5 things to know about Audi’s ‘Vorsprung durch Technik’ slogan

MANILA: Audi celebrated its 50th anniversary since it first verbalized its corporate philosophy through the “Vorsprung durch Technik” slogan, which means “progress through technology.” To celebrate this milestone, Audi AG Board Member for Technical Development Oliver Hoffman enumerated five things that every Audi fan should know about Vorsprung durch Technik.

Audi 80 instilled Vorsprung durch Technik

The first model to capture the Vorsprung durch Technik slogan is the Audi 80 that came with an innovative engine which is still presently used. The Audi 80 also featured lightweight technology just like the current Audi models. When Audi dominated rally racing in the early 1980s with the Quattro, the Vorsprung durch Technik slogan was already a decade old.

Quattro-powered motorsports boosted Vorsprung

The all-wheel drive quattro technology helped improve Vorsprung by transferring the knowledge earned from motor racing to series production cars. Audi’s participation in motorsports events served as a kind of test lab under extreme conditions, from where it drew new ideas and components.

Design plays a significant role in Vorsprung

High-quality, innovative solutions help improve everyday life. For instance, when electric vehicle stations are paired with the right infrastructure, they become capable of fast charging. Good vehicle design can also enable intelligent lighting technology and lightweight construction.

Vorsprung provides end-to-end mobility solutions

Audi was able to attain shorter development cycles as it develops cars at the kind of pace that the 21st-century digital society expects. Audi focuses on end-to-end mobility solutions that also cover the essential infrastructure. One example is the fast-charging hub pilot project that is set to be unveiled soon. This solution can be flexibly rolled out in different locations to cater the potential spikes in demand in the future. In pursuing Vorsprung, Audi aims to help in the development of the society.

Vorsprung transforms to electromobility

The most phenomenal transformation that the auto industry has ever undergone is the shift toward electromobility. With the goal to be the best in its class, Audi continues to expand its scope of electrification as it plans to launch more than 20 all-electric models by 2025. Among these models is the new Audi RS e-tron GT, the brand’s flagship for electric premium mobility.
