1972 Audi 100 GL — The Pinnacle of the Sport–Comfort Class.

Sport and comfort come together seamlessly in the Audi 100 GL. With a proven 112 hp engine, it accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 10.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 179 km/h, delivering strong, confident overtaking power across all speed ranges. This performance is matched by front-wheel drive that pulls the car safely through fast, tight corners, remains stable in crosswinds, and provides dependable traction in mud or snow. The optimized weight distribution, with the center of gravity positioned in the front third of the car, ensures secure and predictable handling at all times.
