    AUDI AG 85045 Ingolstadt Germany History of the Four Rings AUDI AG can look back on a very eventful and varied history; its tradition of car and motorcycle manufacturing goes right back to the 19th century. The Audi and Horch brands in the town of Zwickau in Saxony, Wanderer in Chemnitz and DKW in Zschopau all enriched Germany’s automobile industry and contributed to the development of the motor vehicle. These four brands came together in 1932 to form Auto Union AG, the second largest motor-vehicle manufacturer in Germany in terms of total production volume. The new company chose as its emblem four interlinked rings, which even today remind us of the four founder companies. After the Second World War the Soviet occupying power requisitioned and dismantled Auto Union AG’s production facilities in Saxony. Leading company executives made their way to Bavaria, and in 1949 established a new company, Auto Union GmbH, which continued the tradition associated with the four-ring emblem. In 1969, Auto Union GmbH and NSU merged to form Audi NSU Auto Union AG, which since 1985 has been known as AUDI AG and has its head offices in Ingolstadt. The Four Rings remain the company’s identifying symbol. Horch This company’s activities are closely associated with its original founder August Horch, one of Germany’s automobile manufacturing pioneers. After graduating from the Technical Academy in Mittweida, Saxony he worked on engine construction and later as head of the motor vehicle production department of the Carl Benz company in Mannheim. In 1899 he started his own business, Horch & Cie., in Cologne.

Errors and omissions excepted - 1 - Short copy Audi Avantissimo – a new form of dynamism and luxury At the 2001 International Automobile Exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany (the ‘IAA’), Audi is exhibiting the Avantissimo concept study. This is a vision from the company that makes the cars bearing the four-ring badge – a high- performance Avant for the luxury car class. Avantissimo: the name itself expresses the superlative element in this design study, which is a clear display of dynamism and luxury in a unique form. It has been given to a design study which, like the Avant concept itself, opens up a new dimension. Avant is the name for beautiful estate cars that reach equally high standards of dynamism and high-tech engineering. For more than ten years now, Audi has pursued a new path with its Avant models – one that adds an emotive element to pure logic. Dynamism is certainly not lacking in the power unit chosen for the Audi Avantissimo. The 4.2-litre V8 engine with ‘biturbo’ forced aspiration mobilises more than 316 kW (430 bhp) and endows the car with the performance of a supersport model.

  • Auto Union 1000 Sp 1961
    „Schmalspur-Thunderbird“ – AUTO UNION 1000 SP 1961 Er macht ein bisschen den Eindruck eines zu heiss höhere Verdichtung und eine andere gewaschenen Ami-Schlittens. Eines sportlichen Ami- Vergaseranlage 55 PS leistet und das Auto 140 Kmh Schlittens, versteht sich, so im Stile einer frühen schnell macht. Corvette oder mehr noch des ersten Ford Thunderbird. Tatsächlich hat die Fachpresse ihm Von 1958 bis 1965 liefen insgesamt 5000 damals – 1957 – auch gleich das Attribut Sportcoupes von den Förderbändern, zusätzlich umgehängt: „Schmalspur-Thunderbird“. 1640 Cabrios. Die Änderungen während der Produktionszeit sind marginal und betreffen 1957 also wurde er erstmal vorgestellt, der Auto hauptsächlich Sicherheitsaspekte. Wie zB die Union 1000 SP, und zwar auf der IAA, der Scheibenbremsen an den Vorderrrädern, Blech- Internationalen Automobil Ausstellung in Frankfurt verstärkungen um Sicherheitsgurte anbringen zu am Main. Im Jahr darauf sah man ihn auch bereits können im Inneren und abgerundete Heckflossen. auf der Straße, den kleinen Flitzer, der zwar als Dass die SP’s ebenso wie der vormalige 3 = 6 nicht „zweisitziges Sportcoupe“ angeboten wurde, mehr den Markennamen DKW führen, sondern jetzt dennoch im Fond eine zweite Sitzbank unterbringt. wie ihr Hersteller Auto Union heißen, geht auf eine Die allerdings mehr für Hunde oder bestenfalls Forderung der Daimler-Benz AG zurück, die 1958 Kleinkinder Raum bietet, oder allenfalls für die Aktienmehrheit des instabilen Herstellers in faltfreudige Gummimenschen.

  • Front Wheel Drive the Story of Pioneers of the Front Wheel Drive Motorcar
    Front Wheel Drive The story of pioneers of the front wheel drive motorcar To most British motorists that think about such things, the Mini, was the beginning of the front wheel drive revolution. The revolutionary concept that was the Mini was it’s packaging.The packing of the engine, gearbox and final drive into a very compact unit, leaving sufficient space in a very small car for four people. The Mini didn’t start the front wheel drive revolution but the packaging revolution that has spread throughout the worlds motor industry. This was made possible because of the developments in front wheel drive technology that had gone on during the previous forty years, but until that time had been almost ignored by the British motor industry. The combination of front wheel drive and efficient packaging has revolutionised the world’s motor industry, being almost universally used, except were considerations of cost and or size are not important. This is the story of those years before the Mini and the pioneers of front wheel drive. From the Carriage to the Horseless Carriage For the thousands of years, from the time of their invention, wheeled vehicles were pulled from the front. This was because it was an inherently stable arrangement, it made steering easier and gave maximum control. This lasted as long as the foot was used to transmit the motive power to the road, but once the wheel was used to transmit the power of an onboard engine to the road the situation changed. This was due to the correct and universal understanding that the front wheels must be used for steering, and as it was so much simpler to drive the none steerable wheels, rear wheel drive became the accepted method used for the pioneer self propelled vehicle.
