Own every Audi.
August Horch founded Audi in Zwickau in 1909 after leaving his first company. The name is the Latin translation of Horch, which means "listen" in German. The four rings date from 1932 and the union with DKW, Horch and Wanderer. The firm is based in Ingolstadt and belongs to Volkswagen.
The start of their anecdote. The album's other cards are for you to discover in the game.
Audi
1976–1982
Ferdinand Piëch left his mark on it: the second Audi 100, internally Type 43, got new five-cylinder engines under Audi's technical chief. It also brought the first Avant models in 1977 and the first five-cylinder diesel, and was assembled in South Africa from late 1977.

Audi
1982–2004
Audi even built a hybrid version, its electric motor driving the rear wheels. The unusually streamlined 100 C3 also brought permanent 'quattro' four-wheel drive to the executive class and was the first Volkswagen Group production car with a TDI direct-injection turbodiesel.

Audi
1990–1994
The last Audi 100 was also the first A6: launched in December 1990, it simply took the new name in 1994. It brought a 2.8-litre V6 with variable intake manifolds, and one of its diesels made it the first standard Audi diesel car to pass 200 km/h.
