None built to US specifications, as far as I know.  Precious few built
at all.  We discovered one in the UK that we didn't know about only
last week.

More likely an early 5000T.

If you go and look, see what the engine block's made of.  I can't
find enough aluminium blocks in ur-quattros to account for the 
number Audi supposedly made.  A 1981 car merits examination.
