Audi buys last Auto Union Type D twin-supercharged racer

After a great many years dying in the wilderness of the former USSR, and then spending a few more years in the hands of private collectors, the twin-supercharged 1939 Auto Union Type D is finally back home with Audi. One of the precursor companies to Audi, Auto Union, based in Zwickau, Germany, was the other Silver Arrows team (alongside Mercedes-Benz) that demolished the racing competition in the 1930s until World War II intervened.

Audi Tradition, the heritage arm of the firm, says there are five original Auto Union racers in existence. This 1939 model was specially prepped with two superchargers instead of the usual one, and won the 1939 French and Czechoslovakian Grands Prix with its 485-horsepower 12-cylinder engine and 330 kilometer-per-hour (205 mph) top speed. But Zwickau fell in the eastern portion of Germany; caught in the Russian web at the end of WWII, the stored Auto Union cars were carted back to Russia as part of German reparations.

Enter Paul Karassik, an American immigrant from Serbia, of Russian ancestry, who had watched the Auto Unions race in Belgrade just before the outbreak of war. Starting in the 1970s, he spent a decade tracking down the remains of two Auto Unions in Russia and Ukraine – this 1939 model and a 1938 Type D with a single supercharger – and finally managed to buy them. In 1990 he began commissioning their restorations, which included building completely new bodies for both, and by 1994 they were finished.

Karasssik sold the 1938 Type D to Audi in 1998, and the 1939 Type D to another collector in 2000. Audi Tradition has made that second car part of its collection, meaning it now owns three of the five originals. Scroll down for a press release with all the details on the car and the acquisition.

Audi introduces first-ever digital rear-view mirror

Audi’s upcoming electric R8 e-tron supercar will come loaded with the latest luxury amenities and technological features, including a first for the automotive industry: a digital rear-view mirror.  

The 7-inch color AMOLED screen from Samsung will display a high-resolution, high-contrast picture, which will have the same high definition day and night. The carmaker is now considering adding other data to the display.

The screen is connected to an innocuous camera set up at the back of the vehicle, and the whole device will be able to display what's going on behind the car at a wider angle than with classic rear-view mirrors.

Unlike other sales people ( not at Audi) we have come across in the past, who we did not buy from. Bill wass not in the least bit patronizing to a female buyer." - Boris B.

The A6 has won the International Design Excellence Award for 2012

The Audi A6 Sedan has won one of the most prestigious design awards in the United States, taking the International Design Excellence Award 2012 (IDEA) for its innovative design idiom. The A6 family also scooped another accolade this month with the red dot award.

The A6 Sedan managed to beat off international competition to receive the Silver Award in the ‘Transportation’ category of the International Design Excellence Award 2012. Audi Head of Design Wolfgang Egger is delighted that the model not only appeals to customers in Europe: “The award demonstrates that our design idiom is also understood and goes down well in the United States.” Apart from the model’s dynamic looks, the jury from the Industrial Designers Society of America also singled out the successful interplay of design idiom and innovative technology in the A6 Sedan. Egger explained: “To us, our brand claim ‘Vorsprung durch Technik’ means that it is extremely important to perfectly match technology and design.”This year marked the 32nd anniversary of the IDEA awards in the United States. The jury is made up of 19 high-ranking experts from business, universities and design circles.

In addition to the IDEA award, the Audi A6 family also won the red dot award. The A6 Sedan, the A6 Avant and the A6 allroad quattro impressed the international jury with their outstanding design quality. The Audi Design Team collected the coveted benchmark of quality during the red dot presentation ceremony in Essen on July 2.
