Audi stands as a beacon of automotive innovation, with a heritage that dates back to the 19th century. At Applewood Performance Center, we celebrate the storied history and the visionary pioneers who have crafted Audi's legacy. Join us in a journey through time as we explore the revolutions and milestones that define Audi's contributions to car manufacturing, motorcycles, engine production, and motor racing.
The Audi saga began in 1899 with founder August Horch's vision in Cologne, which led to the establishment of Audiwerke AG in Zwickau a decade later. Today, we proudly showcase the evolution of the Audi brand from its inception to the modern marvels that grace our showroom floors.
The iconic four interlocking rings emblem symbolizes the union of four trailblazing automobile manufacturers: Audi, DKW, Horch, and Wanderer. This merger birthed AUDI AG, representing a legacy of collaboration and unwavering commitment to automotive innovation.
Despite the challenges following World War II, Audi's indomitable spirit prevailed. Reestablished as Auto Union GmbH in Ingolstadt in 1949/1950, the brand demonstrated resilience and ingenuity, reshaping the automobile industry and setting new benchmarks for excellence.
Since 1971, "Advancement through Technology" has been Audi's mantra, emphasizing a dedication to perpetual innovation and technological prowess. This core philosophy is embedded in every Audi vehicle, driving the brand towards a future filled with promise and progress.
