Audi is built on an eventful history, founded in 1909 and driven by the entrepreneurial spirit of August Horch who, when no longer able to use his own family name for a new car business, settled on the legendary name we know today. Beginning with a 2612 cc model, Horch quickly established Audi as a force to be reckoned with before he left in 1920, making way for its eventual purchase by The Volkswagen Auto Group.
