There was a genuine hatchback version of the Audi 100 (NA - 5000) in Europe.
Actually, I always thought it looked a little like the Aston Martin DBS!

I don't think it was ever produced in quattro form, though.
 
And, BTW, the ur-quattro is _not_ a hatchback - the rear luggage space is a 
bad joke, even without my legendary toolkit.  It's a full (and very spacious) 
four-seater that just happens to have only two doors because of the rear 
suspension geometry. As bizarre as it might sound to those who've only seen or 
heard of the ur-quattro (those rally videos!) it's actually almost a limousine-
like ride in the back.  Loads of leg-room - weird for a sports car.
