Audi: libri - Modelli e informazioni tecniche

Audi - L'irrésistible ascension

After being ousted from his own brand, August Horch founded Audi, then in 1910, then in 1932, the brand joined forces with three other manufacturers to found Auto Union, with its logo of four intertwined rings.
After the war, the group came under the control of Mercedes-Benz, manufacturing mainly cheap two-stroke cars. Losing momentum, Auto Union was sold to Volkswagen, mainly interested in factories, to meet the strong demand for Beetles.

However, the critical success of the F102, which became the Audi 72, encouraged the management to make Audi a brand offering luxurious and reliable front-wheel drive models. Under the leadership of Ferdinand Piëch, a brilliant engineer and grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, innovation, symbolised by the five-cylinder engine and especially the Quattro all-wheel drive with its multiple rally victories, would propel Audi in a few decades to the level of other German premium brands.

Covering many segments of the automotive market, Audi has become a world-renowned and appreciated German sports brand while retaining its DNA, made of technology, innovation and quality.
This book invites you to relive this history through fourteen iconic models. From the Audi Typ C, the first Audi competition car, to the Audi e-tron Sportback, which revolutionized the 100% electric SUV, to the Audi Quattro, world rally champion (1982 1984), discover the history of the brand with the rings.

Audi, les anneaux magiques

Audi is definitely an atypical car brand in the German automotive landscape, with a history that goes back to the beginning of the 20th century, but which the general public only knows about the last thirty years, since the appearance of the revolutionary quattro. Since then, Audi has risen to the top three of the European high-end, with Mercedes and BMW. Unlike these two competitors, Audi remains an astonishing laboratory of design and technology.

Rediscover in this book from the Label Auto collection the emblematic models that have etched the genes of the brand with the four rings...

Audi A2

When the first Audi A2 rolled off the production line in Neckarsulm in 1999, it was destined for great things: it was supposed to shake up the compact car market. Instead, the A2 passed unnoticed by the market. But even if it was not very popular at the time, today it is a sought-after classic - as a youngtimer on the used car market.

The Audi A2 was simply ahead of its time. The unusual van-like shape and the comparatively high price put off potential buyers at the time. But the A2 was a true milestone in automotive technology.
With its lightweight aluminum body, extremely low air resistance and economical engines, the smallest Audi of its time can still keep up with many current small car models today. Hardly any other small car at the time could offer the high-quality equipment with air conditioning, glass sunroof and leather seats, which were available on request.

In this book, Dirk-Michael Conradt tells the whole story of the small premium car. The experienced motor journalist and former editor-in-chief of the magazines Motor Klassik and sport auto is himself an A2 driver and fan.

- Complete chronology of the Audi A2 from the prototype to the finished model
- All technical data and production figures
- Around 200 partly unpublished photos from the Audi factory archive

Audi 100 Coupé S

NUOVO

According to legend, the Audi 100 Coupé S was not created as part of a marketing strategy, but from the personal wish of Technical Director Ludwig Kraus. In the 1960s, he preferred a coupé to a saloon as his company car. The team led by designer Hartmut Warkuß produced an elegant two-door model that could rival designs by famous Italian stylists.

Typical of its era, the interior featured corduroy seats and wooden trim. Power came from a 112 hp four-cylinder engine, which easily handled the car's low weight. The high price of around 14.000 DM limited sales and later turned the model into a sought-after classic.

In this monograph, Audi expert Dirk-Michael Conradt examines the development and variants of a car that shaped the brand's style.
