Audi - Innovation im Zeichen der Vier Ringe

De Vier Ringen - tegenwoordig het wereldberoemde symbool van Audi - staan voor de fusie van Audi, DKW, Horch en Wanderer. In 1932, na de Grote Depressie, bundelden deze bedrijven hun krachten tot Auto Union. Zo begon een bijzondere bedrijfsgeschiedenis, waarbij Audi als enige merk overbleef.

Dit boek laat met veel historische foto's zien hoe Auto Union ontstond. Belangrijke auto's en motorfietsen van de merken worden getoond en er wordt uitgelegd waarom Audi tot op heden bestaat en waarom de Vier Ringen na de fusie met NSU in 1969 niet vijf werden.

Daarnaast behandelt het boek moderne innovaties en actuele Audi-modellen, zoals quattro, Audi Space Frame en de vijfcilindermotor, ontwerpstudies, stijltrends en successen in de autosport. Alle modellen van A1 tot R8 worden gepresenteerd, evenals de geschiedenis van Auto Union en NSU en de merken Ducati en 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.
