Default Update on New Magazine

Thanks to everyone who has emailed me. I am on my way to New York so please be assured I will be answering all emails while on the plane.

Have made a slight adjustment to the mag, its only going to cover those higher end brands that are part of the Audi family, which means it will be:

Audi
Lamborghini
Bugatti

I didnt know that Porsche was no longer part of the VAG group, so therefore it will not include coverage of the Porsche marque.

Each issue will include:

Car Tests
Motorsports
Featured Car
New Products
Travel & Lifestyle

Its going to be a full colour magazine and the project is well under way. More posts will be made here as we progress and if you want to become a contributor then please drop me an email to my cellphone at:

ogi@vodafone.net.nz

Cheers and thanks

Ned

Default August Horch founded Audi circa 1910. VWAG controls Audi.

August Horch founded Audi circa 1910. Audi is the Latin translation of "Horch" which means "hark" or "to listen".

Horch founded a car company which later on formed a partnership (Auto Union) with DKW (Deutsche Kraft Wagen), Wander, and NSU. The new companies insignia to show the union of the four companies was the now familiar 4 rings, which are still used by Audi today.

The 2-stroke system was replaced by the 4 stroke one in 1965, a milestone in the engine development. The power of the engines have risen continually, so the company thought about a new drive train concept. Any performance of over 100 KW with front wheel drive shows heavy abrasion on the front tires and dangerous Ferrari effects. The Iltis jeep that had replaced the Munga didn't have those problems and the reason for that was not the minor performance of 75hp, it was the 4 wheel concept, and Quattro was born.

VWAG controls Audi. And Skoda, Bentley, Lamborghini, SEAT, Bugatti and Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge...

-Audi also bought NSU some years back (pre-VW ownership days). They still own the rights to the name. NSU was big with motorcycles, and if VW wanted to crack into that market, the NSU brand would present an interesting option.

VAG stands for "Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft "

Wasn't NSU part of Auto Union, thus 4 rings?
