World War II:

During World War II, cars produced by Audi manufacturing facility were used in military purposes. For instance, SD-KFZ 222 armored car was especially used for war functions. This car had V8 engine which had the power to reach up to 50 mph.

KFZ 11 was another Audi car also known as Horch Type 80 that was used as light transport vehicle during World War II.

In few past years, Audi has emerged as a leading technological trendsetter. Audi developed Audi Quattro in 1980. Audi Quattro introduced the vehicle with high performance and having capability of all wheel drive. Now Audi has adopted these features to nearly all types of its vehicles.

Technology:

Although Quattro concept was Audi’s initial modern inventive but Audi did not stop to these technology features and introduced more modern quality attributes in its cars. For instance, Audi introduces light frame (provided by an aluminum space frame body) for its cars. This light frame makes the car more fuel efficient and reduces road vibration and noise as well.
