Here are some funny statements made by the owner:” This is a completely RUST-FREE AUDI V-8 QUATTRO and one the nicest anywhere." "There is NO rust to be seen anywhere.” I believe these cars were all aluminum, so that they won't rust at all.

 Audi Mediaroom: AUDI ADDS 4.2-LITER V8 TO ALLROAD QUATTRO FOR FULL-POWERED ON- AND OFF-ROAD DRIVING
To incorporate the 4.2-liter V8 into the allroad quattro, the toothed belt previously found at the engine’s front end has been replaced by a chain drive at the rear, and two controllable electric cooler fans take the place of the large viscous fan at the front of the vehicle.
The Audi allroad quattro 4.2 has one variable camshaft system per bank of cylinders to vary the valve timing of the inlet camshafts according to the engine speed range.
Adding to the allroad quattro’s stability is the latest generation of the Audi four-link front suspension with a built-in self-centering effect that is especially critical on rugged terrain.

Paul Fernandes has done it again!  A V8 owner himself, Paul understands the lament of V8 owners around the world.  Due to the rarity of the V8 Quattro, no manufacturer in his right mind would cater to a market segment as small as ours.  Fortunately, Paul is not in his right mind.

 Ti Kan: Audi
Audi's winning legacy in motorsports (from the 1930s Auto Union grand prix cars to rallying, to Trans Am, to IMSA GTO, to DTM, to Super Touring, to today's Le Mans and ALMS tour de force) also amply demonstrate the "unfair advantage" of many of its technologies.
Audi is also one of the most environmentally-conscious automobile makers, with very high recycling content (in the cars themselves as well as in manufacturing waste materials), the first to use water-based paints, and even the use of trees that are past their fruit-bearing age for the wood trims in the interiors.
Audi engineers are not afraid to think outside of the box and Audi drivers buy the cars based on their merits, not on pre-conceived notions of image or prestige.

 1993 Audi V8 Quattro six-speed Comments - Carsurvey.org
For model year 1992, Audi indeed made some changes to the front suspension components (mainly to be able to use the same parts as on the then new C4) but the UFO brakes remained on the car.
The Girling G60 brake from the substantially lighter and less powerful 10V Audi 200 used to be dealer-retrofitted (with factory backing) as an "emergency quick fix" to some 1990 cars in the North American markets (US/Canada) when and after owners complained about warping (and repeated rotor changes did not fix the issue) ONLY.
This conversion was done solely to pacify select angry customers who otherwise would have dumped their $50k cars and shopped elsewhere, leaving Audi with another PR disaster just after the corporate image barely recovered from the 'unintended acceleration' media nightmare and tried to tap into the big-prestige market for the first time.

 Audi Mediaroom: AUDI ADDS MUSCLE TO ALLROAD QUATTRO: LATEST AUDI V8 ENGINE ADDED TO LINEUP
With seating for seven adults and a large cargo area with a split-fold rear seat, the allroad quattro is a case study for purposefully built crossover vehicles.
The new 4.2 engine is 2.05 inches shorter than the original V8 engine, thanks to an ingenious rear-mount chain drive system that replaces the toothed-belt drive normally found at the front of an engine.
While Audi reduced the size of the 4.2 engine, the performance numbers still remain robust — a powerful 300 horsepower at 6,200 revolutions per minute and peak torque of 280 lbs.
