For the last 50 years, Audi has lived by a simple yet powerful philosophy: "Vorsprung durch Technik," which translates to "Progress through Technology." This iconic slogan has become synonymous with Audi and represents their commitment to continuous improvement, innovation, and pushing the boundaries of automotive engineering. As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Vorsprung durch Technik, let's take a journey through the milestones, history, and achievements that have defined this philosophy and made Audi a true leader in the automotive industry.
A Legacy of Innovation
Audi's journey with Vorsprung durch Technik began in 1971 when the company merged with Auto Union GmbH and Neckarsulmer NSU Motorenwerke. This merger laid the foundation for Audi's diverse range of models.
Over the years, the slogan evolved and was adapted in different ways, but it always returned to its original message. In 1980, with the introduction of the Audi Quattro, the slogan gained even more prominence and became a clear part of Audi's identity. The Audi Quattro, with its revolutionary all-wheel-drive system, not only led to rally successes but also represented the transfer of racing experience into serial production. This milestone marked a significant turning point for Audi and set the stage for future technological advancements.
