Top 9 Quickest Audis Ever Made
Audi is synonymous with luxury, technology, and speed. All of their cars are made to cruise on the Autobahn at more than triple digit miles per hour, and most can run over 150 mph. Here's the 9 quickest in recent history.
Tradition of speed and technology
The Audi brand has been synonymous with luxury for most of the brand's life. Few realize, however, that before WWII, Audi dominated much of the racing scene and held many world records for outright speed. Then, during the war years they stopped producing cars all together. That all changed in 1965 when VW rebooted the iconic brand and turned it into their upscale luxury brand. The winds of changed billowed again in the 1980s when Audi re-entered into the high performance fray with the technologically advanced, turbocharged Quattro line. Audi was back and in a big way, and here are the fastest Audi's available without a prescription, in the modern era.
