Audi Is A Car Manufacturing Company With A Big History

The foundation of the company is on 14 November 1899. This is the date when August Horch (1868 - 1951) established the company A. Horch & Cie which was the starting point of Audi that we know today. This company was established in the Ehrenfeld district of Cologne where August Horch made his first car model. Two years later the company was converted to share-issuing company. During that time another change of location took place. On the same year - 10 May 1904 a company in Zwicka was established by the name A. Horch & Cie. Motorwagen-Werke AG

The year 1926 is really significant because during it the first eight-cylinder car was introduced by Horchwerke AG of Zwickau. The Horch was the name of that car and it was the first German eight-cylinder car to go into volume production. Paul Daimler designed the engine with double overhead camshafts.

Two years later in 1928 the first DKW car appeared. That engine is 600 cc, 15 hp in the form of two-cylinder motorcycle unit.
In the next year - 1933 at the Berlin motor show Auto Union AG presented to the general public the first standard-size passenger car with front-wheel drive. For that car a six-cylinder engine was used.

On 3 September 1949 a new company was established by the name Auto Union GmbH in Ingolstadt.

One of the latest significant things that happened was in March 1994. This is when Audi AG presented a new car model - the Audi A8. This was a major attraction in the Geneva Motor Show.
