Audi is offering its fans the chance to enter its delicious 100-year history, with the company’s UK website introducing a new heritage section.
This allows visitors to find details about iconic vehicles wearing the Audi badge, observe Vorsprung durch Technik (Progress through Technology) in action, re-live the company’s motorsport record and see the story of four companies becoming one.
This is how Audi describes the new sub-sections:
Producing iconic cars
The ‘heritage showroom’ takes visitors through the brand with four rings’ star-studded line up of iconic cars – from the foundations laid by the 1913 Audi Type C and its market-leading handling and performance (it could develop up to 35PS) – to the trailblazing Eighties quattros and the brand’s first production supercar, the 2007 Audi R8.
