Audi
By the start of 1970, the large number of customers in America introduced Audi in the international market and began to notice it with the Audi 100LS model. By the end of this decade, the company introduced its new 5000 luxury sedan which replaces the 100LS. In a short span of time, the 5000 sales dropped in the USA taking Audi almost out of business. In March 1980, Audi exposed its new model the ’Audi Quattro’ in the Geneva Motor Show; it was a 4 wheel drive sports vehicle. Quattro got the most interest on the floor and became the visitors’ attraction. This new phase of power and speed had changed Audi’s production in a new range of Sports vehicles. These vehicles were all hand-built by a single team in production and were a great success in off-road racing and rallying. It won tournaments and verified all-wheel drive sports cars ability. Thus, Audi become the brand of adventure and drive thrill in automotive technology.
In the late ‘80s, Audi renamed the 5000 model and the 4000 was also revised. The 5000 was further on split in Audi 100 and 200, the 100 was the non-Turbo and the only front wheel drive and the 200 was equipped with a Turbocharger and five cylinders with all wheel drive. Moving further, the 200 was introduced with a V8 engine which was also known as V8. As the new dawn of the ‘90s arrived, Audi’s new coupé came in the spot light, the A4 and the Cabriolet. Previous models were also renamed such as the 100 and A6. In the meantime, Audi introduced its A8, an eye-catching vehicle with a V8 and aluminum construction. It can be considered as a blend of various models equipped with a high performance engine.
Entering in the new millennium, Audi launched a new Sports model, the TT and introduced a wagon type model, the A6. Most of the customers who were interested in SUVs found it as a new option. Later on, the new versions of A4 and A6 were also introduced with the features of higher performance. At present, the product line of Audi consists of the hot and exotic R8 sports car and the Q5. Company is still progressing in success as the maker of luxury and sports automobiles, and continues to carry the brand name with its impressive and prestigious vision.
