2009 marks Audi's centenary year and to commemorate the milestone, a special exhibition has been created at the Audi Museum in Ingolstadt.
Titled 'From Horch to Audi - the history of perfection has a new name', the museum mobile in the Audi Forum will exhibit historic cars that have been collected together from all over Europe and which include no fewer than 13 of the oldest Audis still in existence. amongst these are the Audi Type A, which dates from 1911, the Audi Type E built in 1913 and a particularly important racing example, the "Alpine Victor" - the Audi Type C. Built from 1911 to 1925 this car won the Austrian Alpine Rally - at that time the most challenging event of its kind - three times in succession, the last victory coming in 1914.
More celebrations will take place throughout 2009, including pride of place as the featured marque at the Goodwood Festivasl of Speed in July. We will of course be covering the centenary further but in the meantime enjoy our gallery of some of the greatest cars to have come out of Ingolstadt in the past century.
