I have the 1986 Commemorative Design direct mail advertising package from
Audi.  I also have the Commemorative art print of the 1986 5000CS.

According to the literature the The Commemorative Design 4000CS features 
included:
Aero alloy wheels, Alcantara suede-like upholstery with leather 
bolstering in Sierra Beige, plus Sierra Beige leatherette door panel 
inserts, AM/FM cassette radio, Choice of std or auto shift, Front sports 
seats, Graphite instrument panel, carpeting and trim, leather wrapped 
steering wheel, plush logo-embroidered carpet floor mats, Tilt/Slide 
sunroof.

The 4000CS Quattro Commemorative design had:

Color-keyed spoked alloy wheels with Alpine White exterior (natural metal 
finish (???!, that's what it says) with extra cost Graphite exterior), 
Instrument panel, carpeting and trim in Graphite, Plush logo-embroidered 
carpet floor mats Red leather upholstery and red leatherette door panel 
inserts, and tilt/slide sunroof.

I remember that the designation 'CS' was used for the Commemorative trim.

Just appointments, nothing mechanical is special for the Commemoratives.

I also have Commemorative appointments on the 5000CS and Coupe GT if 
anyone is interested.
