How many units of the original Audi Quattro coupe were produced? Audi produced 11,452 original Quattro coupes.
The original Quattro was built from 1980 to 1991 and was Audi’s pioneering high-performance all-wheel-drive coupe. Its name referred to the permanent four-wheel-drive system that helped make the car exceptionally effective on loose and slippery surfaces.
Audi initially planned only about 400 examples to satisfy competition-homologation needs. Strong customer demand transformed the project into a much larger production program, although the car remained partly hand-built on a dedicated line. Total production eventually reached 11,452 units.
The number applies to the original two-door Quattro, often called the Ur-quattro, not every later Audi model carrying the quattro name. That distinction explains why estimates such as 10,000, 12,000 or 15,000 can sound plausible but are not the documented production total. The car’s visual design changed relatively little during its 11-year run.
