Short history of AUDIDial back to the early 20th century, where August Horch founded Audi after his eponymous company, Horch, had a little disagreement over name rights—talk about court-ordered brand distancing.

From there, Audi's history accelerated into an odyssey of innovation and design that even Zeus might nod to.
