Audi's

It may be the Audi R18 that gets all the glory nowadays, or the venerable ur quattro rally cars that started the legend… but it is the A4 Super Touring that launched Audi’s modern era of models and lit the fuse for the passion of many Audi fanatics today in their 30s and 40s.

The Audi Duo III was introduced in 1997, based on the Audi A4 Avant, and was the only Duo to ever make it into series production. The Duo III used the 1.9-litre (120 cu in)Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine producing 66 kW (90 PS; 89 bhp), which was coupled with a 21 kW (29 PS; 28 bhp) water-cooled electric motor. Both engine and motor powered the front wheels only, unlike the two previous concept Duos. There was a switch inside the cabin for changing between the electric motor and the engine.
