My understanding of this is that only the 1987.5 Coupe GT's (January 87-on)
received the 130HP 2.3L 5-cyl engine, which I believe was standard on the
1988 Audi 90's.  The window sticker indicated "Special Build" (mine's a July
87 car) but doesn't indicate specific details of the Special Build package.
Further down the sticker it lists several features that contradict the 1987
Audi sales brochure, so I presume that the contradictory items comprise the
Special Build package.  From my hazy memory, these were:

			   Audi Coupe GT	   Audi Coupe GT
			1987 Regular Build	1987 Special Build

Engine Displacement	   2.2 (2.22?) L	       2.3 L
Engine HP		      110 HP                  130 HP
Engine Torque		    ~115 lb-ft?		    ~136 lb-ft
Rear Brakes		       Drum		       Disk
Digital Dashboard	     Optional		     Standard
Rear Spoiler		       Black		   Body-colored
Side Mirror Housings	       Black		   Body-colored
Side Window Surrounds	       Black		   Body-colored
Door Handle Inserts           Chrome?		       Black

That's all I can think of right now.  I did notice that my interior cloth
(a dark charcoal velour) is much darker than the medium gray cloth that's
shown in the sales brochure, so there are probably other things that dif-
ferentiate the late-87 GT's from the earlier models.  If anyone's interested
I'll take a closer look at the sticker and spec sheets.  I also don't know
if the "Special Build" package was offered on the 4000's or not.

PS- Coincidentally, my car is for sale so if anyone wants to buy the car
    to do a detailed analysis of the features..... (hint, hint!)    ;-)
