How Often Does Audi Undergo a Major Model Change?
1 Answers
Audi undergoes a major model change every 4 years. Audi's Development: Audi was founded in 1899 by August Horch as A. Horch & Cie. Later, due to disagreements with his partners, Horch established another company named August Horch Automobilwerke GmbH. However, due to a naming conflict, he was sued and subsequently changed the company name to Audi, the Latin translation of 'Horch' (meaning 'to listen' in German). Audi's Logo: The 'four rings' logo of Audi originates from the four companies that merged in its early days (in mainland China, Audi cars are often humorously referred to as 'Tetracycline' due to this logo). In 1932, four German automakers—Audi, DKW, Horch, and Wanderer—merged to form 'Auto Union.' They commissioned Porsche to design the Auto Union V16 racing car (also known as the Silver Arrow), which helped their team secure the German representation from Mercedes-Benz and subsequently dominated the European racing scene.
