Questions for V8 Owners

["Richard Haroutunian" <Richard_Haroutunian@inso.com>]

V8 Owners:

I must say, the V8 is a truly exceptional car!  It's very good-looking, and
the look is--and will probably always be 'in-style.'

I never gave much though to acquiring one, but last week I noticed a 1993
V8 for sale at a place near my house.. The car is in real good shape--in
fact, I think I would call the car 'mint.'  It's midnight blue (I believe)
and has tan leather-- but it doesn't have sport seats.

Anyway, they're asking quit a bit for the car, but it looks to be worth
it-- and I have questions about the Quattro system in the V8.  I never
really understood the whole 'torsen' thing-- so it would be great of
someone could explain..

Also, there is a 'toggle' switch on the console with 3 options: 'S' 'E' and
'M'

What are these options?  Does it have to due with the diff locks-- or does
it have diff locks at all?

Also, it didn't appear to have the UFO brakes--did the 93's come with
regular disc brakes?

What are the major differences (if any) of the 93 model over the earlier
models?

The 93 is such a great-looking car- does it have the same body as the 200TQ
or the earlier V8s?

Does the 93 have a bigger motor with more hp than the earlier models? what
is the hp in the 93?


TIA for the answers to these questions.  I used to love the V8 back when I
first got into Quarttros, and then I fell in love with the TQ models, but6
tyhis particular car has spartked my interest in the V8 once again!
