Quattro GmbH designed this model as a sports focused executive car which boasts high performance and top-of the range specifications. The first and second generations provided an option of either a five-door estate or a four-door sedan vehicle. When the third generation was produced, only an estate version was available. Using the traditional front mounted engine and Quattro 4WD system these models did offer a ZF Tiptronic transmission which enhanced its sporty feel.
