Audi tuning, wheels and exhaust

Audi history

Just like other manufacturers, Audi AG also looks back on a long and sometimes difficult company history. August Horch was after the separation from his A.Horch & Cie engines works in Zwickau in the search for a new company name and so it can that a son of a friend heard the imperative singular of the Latin word for, Audi, as a proposal. In 1910 Audi Automobilwerke GmbH Zwickau was registered in the commercial register. In 1928, the company was founded by Zschopauer Motorenwerke J.S. Rasmussen AG, which was particularly known for the DKW brand. Until the beginning of war the models C from 1913, the type SS in 1930 and the model 920 in 1939 had been produced. After the end of the second world war, Auto Union GmbH, headquartered in Ingolstadt, was founded in 1949.

Initially, models for the DKW brand were still developed there, and only 16 years later did the Audi brand be used again. In 1969 the company merged with NSU AG, based in Neckarsulm. Both brand names merged with Audi NSU Auto Union AG. In the history of both companies there are classics such as the F103, which was later available in the designation Audi 60 and Audi Super 90, the RO80, the NSU prince and the DKW front car. From the end of the sixties, the Audi models carried simple names, e.g. Audi 100, Audi 50, Audi 80 and Audi 90.

The Audi 100 is today called A6, the Audi 80 as A4 and the luxury version V8, which has been available since the end of the 80s, is offered today as the top version A8. With the acquisition by Volkswagen AG, the expansion of the same platforms and engines for VW, Bentley, Lamborghini, Seat, Skoda and Audi models began in 1999. With the A3, the first compact car from the Audi portfolio was based on the floor and engine group of the then VW Golf IV. From this successful synergy, modular systems for the production of all models of the Group Group grew. Thus it was also possible to place in all niche models.

Modern car technology meets the tuner

Today, the Audi model range includes 13 different types, which are further subdivided by S and RS designations. The numbers of new registrations in Germany are growing steadily since 2003, worldwide and particularly in the USA and China, annual records for jubilation in Ingolstadt. Wheelsandmore from Baesweiler has also been dedicated to the S and RS models for many years and now has an extensive tuning portfolio for the vehicles from the RS4, RS5 and RS6 series. In 2007, the tuner developed the multi-piece forged rims, especially for the Audi R8, which at that time was already a multi-piece forged, and presented exhaust exhaust systems, which had to be switched by volume. Chassis solutions from H & R and also KW supplemented the tuning portfolio, whereby the hydraulically adjustable coilover from KW represented the TOP solution for the noble vehicle.
