The 1990-94 Audi V8 is based on the type 44 chassis which is also used
for the 100/200/5000 models from model year 1984 to 1991.  Note that
"V8" *is* the model name.  It's not a "200 V8" or somesuch.  The V8's
engine is obviously unique to that model, but the chassis has also been
strengthened over the standard type 44, and received a number of styling
changes compared to the other type 44 cars too (different grille,
headlight, bumpers, taillights, fenders, trims, etc).
