Audi

Audi is part of the Volkswagen group and was formed from an amalgamation of Audi, NSU and Auto Union in the 1960s. The first car launched after the take over was the Audi 100 in 1968, followed by the Audi 80 in 1972.

Until the arrival of the seminal Audi Quattro in 1980, Audi was considered to be a producer of worthy but rather staid cars. The Audi Quattro’s success in international rallying created an icon, and many Audis since have carried the Quattro badge – used to denote models that are fitted with four-wheel drive.

Audi’s move upmarket began in the late 1980s with the introduction of the new Audi 80 (and the Audi 90 derivative). Other models from this era include the Audi 100 (including the first Audi estate known as the 100 Avant), the Audi 200 and the GT.

Innovation continued in the 1990s as Audi launched the first all-aluminium bodied car in the A8 and later introduced the Audi A2 which shared the same lightweight, expensive but strong material in its construction.

The real renaissance for Audi, however, came in 1995 with the launch of the Audi A4 which immediately challenged the likes of the BMW 3 Series and the Mercedes C-Class in the compact executive sector. Other models from this era include the Golf-based Audi A3 and the larger A6 as well as another of Audi’s instant classics, the TT.

The Audi brand has enjoyed enormous sales success over the last decade in the UK market and has a wide model range from the Audi A3, A3 Sportback, A3 Cabriolet, Audi A4, A4 Avant, A4 Cabriolet, Audi A5, Audi A6, A6 Avant, A8, TT, TT Cabriolet and the Audi Q7. Audi has also developed a range of high-performance models, from the ‘S’ derivatives (such as the S3, S4, S6 and S8) to the ultra-fast RS models (the Audi RS4 Avant of 2000 being the first) through to the Audi R8, which essentially is a Lamborghini Gallardo with the most recent RS4 powerplant installed behind the driver.

Forthcoming models include the Audi Q5 and the A1.
