About Audi. The history of Audi from its inception to the present day. The history of Audi cars with photos. How Audi has evolved over the years. The advent of the quattro. Audi is one of the most successful German car manufacturers headquartered in Ingoldstadt, producing exclusively passenger cars. Audi has been part of the Volkswagen Group since 1964. The company was founded by August Horch in 1909, the founder of Horch Former partners of the inventor saw a strong competitor in the new company and filed a lawsuit demanding to come up with some other name for it. The court agreed with the plaintiffs' demand and forbade the inventor to call his company Horch. He found a Latinized version of this word - Audi. This is the history of the founding of the famous four-ring company. The young inventor works hard, which becomes a fundamental factor in the release of the first Audi-A car in 1910. By next year, August completes the development  2008 audi q7 for of the Audi-B model. Three such cars made their debut in the summer of 1911 at the first races in the Austrian Alps. In 1912, August produced his most famous model, the Audi-C. The model is immediately subjected to a serious test at the next races in the Alps and shows good results, for which the C series even got the name "Conqueror of the Alps". But this does not help the financial position of the company, and by the 20s of the 20th century it was on the verge of bankruptcy, which forced August to merge with another company. In 1928, the German company DKW buys Audi, and Jorgen Skafte Rasmussen becomes the new owner of the automobile company. But the series of mergers and acquisitions in the history of Audi does not end there: 1932 brings the world an economic crisis, which forced a number of German companies to merge into the Auto Union concern, which included not only DKW and Wanderer, but also former rival companies - Horch and Audi. The newly-founded concern produces two cars with front-wheel drive and a Wanderer engine. Auto Union cars gain a good reputation and sell well until the outbreak of World War II. In the post-war period, all Auto Union member companies are nationalized, and the association itself is reformed in 1949, which is a great merit of attracting Mercedes-Benz shares. In 1958, a controlling stake in Auto Union passes under the control of Daimler-Benz AG, after which it is bought by Volkswagen. With VW taking control, the automaker is once again using its original name, Audi. Soon the manufacturer releases its new front-wheel drive model, and by 1968 the brand had a fairly good range of models and excellent sales statistics. Since that time, all Audis have flaunted the familiar emblem with four circles, which became a symbol of the merger of four companies in 1932. In 1968, the legendary Audi 100 enters the market with its followers and the famous Audi Quattro. The latter in 1980 received a sporty profile and all-wheel drive, which became a new milestone in the development of automotive production in Germany. This light and fast Gran Turismo was distinguished by excellent stability and adaptability for any test (including rally). Competitors could hardly compete with the Quattro, which was the predetermining factor for its exceptionally successful performance in auto racing. 1969 Volkswagen buys the automobile plant in Neckarsulm and renames the company to Audi NSU Auto Union. The manufacturer receives its usual name Audi AG only in 1985. 1970 Audi begins expansion into the US market. At first, only the Audi Super 90 sedan and station wagon, as well as the new Audi 100, were exported to the USA. American sales are going well, which predetermines the supply of Audi 80 models to the USA since 1973 (unlike the European version, the American Audi 80 existed and in the station wagon). Today we know that the Audi 80 station wagon was nothing more than a richer Volkswagen Passat Variant. Later, the Audi 80 and 100 for the American market receive their own designations: Audi 4000 and 5000, respectively. Several facts of violation of responsibility for their cars lead to a decline in sales of Audi in the United States market. Sports coupe Audi Quattro. 1980 Let's go back to the aforementioned Audi Quattro, which made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 1980. The all-wheel drive concept from this car is used in Audi models to this day. The very idea to create such a car arose in 1976, when the brand's engineers conducted test runs of the Volkswagen Iltis SUV for the Bunde https://cars45.com/listing/audi/q7/2008
