One of the largest and most successful German automotive concerns has seen a chic development in recent years. Audi brand cars have always been considered a premium class, under the wing of the huge Audi-Volkswagen corporation, this brand has received great opportunities to use the most the best technologies, the most successful solutions in the technical and design part. It is these features of the car that attract their customers, despite the ever-increasing price tags and incredible equipment, in which you can find a lot of unnecessary parts. Audi today competes with BMW and is also one of the main rivals of Japanese and American luxury brands. It is this fate that the current features of the growth of the corporation envisage.

Among the first questions that potential car buyers ask is the question of assembling cars. Many people think that all Audi models are like cars. premium segment are assembled exclusively in Germany. In fact, the brand has a mass of assembly plants around the world, which explains its prevalence both on the distant shores of the Atlantic and in the difficult Australian market. It is also an interesting fact that Audi cars are today officially recognized as the best purchase in the secondary market, which increases their popularity due to the proven quality and huge service life. Let's look at the main features of the assembly of cars of this German brand.

Geographic distribution of Audi cars

The automotive companies that make up the Volkswagen AG group are incredibly widespread all over the world. Today it is one of the largest geographic concerns, which successfully operates on almost all continents. In most cases, outside of Germany, only SKD machines take place, the main production assets are located within the European country. As for Audi cars, the company offers a wide assembly geography. The largest enterprises outside of Germany are located in North America, one of the first markets for the purchase of these vehicles. In general, in the world you can find companies related to Audi in the following countries:

• Germany - more than ten factories of different directions and large research and engineering centers;
• USA - the largest assembly and production site with its own model range and technical features;
• Brazil - five enterprises that produce SKD for all Latin American countries;
• Argentina and Mexico are two other Latin countries where some models are assembled;
• South Africa - almost the entire model range for Africa is assembled at a large plant in this country;
• India and Malaysia are Asian concerns created to reduce the cost of some production processes;
• China is a huge division of Audi that designs and manufactures engines, bodies and all other parts for cars in Asia;
• Slovakia and Belgium - some engineering developments for the concern are carried out in these countries.

There are also assembly facilities for Audi cars in Russia, but they are not very common. The Volkswagen AG plant in Kaluga today assembles the Audi A6 and the Audi A8, two of the most popular sedans in their class for the Russian market. In most cases, these machines are sold to businesses or politicians, so the corporation left mass assembly in our country. The remaining models, which were previously assembled in Russia, left our conveyors and are exported to the country from Europe. This caused a slight increase in the price of cars, but the quality has increased significantly. Let's face it, the Kaluga assembly needs certain changes in technological process. This is evidenced by the deteriorating reviews of the new popular A6 sedans.

The main assembly features of the Audi concern

The company has time to monitor all its divisions. The concern conducts strict quality control of the assembly, which is what caused the removal of some Audi models from Russian production, in particular the Q5 and Q7 crossovers. Customers expect more from a company than just good quality. In Europe, the assembly of Audi takes place in full, every detail of the future vehicle is subject to strict certification. It is worth noting that the corporation is actively developing technologies that will later be successfully inherited by other brands of the concern. Today, the main tasks and principles of the company are as follows:

• the highest quality of cars, the absence of any childhood diseases in new developments;
• extended testing of each technology that is introduced into the technical or functional part of the machines;
• certification of each individual piece of equipment, testing and grinding of parts at the factory;
• maximum automation of production even in those countries where it is more profitable to use manual labor;
• assembly control, which is carried out by German experts at each plant where Audi is assembled;
• multi-stage system for selecting materials for the interior, high-quality plastic and excellent layout;
• the most modern design features, a constant competition among the best designers of the company.

Audi is one of the few brands that does not have one permanent design office. The corporation collects a competitive submission from different departments of its designers, and then selects the best practices. However, other projects do not remain idle, because the company has brands such as Volkswagen, Skoda and Seat, which are less picky about the appearance of their equipment. That is why Audi always has the best design features among those presented to the management to choose from. However, this is a rather subjective field of activity, because someone likes the Spanish Seat much more than the classic stylish image of Audi.

New models - smart development of technology from Audi

Not a single model lingers today on the conveyor of a corporation for more than five years. Yes, and five years for such cars can be quite a long time. Therefore, in most cases, the corporation offers an updated style of its cars even before the old design becomes irrelevant. Many potential buyers are surprised at how quickly the design range of cars is being updated, but this is not too much of a concern for the company's picky management. In 2015, the corporation introduced quite big row new products and restylings, the main attention among which is attracted by the following updates:

• Audi RS4 Avant- big station wagon co sports performance and futuristic design, rigid suspension and powerful engines, costs from 4,700,000 rubles;
• Audi RS5 Coupe - a chic sports car with incredible style and very advanced technology, the car is able to surprise with sporty dynamics and a price of 4,800,000 rubles;
• Audi S6 Avant- new model with sporty inclinations, low ground clearance and amazing dynamics, chic engines make the trip unforgettable, and the price is raised to 4,480,000 rubles;
• Audi Q3 and RS Q3 are amazing compact crossovers with a real zeal for the future, not only in design, but also in the technical part, the cars start at a price of 1,615,000 and 2,990,000 rubles, respectively;
• Audi Q7 - generation-changing large crossover takes center stage model range companies, optimal appearance and improved equipment began to cost from 3,630,000 rubles.

Do not forget about such designer models as the Audi TTS Coupe and Audi R8 Coupe. These are the most expensive and unique representatives cars from the German concern, which proved their right to exist with unexpectedly high sales worldwide. New developments in the design of the automobile concern are becoming even more aggressive, the company offers more and more interesting features and presents unforgettable features of the technical part of its cars. Development does not stop even for a second, so next year we will look at the Audi lineup with completely different eyes. We invite you to be surprised by the new Audi technology watching a test drive Q7 2015 model year:

Summing up

A different look at Audi cars can provide both unexpected surprise and disappointment. Someone liked the soft flowing lines premium sedans early 2000s, some prefer the unique sharp and aggressive design of the current generation of cars. But we can safely say that the company is growing faster than its competitors, offering more affordable models with no less exciting technology under the hood. Also, it will not be superfluous to notice the unique developments of the corporation, which amaze the imagination with their capabilities.

It is still difficult to predict what will be the further development of geography Volkswagen AG and Audi. But it can be unmistakably said that the growth and expansion of the corporation is inevitable. Today we see the future in the machines of this company. All European concerns are trying to imitate the technical and visual developments that the German luxury brand offers. And how do you feel about the modern style and features of the development of the technical part car company Audi?

Audi was founded in 1910 by a young engineer, August Horch. This was his second attempt to start his own business: the first company, Horch & Co, was created back in 1899. However, in 1909 he was forced to leave Horch & Co by court order. The reason was disagreements with partner creditors.

Horch's new company, founded in the town of Chemnitz, at first, like the previous one, bore his name. When the city authorities found out about this, the court assigned a different name to the new company, "Audi". Some sources claim that one of Horch's business partners came up with it. He simply suggested using the same word, "Horch" (which means "listen" in German), but in the Latin version - "Audi".

The Audi logo is four silver rings. They symbolize the 1932 merger of four companies - DKW, Audi, Horch and Wanderer - into the Auto Union automobile concern. At first, the Audi emblem was installed only on cars designed for racing, and on production models flaunted nameplates - specially made plates.

Pre-war history of "Audi"

Audi-A was the firstborn of the new company. It came out in 1910. The next one was the Audi-B. This model was raced in Austria. The 2.5 thousand km long route passed through the Alps. In 1912, in Auto Alpenfart (as the Austrian races were called), the Audi-S proved to be excellent. This model was later called "Alpenziger", which means "Conqueror of the Alps".

Financial problems began with the firm in the twenties. First, she merged with another, then both became the property of Jörgen Skafte Rasmussen. The same problems forced small manufacturers to create the Auto Union concern in 1932. It included, among others, both companies created by Horch. True, by this time he himself had not been engaged in production for a long time (since 1916).

The concern produced two front-wheel drive models equipped with Wanderer engines. They were in demand and sold well until the war began.

Audi after the war

The Auto Union concern was nationalized at the end of the war. A major reform took place in 1949, when the basic rights of Auto Union were transferred to Mercedes-Benz. Then the controlling stake passed several times from one company to another. The Audi brand disappeared for several years.

The name Audi reappeared only in 1965, when Volkswagen took ownership of the shares. The four circles assigned by Audi since the merger of the four firms (1932) are emblazoned on the hoods of all models of this car.

By 1968 year Audi was introduced to the markets in a wide range. Its sales have grown steadily.

Being the "daughter" of the famous Volkswagen, Audi gained worldwide fame largely thanks to the "Audi Quattro" model. This car had athletic appearance"and all-wheel drive. It was light, fast and amazingly stable. Few people could compete with the Quattro, which was confirmed by the results of several auto races.

Since 1958, the company has been called Audi AG. The German automotive company is part of Volkswagen composition Group is one of the most powerful world concerns.

The production of cars is increasing year by year. Since the 10th year of our century, it has exceeded 1 million pieces.

The Audi lineup is very extensive. It is represented by executive class cars, and racing cars, and supercars, and crossovers.

Thanks to its excellent technical characteristics, Audi is very popular, including in Russia. It should be noted that not only new cars are in demand here. The sale of the model is also excellent in the secondary car markets. And for especially ardent fans of German cars, you can advise special gadgets for your computer, such as a Mercedes flash drive.

CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT

In 1969 Neckarsulmer Automobilwerke bought the major shares of Volkswagen, which included Audi. The history of the company's creation indicates that at one time the company had the name Audi NSU Auto Union, but in 1985 it returned to the classic Audi AG.

The strategy of the renewed firm was to organize sales to the United States. It happened in 1970, and the first car that went to another continent was the Audi Super 90. This station wagon immediately got support from users. Later, their ranks were replenished with the Audi 80 model, which had slightly improved characteristics for buyers in the USA. After that, the real models received their designation in this market - Audi 80 and Audi 4000, respectively.

BACK TO START

In the 80s, some irregularities in the company's work were discovered, so its sales level fell sharply in the US regions. The year 1980 was remembered for the introduction to the market of a big novelty in the form of an all-wheel drive sports class coupe. Previously similar model was Audi Quattro, which used the drive system of trucks.

The creation of this model was indicated in 1977, when, during tests by the Bundeswehr, the flagship VW Iltis attracted everyone's attention. It had excellent ride quality on ice and snow, so it was decided to implement such a system in Audi cars 80. This model received a reinforced version with a 5-cylinder and 2.2-liter turbo engine, the power of which was 147 kW, or 200 horsepower.

The history of the company remembers the introduction into mass production of machines with all-wheel drive. Later, the quattro concept was also offered with other Audi flagships. On the basis of this car, a sports class coupe was launched Audi Coupe which appeared in 1993. Later it was decided to use the original body, which would complement the lineup. This vehicle remained one of the best of its kind for a long time until it was withdrawn from sale in 2000. In general, the total number of manufactured units amounted to 72 thousand.

One of the models that the history of the brand remembered was the Audi 100. Its feature was the use of a six-cylinder V-type engine. This unit is considered the lightest among model line. But the Audi A4 saw its buyer in 1994. In the same year, the company created the RS2 Avant, a five-seat car with a 315-horsepower fuel-injected turbo engine.

A year later, the presentation of the new flagships took place in Frankfurt am Main. The flagship Audi S4/S4 Avante/RS4 was a striking modification for the "sport" segment at that time. He used a 2.7 V6 biturbo engine for his work, which was able to produce 380 hp. from.

NEW GENERATION

The history of the concern saw a universal body for the new flagships in 1998. In order to focus on the development and production of such vehicles, it was decided to discontinue the production of the C4 series. Since the company began the production of fundamentally new machines in a short period of time, this was the beginning of the release of a new class B family.

But 1998 was also remembered for the premiere of the Audi TT, which had a coupe-type body. He was seen in Geneva, positively accepting the novelty. A year later, the same fate befell the roadster, which was shown in Frankfurt am Main. In 1999, the Audi A3 sports model was modified, which received a turbocharged engine and an all-wheel drive transmission. The Audi S8 is an analogue of the famous racing car, but it has a 4.2 V8 engine using all-wheel drive.

Cars currently in production were originally produced under the Auto Union brand. The takeoff of the company occurred after the Second World War thanks to the purchase of all shares by Daimler-Benz AG. In 1964, Auto Union became a subsidiary of Volkswagen. Thanks to their joint activities, the concern produced many iconic cars, such as the Audi 100 (popularly called it a cigarette), Audi 80, Audi Q7 and many others.

The company is still not losing ground in the automotive market, producing more and more premium cars, an example of which is the new Audi A8.
