1986 Audi Coupe GT


Relatively few (if any) changes were made to the standard Coupe GT in 1986. However, Audi produced a Commemorative Edition version of the Coupe GT. This special version included such features as a digital dash, and red leather interior. Mike Tipton's '86 Commemorative Edition is pictured above; note the body color spoiler and wheels (those with a sharp eye will realize that Mike's wheels are not the factory 14x6 Ronals, but actual the 15x8 version, which Mike obtained in Germany). 
Base Price:  $15,555
