 100 C4
The C4-generation Audi 100 represented a significant leap forward in build quality and refinement, bridging the gap between the utilitarian C3 and the premium A6 that would follow. Known for its exceptional drag coefficient and fully galvanised body, it offered a level of corrosion resistance and longevity that surpassed many of its contemporaries. The 2.0 E trim served as the entry-level fuel-injected model, providing a balanced, if not rapid, driving experience focused on comfort and stability. Today, it is appreciated by collectors for its understated design and the 'Procon-ten' safety system, a unique cable-based alternative to early airbags.
