Press release :

Audi Tradition - new presence on the Internet
.
Model evolution and motorsport milestones
.
Company chronicle "Four Rings - the Audi Story" as e-journal
.
Exciting videos and sound

Ingolstadt, May 12, 2010 - Audi Tradition now has a new Internet presence
online at www.audi.de/tradition, and in English at www.audi.com/history. The
new Internet pages provide an interesting insight into the eventful history
of AUDI AG with its brands Audi, DKW, Horch, Wanderer, Auto Union and NSU.
This is a presentation of "Vorsprung durch Technik" going back more than a
century.

The evolution of models from 1901 to 1990 is shown simply and directly with
the aid of a large number of photographs and explanatory text. Information
on all the earlier companies and brands is provided, together with important
motorsport milestones. Emotive videos, pioneering advertising films and rare
sound recordings complete the presentation. The company chronicle "Four
Rings - the Audi Story" can be called up as an e-journal. The latest news
and event dates from Audi Tradition keep classic car fans informed about
special exhibitions at Audi museum mobile or wherever historic automobiles
and racing cars such as the Auto Union Silver Arrows can be seen at classic
car events. The online shop for spare parts makes it easier to track down
and purchase the necessary spare parts (www.audi.de/tradition-parts).

The four rings of the Audi badge symbolise the brands Audi, DKW, Horch and
Wanderer, which were combined to form Auto Union in 1932. Auto Union and
NSU, which merged in 1969, both made many significant contributions towards
the development of the car. AUDI AG was formed from Audi NSU Auto Union AG
in 1985. Together with the two traditional companies Auto Union GmbH and NSU
GmbH, Audi Tradition has nurtured the extensive, diverse history of Audi for
many years and presented it to the public. The Audi museum mobile at the
Audi Forum Ingolstadt is open daily from Monday to Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 6
p.m. The August Horch Museum in Zwickau is open from Tuesday to Sunday from
9.30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
