Then someone else asked...

>Is the V8 longer than the '91 100/200?

Then Tom Nas, who was probably the only person in Holland not at the Keukenhof
this weekend, wrote...

Audi 100 1991: 4.792 m
Audi V8  1991: 4.874 m

(European versions)

But the euro 91 100 is the new body style (C4).

The US 91's are type 44, dunno about the euro 91 V8.
100/non 20v 200:  4.894 m
the 20v 200:  a whopping 4.913

The bumpers on the 20v stick out about 15 mm more to make room for the gazillion
cooling devices up front, somewhere along the line the hoods changed style, too.
Compared to non 20v type 44's: wheelbase 9 mm longer, track 38 mm wider, ground
clearance 30 mm less.

Longer, lower, wider:  it  would be even bigger with a few 18" springs up front
