This here makes no sense... I looked into the "V-pages", for the 1984 80/90
quattro. In 84, all were 80s, the 90 wasnt introduced yet. AND! You had both
types 81 and 85 4-door 80 quattros in 1984!?! And all of them are 5-cylinder,
either a 2.0w /115 hp or 2.2 w/130 or 136 hp. Now, note that this is the
Euro-spec cars.

And I agree that the Coupe is a T85, my bad. Also the Audi 90q is T85, 90 FWD
is T81. But the 80q is both T81 and T85. There were no FWD T85 though.

Oh well, I'm probably not supposed to understand this....
