Audi - Innovation im Zeichen der Vier Ringe

Les Quatre Anneaux - aujourd'hui symbole mondialement connu d'Audi - représentent l'union des entreprises Audi, DKW, Horch et Wanderer. En 1932, après la Grande Dépression, ces sociétés fondèrent l'Auto Union. Cela marque le début d'une histoire automobile remarquable, avec Audi comme seule marque encore existante.

Ce livre, illustré de nombreuses images d'époque, explique la création de l'Auto Union. Il présente les voitures et motos emblématiques des marques et explique pourquoi Audi existe toujours et pourquoi les Quatre Anneaux n'ont pas été transformés en cinq après la fusion avec NSU en 1969.

Les innovations modernes et les modèles actuels sont également abordés, incluant des technologies comme quattro, Audi Space Frame et le moteur cinq cylindres, des études de design, les tendances stylistiques et les succès en sport automobile. Toutes les séries de l'A1 à la R8 sont présentées, ainsi que l'histoire d'Auto Union et NSU et les marques Ducati et Lamborghini.

Die Auto Union AG - Spurensuche Ost

The founding of Auto Union AG in 1932 was the first state-owned German automobile company, which united the car manufacturers Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer, which had been hit hard by the global economic crisis, rehabilitated them and led them to new heights. The brand's headquarters were in Chemnitz, although the company's administration was housed in the DKW headquarters in Zschopau in the early years.

Even today there are numerous architectural testimonies of the Auto Union in Saxony that have survived the bombing war, dismantling and planned economy - some renovated at great expense, but some left to decay and with an uncertain future.

The historian Martin Kukowski and the photographer Stefan Warter go on a search for clues and document the current state with impressive photos, accompanied by expert historical classification and photo documents from the archives.
