The celebration doesn't stop in Ingolstadt this year either, as Audi Tradition will be celebrating 30 years of quattro during the Techno Classica show in Essen, Germany on April 7. There, four Audi quattro models of "outstanding interest" will be presented.

Together with the car models, Audi will continue to celebrate the anniversary throughout the year, with the next appearance at the Grand Prix Historique in Monaco on May 1, followed by “Schottenring Classic Grand Prix” on August 14 and 15.

For the first time, the Classic Days held on July 30 and August 1 at Schloss Dyck will also witness Audi Tradition, were a Auto Union Grand Prix racing car will be seen in action along side the Audi 200 Trans Am dating from 1988. .

During the “Klassikwelt Bodensee,” a new exhibition in Friedrichshafen, Audi will be presenting electrically propelled vehicles going back as far as the 1920s.

Of course, Audi Tradition will be present at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the 1939 Auto Union Type D Grand Prix racing car with its twin-supercharger engine will be presented. And that's not all...

"The 30th anniversary of quattro is accompanied in 2010 by a second major jubilee year: 125 years of the Wanderer company. Based in Chemnitz, Wanderer was represented by one of the four rings in the company logo, and built cars and motorcycles until the outbreak of the Second World War," Audi says in a release.

To commemorate this anniversary, Audi Tradition will also be taking part in the “125 Years of Wanderer” meeting from September 2 to 5 in Leipzig and Chemnitz.
