Yes they certainly did... the urquattro was in production until
1991.  The last of it were equipped with the 20V turbo motor and
t*rsen diffs.  Some of the European press are still praising
that as the ultimate Q, and lamenting its demise.  The last of
the urQs are said to be dramatically different than the earlier
examples, in better build quality and better driveability.

It's unfortunate that we did not see the 20V urQs on our shores.
