Yep, they were retooling, but there is still alot to be seen in Ingolstadt.
As it turns out I had a last minute business trip to Augsburg/Munich.
I had some free time on Saturday and headed up to Ingolstadt.  They
also have a nice Visitor Center (Audi Center).   They had several cars
on display, primarily 80s in all kinds of varitations, many components 
including the 4-wheel drive system on display and some racing Audis.
There is also the Audi Sport facility, which was closed, that offers
lots of goodies to spice up your Audi (like M-sports for BMW or Sportline
for Mercedes).
