No, but you could consider a VW camper. You would need to flip the 
differential (not sure if its possible in the Audi box, but most Porsche 
trannys I deal with are) so you dont have 5 speeds of reverse. You could 
consider a Syncro bus, but they are somewhat rare and the driveline is 
fragile. The 5cyl motor is known to fit in the van, there was a 5cyl factory 
van made for a short time even. The space is there, the coolness is there, 
and hey it would be practical too (have enough torque + quattro = go camping 
in very remote places!).
