Audi uses galvanised steel which is slightly different from galvanising the
body.
Since it's galvanised before moulding the result is a strong sandwich like
steel.

VW and the latest GM Opel/Vauxhall Astra use the same material.

Does Audi still galvanize their car bodies? I know my 5000cs turbo still
looks good considering it is 18 years old. Also what other manufacturers do
this beside Porsche? Does VW? Anyone know what it cost Audi to do this
process?

GM has been known to galvanize some of their bodies since mid-80s.
