The saying goes that three is a magic number – yet for Audi, it’s five that holds a special place. This year marks 45 years of the German brand’s iconic five-cylinder engine configuration – and as a celebration to round off the year, we’ve gathered together some of the most famous models to be powered by the legendary five-pot motor. But 2022 also sees another anniversary, because earlier this year the company’s latest and greatest RS 3 landed in the UK, marking the final model in the brand’s history to feature five-cylinder power.

The story started with the Audi 100 C2. The second generation of the brand’s family saloon was the first to get a five-pot motor, producing a grand total of 134bhp from its 2.1-litre fuel-injected engine. However, it wasn’t until a few years later, in 1980, when Audi’s five-cylinder history became really interesting, with a greater focus on performance. This is where our man Sean Carson picks up the story - join him for a blast in the firm’s greatest ever five-cylinder models.
