Audi background and Audi deals news

 

Audi is considered by many car enthusiasts as one of the most stylish and dynamic car manufacturers, with vehicle models continuously changing with time.

Founded in 1909 by August Horch, Audi, then named Audiwerke AG Zwickau til 1910, has always had integrity and quality structuring its identity---making it one of the most profitable in the world. In 2016 alone, the carmaker sold over 378,000 vehicles to become the 5th best-selling car brand in the UK.

More than 100 years since the first Audi car was made by Horch, Audi's fleet has expanded and continue to grow as its popularity continued to spread even to the relatively young e-vehicle market.

Audi, which is the Latin translation of Horch (German word for listen), is known for its elegance and discretion, as well as high-class design, security and comfort.

Every Audi is basically a well-balanced machine that offers maximum comfort and power but without the raw aggressive muscle found in its contemporaries. Thus, the tagline Vorsprung durch Technik, meaning "Advantage through Technology".  

The Audi emblem, which is four rings joined together, symbolizes the amalgamation of Audi with DKW, Horch and Wanderer.

The first car to be considered as a modern Audi is the 100, which was launched in 1968. It was followed by the 80 in 1972, which kicked off the expansion of the brand. 

Audi, also known, for its efficient diesel vehicle models, and the extensive use of aluminium in many of its vehicle models to keep the weight down and increase fuel economy.  

The fuel-efficient design of its vehicles, which was copied from racing technology, is Audi way of emphasizing its commitment to the environment. 

In fact, Audi even integrated its environmental compliance standard to its production line by cutting solvent emissions by two thirds. This was done by using modern cleaning technologies and water-soluble paints. Also, as high as 95 percent of waste from the production line is recycled.
