About Audi
The automobile company’s journey started when August Horch (a pioneering German engineer) founded his first automotive company A. Horch & Cie. in 1899 in Cologne. But due to internal conflicts, Horch parted ways with the company and was legally barred from using his own name.
In 1909, he founded a new car company which he creatively named Audi, the Latin translation of his surname, meaning “listen”. This became the brand’s name and marked the birth of Audi Automobilwerke GmbH in 1910.
In 1932, the company merged with 3 other Saxony based manufacturers (Horch, DKW, and Wandered) and formed Auto Union AG which was symbolized by 4 rings logo, representing each founding company. Through this merger, Audi established itself as a significant player in the industry. At the time, the company focused on deluxe midsize cars and pioneering technologies such as front-wheel drive and powerful engines.
However, Audi took a modern turn when Volkwagen AG acquired a controlling stake in the company in 1960s. Then in 1965, Audi’s journey took an interesting turn with the relaunch of Audi F103 series.
Despite acquisition, the founder’s vision was respected, while continuously pushing the boundaries of automotive tech and design.
