⚙️ Engine Specifications

Common Engine Options 1989 1991:

2.0L (1984cc) I5 (Naturally Aspirated and Turbocharged), 2.3L (2309cc) I5 (Naturally Aspirated and Turbocharged), 2.5L (2461cc) V6 (Naturally Aspirated), 2.6L (2600cc) I5 (Naturally Aspirated - likely for later models/specific markets), 4.2L (4172cc) V8 (Audi V8 - some C4 platform elements shared)

Horsepower Torque Variations:

Horsepower and torque figures varied significantly across engine options and turbocharging, ranging from approximately 100 hp to over 200 hp for naturally aspirated and 200+ hp for turbocharged variants.

Fuel Delivery:

Fuel injection (e.g., Bosch KE-Jetronic, Motronic) depending on engine and year.

🔧 Transmission

Manual Transmission:

Likely 5-speed manual transmission for most models.

Automatic Transmission:

Optional automatic transmission (e.g., 4-speed automatic).

Drivetrain:

Front-wheel drive (FWD) standard, with optional Quattro all-wheel drive (AWD) system.

📐 Dimensions

Body Styles:

Sedan (Limousine), Avant (Station Wagon).

Aerodynamics:

Known for aerodynamic styling, particularly the C3 generation's 'wind-cheating' design.

Curb Weight Range:

Varies significantly by model, engine, and drivetrain, typically ranging from 1300 kg to 1700+ kg.

🛡️ Safety Features

Crash Test Data:

Specific crash test data for these model years may be limited or vary by region. General safety features were standard for the era.

ABS:

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) available as an option or standard on certain trims/models.

Airbags:

Driver-side airbag became more common during this period, potentially optional or standard on higher trims, especially in later years.

Seatbelts:
