  • From the Audi R10 TDI Straight Into the A4 DTM
    Ingolstadt, 19 March 2006 Motorsport / 21 days until the start of the 2006 DTM From the Audi R10 TDI straight into the A4 DTM • Le Mans record winner Tom Kristensen swaps in no time at all Spending a lot of time with the family or pursuing hobbies such as cycling and jet skiing at home in Hobro, Denmark, are unlikely propositions for Tom Kristensen AUDI AG this year. In the 2006 season, the 38-year-old Audi factory driver is shouldering as Kommunikation 85045 Ingolstadt many as two racing commitments: In the Audi A4 DTM, he contests Europe’s www.audi.com most popular touring car series which is scheduled to start at Hockenheim on April 9th and, in addition, he is part of Audi’s ambitious diesel project in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The differences between these two racing disciplines notwithstanding, there is one thing they have in common: Tom Kristensen is considered one of the hot favourites in both. As many as seven times Kristensen has won the world’s most famous endurance race in France, now being the record holder. After his victory in the Audi R10 TDI at Sebring (Florida) this weekend, the new diesel sportscar’s debut, the Dane will be flying on Sunday night directly from Miami to London, where the official DTM tests at Brands Hatch are scheduled to start on Monday. There, Kristensen will be taking the wheel of his new Audi A4 DTM – bearing the internal designation “R12 plus” – for the first time. Yet the record holder has no problem switching from the 650-hp open-air sports prototype to the DTM touring car in which he claimed third place in the Championship last year: “No matter whether I climb into the R10 TDI or the A4 DTM – I always immediately feel that I’m sitting in an Audi.” Tomorrow: Tests in the DTM – every day counts Communication Motorsport Telephone +49 (0)841 89 34200, fax +49 (0)841 89 38617 E-Mail [email protected] Photographs, sound bites and additional information on the Internet: www.audi-motorsport.info (Accreditation necessary) 1/1 .

    BMW Corporate Communications Media Information DTM 2nd July 2017 Second race, second BMW victory: Maxime Martin wins eventful Sunday race at the Norisring. • BMW’s 75th victory in the DTM since 1984. • Maxime Martin stands on the top step of the DTM podium for the third time. • Five BMW M4 DTMs finish in the top ten. Norisring. Following Bruno Spengler’s (CAN) victory in Saturday’s race at the Norisring (GER), it was another BMW driver who crossed the finish line in first place at the end of the eighth race of the year on Sunday: after 66 laps, two safety car phases and one red flag, Maxime Martin (BEL) took the chequered flag to claim the 75th success for BMW in the DTM having started from seventh on the grid. Martin backed up third place in Budapest (HUN) and second place on Saturday with his third DTM victory – his first since 2015 at the Nürburgring. For BMW, this was a fitting conclusion to a historic weekend at the Norisring. BMW was victorious in Nuremberg for the first time since 1992 – and, as was also the case back then, in both races. Marco Wittmann (GER), Augusto Farfus (BRA), Tom Blomqvist (GBR) and Timo Glock (GER) finished fifth, seventh, ninth and tenth to complete a fine team result, with five BMW M4 DTMs in the top ten on Sunday. Spengler came home twelfth, having been in contention for a podium finish for long periods of the race. Qualifying: As usual, the grid positions at the narrow street circuit were decided by mere thousandths of a second.

But there were loads of other activities surrounding Audi at the Nürburgring as well. Many prominent guests came to visit Audi at the Nürburgring. The German national ladies skiing team around Maria Riesch and Katy Hölzl and their chief coach Mathias Berthold had the chance of a close-up DTM experience including a peak behind the scenes during a pit lane tour. Real-world and TV judge Alexander Hold, actor Sam Eisenstein (“Alles was zählt”) and TV presenter Kai Pflaume were guests too, as were footballer Lukas Sinkiewicz from Bayer 04 Leverkusen and actor Norbert Heisterkamp (“Alles Atze”, “7 Zwerge”).

  • Audi Celebra 50 Años De Su "Vorsprung Durch Technik"
    12/07/21 | INSTITUCIONAL Un lema con historia: Audi celebra 50 años de su "Vorsprung durch Technik" El eslogan de Audi celebra este año su 50 aniversario. Incluso medio siglo después de su composición no pierde su sentido y se refuerza con nuevos hitos cada año. Hoy ya son cinco décadas de innovaciones que demuestran por qué el "Vorsprung durch Technik" no es solo un eslogan para Audi, sino también una expresión de su marcada actitud orientada al futuro. El nacimiento del lema 1969 se dió la fusión de Auto Union GmbH, con sede en Ingolstadt, y Neckarsulmer NSU Motorenwerke para formar Audi NSU Auto Union AG en Neckarsulm. La gama de modelos de la nueva compañía abarcaba desde los motores refrigerados por aire de la serie NSU Prinz de tracción trasera y los motores de cuatro cilindros refrigerados por agua de los Audi 60 y Audi 100 de tracción delantera hasta el motor rotativo de los modelos futuristas de esos tiempos como la NSU Ro 80. La idea de comunicar esta diversidad tecnológica como una ventaja competitiva surgió en 1970 de Hans Bauer. El empleado del departamento de publicidad de Audi NSU creó el eslogan que la gente de todo el mundo reconocería: "Vorsprung durch Technik". El nuevo lema hizo su primera aparición en un anuncio de gran tamaño en enero de 1971. Pronto, los clientes también lo vieron en los folletos de Audi NSU. Audi 100, Audi 100 Coupé S, Audi 80 o Audi 50: todos representaban por entonces el "Vorsprung durch Technik". El eslogan se adaptó a lo largo de los años de muchas maneras, incluido “Audi.
