The name Audi comes from the Latin translation of the founder’s surname. Horch means
“listen” in German, hence making it “Audi” in Latin. Furthermore, Audi’s logo features 4
entwined rings, representing the four father companies that merged together to create Audi’s
parent company Auto Union. In addition its German slogan”Vorsprung durch
Technik” translates to “Being ahead through technology” and rather unsurprsingly, all of Audi’s
modern cars feature ground-breaking software and computer hardware that work
together to make the car ultimately more efficient. Lastly, Audi was one of the
pioneers of car safety and has been conducting crash tests for over 75 years now.
Audi has achieved success in numerous important motorsport events, such as rallying, Touring,
Le Mans, and GT racing. In 2019 so far they have completed 565 races and have
achieved 45 podiums. Currently, Audi is involved in Formula E, Gt3, DTM, and
WTCR. Their fastest cars include Audi R8 LMS GT2 and the Formula E range breaking the
speed barriers and stretching limits.
Currently, Audi already has an electric car called e-tron, a fully electric 5-door SUV, which is
packed with modern technology making it almost ahead of its time. With an all new
electric motor, the car generates a large amount of torque at launch giving it lightning quick
acceleration, and with regenerative braking, its battery can be recharged while on the
road!
