A heritage of performance and innovation
Since its foundation in 1909, Audi has been distinguished by its commitment to excellence in performance and innovation. From legendary rally cars to iconic luxury saloons, each miniature Audi model celebrates the brand's rich history and reputation as an automotive pioneer.
Foundation and Beginnings
Audi was founded in 1909 by August Horch in Zwickau, Germany. Horch, a visionary automotive engineer, had already founded another car company bearing his name, but after disagreements with his partners, he left the company and created Audi, which means "listen" in Latin, a translation of his own surname, which means "hear" in German.
Merger and Birth of Audi
In 1932, Audi, Horch, DKW and Wanderer merged to form Auto Union AG. The four intertwined rings, which still form the Audi logo today, each represented one of the brands. During this period, Auto Union produced a diverse range of vehicles, from luxury cars to popular cars and motorbikes.
The Era of the Quattro
In the 1980s, Audi revolutionised the automotive industry with the launch of Quattro technology, introducing permanent all-wheel drive to passenger cars. The Audi Quattro, unveiled in 1980, was a great success in competition and on the market, establishing Audi as a leader in technology and performance.
