1987 Volkswagen Quantum

Like the Dasher, the Quantum was based on the European Audi 80 (4000 in the Ú.S.). As with its predecessor, there were multiple body styles: a wagon, a three-door hatchback, and a four-door sedan. (concept carz) The base four-cylinder engine gave just 74 horsepower, but a five-cylinder 2.2-liter engine that produced 100 horsepower became available for 1984. By the end of the car's life, it was making 115 hp and was available with the Syncro full-time all-wheel-drive system, based off Audi's Quattro drivetrain. The Quantum didn't sell particularly well, mainly because it was priced close to an Audi, but without the Ingolstadt maker's cachet.The four-wheel-drive wagon, known as the Syncro, was introduced during the 1986 model year and was produced alongside the 2WD sedan. (concept carz) The engine remained an Audi five-cylinder unit with overhead cams, a cast-iron block, light alloy head, and Multi-point fuel injection. It developed upwards of 115 horsepower at 5500 RPM and 126 lbs.-ft of torque. A five-speed manual was standard and front disc and rear drum brakes provided the stopping power. Pricing began at $15,000 for the sedan and rose to $16,650 for the Syncro Station Wagon.
