What gear should an Audi use on the highway?
1 Answers
For automatic transmission models, using the D gear is sufficient. For manual transmission, change gears normally according to road conditions; generally, shifting to 6th gear is adequate. Audi was founded in 1899 by August Horch as A. Horch & Cie. Due to disagreements with his partners, Horch later established another company named August Horch Automobilwerke GmbH. However, he was sued for the similarity in company names, so he adopted the Latin translation of 'Horch' (meaning 'listen' in German) as the company name, hence 'Audi'. The four-ring logo of Audi originates from the four companies that merged in the early days (in Mainland China, Audi cars are thus jokingly called 'Tetracycline'). In 1932, four German automakers—Audi, DKW, Horch, and Wanderer—merged to form 'Auto Union.' They commissioned Ferdinand Porsche to design the Auto Union V16 racing car (also known as the Silver Arrow), which led their team to secure Germany's representation from the Mercedes team and subsequently dominate the European racing scene.
