What is audi.5000?

The Audi 5000 was a mid-size luxury car manufactured by Audi from 1977 to 1988. It was sold in North America as the Audi 5000, and in Europe as the Audi 100. The car was introduced to the North American market in 1978, and was the first Audi model to be sold in the US.

The first generation Audi 5000 was powered by a 2.1-liter inline-five engine, and was available with a four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. The second generation (1984-1988) had a larger 2.2-liter inline-five engine, and was available with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.

The Audi 5000 was known for its advanced features, such as all-wheel drive, anti-lock brakes, and computerized engine management. However, the car was also infamous for a series of unintended acceleration incidents in the 1980s, which were later found to be caused by driver error and not a mechanical defect of the car.

Overall, the Audi 5000 was a popular luxury car in the 1980s, known for its performance, comfort, and safety features, and helped establish Audi as a premium brand in the US market.
