what car did Princess Diana drive?
it was an Audi 80 Cabriolet, in quattro, produced from 1991 to 2000. Diana’s car was a 1994 model, finished in Gomera Pearl Effect (dark green). The Cabriolet was based on the Audi 80 sedan.
the car was powered by a 2.3-litre five-cylinder engine producing 133 horsepower. It was an expensive and stylish car at the time, and the Cabriolet was one of Audi’s most desirable models.
Diana was often photographed driving the Audi herself, rather than being driven by a chauffeur. The car became part of her famous casual and independent image.
Today, Diana’s Audi 80 Cabriolet remains one of the most recognisable cars associated with the Princess.
