It is a full-size luxury sedan after all, decked out with lots of standard features and the unsurpassed quattro all-wheel drive technology, so naturally the 1992 Audi V8 was a tad on the heavy side. In its first four years on the road, the 3.6-liter V8 engine, though fast enough, always seemed a bit underpowered for the V8's size. In 1992, the Audi V8 got a new engine for stronger performance. The 4.2-liter DOHC V8 boasted 276-hp and was paired with a standard three-mode 4-speed automatic transmission.
Also new this year were dual front airbags and a CD changer. The airbags helped boost Audi's already good repuation for safety, thanks to standard 4-wheel ABS and quattro capability. Other nice standard features included a power sunroof, power adjustable front seats, heated locks, heated front and rear leather seats, a tachometer, center console, power heated mirrors, a trip computer, and a ski bag in the trunk for storage and to keep the trunk bed dry.
The 1992 V8 is a rare sight on the road, and this makes parts hard to find and expensive. Other complaints focus on the road noise and disappointing dealer experiences. But it seems most drivers like their V8's new power and speed on the highway, its crisp handling and maneuverability, and the way the quattro sticks to the road. The interior is incredibly comfortable and roomy, and people like the combination of elegance and sporty performance in a full-size sedan.
3.5 Overall rating
(2 reviews)I love my car. I love how it is a classic and no seen everyday. Its inside feels to euro. I like how Audi only imported 550 of mine with the bigger 300hp 4.2l. It has bose with heated front and rear seats. The nest AWD quattro system of any car. You can't get stuck in the snow.
I own both a 1990 and 1992 V8. Both have just over 100K. The 92 is much superior for the following reasons: the servomatic steering is easier and smoother, the 4.2 engine shows up how underpowered the 3.6 is for the 1990, and the ride was improved with better springs for a less harsh ride. They are like two different cars.The bad news for both is that they really are gas guzzlers. It seems impossible to get over 20mpg for straight highway driving and around times is scary. Ironically the 92 became a headache after having a routine timing belt service that has resulted in a clattering noise that no one seems able to solve even after redoing the job twice, including the dealership taking a stab at it; all the parts are new. Extremely disappointing because no one seems able to figure it out. The 1990, though less satisfying to drive, hasn't given me a bit of trouble in the six months I've had it. If anyone has insight into the rattling noise, let me know, but it's not the obvious suggestions.
