Mileiko History of AUDI Belarusian National Technical University Minsk, Belarus У Originally in 1885, automobile company Wanderer wasТ established, later becoming a branch of Audi AG. Franz Fikentscher suggested the word "Audi", which translatedН from Latin means “listen” a new name for the company. The first Audi automobile, the Audi Type A 10/22Б hp (16 kW) Sport-Phaeton, was produced in 1915, followed by the successor Type B 10/28PS [1]. Audi started with a 2,612 cc inline-fourй engine model Type A, followed by a 3,564 cc model,и as well as 4,680 cc and 5,720 cc models. These cars were successful even in sporting events. The first six-cylinder modelр Type M, 4,655 cc appeared in 1924. August Horch left theо Audiwerke in 1920 for a high position at the ministry of transport, but he was still involved with Audi as a member ofт the board of trustees. In September 1921, Audi becameи the first German car manufacturer to present a production car, the Audi Type K, with left-handed drive. Left-handз drive spread and established dominance during the 1920sо because it provided a better view of oncoming traffic, making overtaking safer. In August 1928, Jørgen Rasmussen,п the owner of Dampf-Kraft-Wagen (DKW), acquiredе the majority of shares in Audiwerke AG. In the same year, Rasmussen bought the remains of the U.S. automobile Рmanufacturer Rickenbacker, including the manufacturing equipment for eight-cylinder engines. These engines were used in Audi Zwickau and Audi Dresden models that were launched 430 in 1929.

  • Automotive Design Culture: Aesthetic Trends Originated in Technology
    F2004U060 AUTOMOTIVE DESIGN CULTURE: AESTHETIC TRENDS ORIGINATED IN TECHNOLOGY Liamadis, George*, Tsinikas, Nikolaos Faculty of Technology, School of Architecture, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece KEYWORDS - Design, Styling, Trends, Technology, Society ABSTRACT – Ever since the Futurist’s Manifesto, first to see the inner beauty of speed and progress symbolized in the form of early automobile’s mechanical parts, automotive history has often experienced paradigms of technological breakthroughs grown popular to establish aesthetic trends. The car, this highly influential cultural icon of the last century, has often drawn its stylistic inspiration in the product’s technological nature, in the attempt to express visually human’s inherent need for more power, for “better and faster”. Great pipes on early racing cars (1910’s), recalling images of “snakes with explosive breath”, had soon given their place in a new formal language, an aesthetic refinement known as streamlining (1930’s). The expressive force of streamlining, made it synonymous with ‘design’, sculptural intensity and ‘vigorous motion’ even when standing still. It provided an effective visual metaphor for progress, which soon became a formal topos and established an aesthetic trend later extended to a whole series of industrial products, often alien to the idea of motion. Aircraft-referential tailfins on American cars of the 50’s, took automotive styling into the supersonic age, expressing the power of flight and the optimism of the post-war period. The 1973 oil crisis brought up an automotive culture, which shifted the goal from maximization of speed to the optimization of effectiveness. Within this context, streamlining has retained its significance, now justified in terms of ecology and environmental politics.

  • The Porsche Type List
    The Porsche Type List When Professor Ferdinand Porsche started his business, the company established a numeric record of projects known as the Type List. As has been reported many times in the past, the list began with Type 7 so that Wanderer-Werke AG did not realize they were the company’s first customer. Of course, as a result, Porsche’s famous car, the 356 as defined on the Type List, was actually Porsche’s 350th design project. In reviewing the Porsche Type List enclosed on this website, you might notice several interesting aspects. First, although there is a strong chronological alignment of Type numbers, it is certainly not perfect. No official explanation exists as to why this occurs. It is possible that Type numbers were originally treated only as an informal configuration and data management tool and today’s rigorous examination of Porsche history is but an aberration of 20/20 hindsight. Secondly, you might also notice that there were variations on Type List numbers that were probably made rather spontaneously. For example, consider the Type 60 with its many “K” variations to designate different body styles. Also consider how the Type 356 was initially a tube frame chassis then changed to a sheet metal chassis with the annotation 356/2 but the /2 later reused to describe different body/engine offerings. Then there were the variants on the 356 annotated as 356 SL, 356A, 356B, and 356C designations and in parallel there were the 356 T1 through 356 T7 designations. Not to mention, of course, the trademark infringement threat that caused the Type 901 to be externally re-designated as the 911.

    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.

  • The Corvair Line: Styling Sensation of the 1960S by James Kraus
    The Corvair Line: Styling Sensation Of The 1960s by James Kraus Chevrolet Corvair 700 Sedan The Corvair Line is an accent line that circumnavigates the entire vehicle, front, sides and back, visually dividing the body into upper and lower sections. It can rise and fall, curve and bend, but must be unbroken, with neither beginning nor end. Volkswagen Transporter While the Corvair popularized this motif, it was not actually the first to make use of it. While there were a number of separate- fender era examples like the DKW Wanderer, 1937 Ford Model 74, Peugeot 202 and VW Beetle, the first modern appearance was on the Volkswagen Transporter of 1949. Fiat 500 In 1957, the Fiat 500 made its debut with a single concave character line encircling the perimeter. This was the first use of such a line in a single relatively flat plane, roughly parallel with the ground on a ponton, envelope body design. The idea of a such a single character line uniting the front, sides and rear was a concept that was clearly in the air at the General Motors styling studios in the late ’50s. The 1960 Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles featured partial Corvair Lines, but the new 1960 Corvair incorporated the full all-round treatment in the form of a crisp deeply- drawn crease, deviating from complete linearity only by way of a slightly dipped section between the headlamps. 1960 Pontiac Bonneville: a Corvair Line fading at the centre sides and intersected by quad tail lamps. Fitz and Van illustration While the Corvair was not the first to incorporate the 360-degree accent, its sharp, well-delineated expression of the feature had an immediate marked influence on automobile designers the world over.
