Audi
Description
Audi AG, more commonly known as Audi, is a premium German automobile manufacturer and one of the world's leading performance-luxury marques, with headquarters in Ingolstadt, Bavaria. It has been an almost wholly-owned (99.7%) subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group since 1964, and is held in ownership by its shareholders - hence the term "Aktiengesellschaft" or "AG". The company evolved from VW's takeover of both Auto Union, and NSU, the former having incorporated the historic Audi company which was founded in 1910.
Audi's corporate tagline is Vorsprung durch Technik, meaning "Advantage through Technology" or "Leading by (superior) technology". This German-language tagline is also used in other European countries, including the UK, and in other markets, such as Latin America, Oceania and parts of Asia including Japan. The American and Canadian tagline is "Truth in Engineering".
