Year-to-year changes
1991
The full-size luxury sedan, called the Audi V8, was Audi's first car to combine a Quattro system with an automatic transmission. The car started off with a 3.6-liter 8-cylinder engine and 240 horsepower.
1992
The V8 was upgraded to now contain a 4.2-liter engine, 276 horsepower, and 4-speed automatic transmission, replacing the old 5-speed manual transmission from 1991. The car later became a carryover model for 1993.
1994
After production ended in November 1993, sales of the Audi V8 continued through this year.
1997
With no 1995 or 1996 models ever made in the United States, the Audi A8 debuted as a 1997 model, replacing the Audi V8. Yet again, it was sold as either a base or Quattro 4-door sedan.
