Book Description

0837603846 978-0837603841 April 2003
A History of Progress chronicles the fascinating history of the Audi AG, from its beginnings in Germany in 1909 to its unique place in the market today. This detailed walk through Audi's accomplishments covers all of the company's changes through the years. The entire Audi "family tree" is examined in detail-Wanderer, DKW, Horch, Audi, Auto Union, NSU-with the models built by each manufacturer, their participation in motor sports, and bios of the people who made the company what it is today.

You'll learn about the Audi UV of 1934, the Wanderer W21 of 1933, and the Horch 853 and its role in Audi's success in the automotive industry. Enthusiasts can read about the early years and the growth after the company's successful efforts in both marketing and manufacturing, the motorcycles and bicycles that helped in the lean years, the modern all-aluminum show cars, and the new A4 and V8 quattro. You'll see how Audi has built its reputation on motor sports success, from its first win in the International Austrian Alpine Run in 1911, to the spectacular sixteen-cylinder Auto Union racers of the 30s, to motorcycle speed record holders, and the quattro rally and touring car champions of recent years.

A History of Progress contains hundreds of rare factory photos and illustrations, presenting Audi's past and present in a hardcover, high quality book. Whether you are an Audi owner, enthusiast or automotive historian, A History of Progress belongs on your bookshelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars Master of The Four Rings, May 23, 2000
This review is from: A History of Progress: Audi: Chronicle of Audi AG (Hardcover)
As the title indicates, this book focuses on the history of Audi. And what a history it is. I have read much poorer tries to explain the difficult amalgamation of The Four Rings than this one, actually the authors do a very good job in explaining the complex story. With an elegant twist they have separated the actual progress from the different car-models that have been released over the years, thus making history clearer.

The strongest side of this book is the accurate, detailed information in every chapter, with a lot of nice footage. Especially the post-war story is impressive in every sense.

On the other hand, as this book is written inhouse at Audi AG in Germany, almost every sign of critisism is wiped out of the book, except where it cannot hurt to mention the flaws anymore.

The last star in my rating will be given when Audi adds color-photos to the book! There is also one other point I would like to mention, though it's a bit on the side: In the next issue, please use the German names for the different companies mentioned in the book!

All in all, A History of Progress : Chronicle of the Audi Ag is the best book I have read on the matter. This book is well worth the money for all lovers of Audi, except for those only interested in the last two or three decades.
