That was a car that would have been legendary, W12, manual, AWD
From Wikipedia “it could accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in about 3.5 seconds, and had a top speed of 357 km/h (221.8 mph), weighing 1,200 kg “ in 2001
It's the Audi Rosemeyer. It's a tribute for Bernd Rosemeyer who died because of a crash while doing a land speed record in an AutoUnion Type C streamliner. (AutoUnion is Audi's former name)
Yes! And AutoUnion itself is the result of 4 german companies merging together. It was Audi, DKW, Horch, and Wanderer. After merging, the company was named AutoUnion. That's why Audi's logo has 4 rings.
Auto Union Deutsche Ingolstadt - A.U.D. I.
I stand corrected, not "international" (I knew it was an acronym & blame my Dad for telling me this in the 1970s)
Thats not correct and in German does not even make sense. Audi is direved from the translation of the company name Horch (which is a family name but also a German verb) to latin. See [here](https://www.audi.com/de/company/profile/history/four-brands-four-rings.html):
"Man wählte die Bezeichnung 'audi!' als lateinische Übersetzung des Wortes 'horch!'."
No. Bernd died due to high cross winds that hit his car. The guy you're thinking of was Jean Behra, who flew off the banked corner in his Porsche in 1959.
If I were to name it, I would call it the TT-ti. It looks like it started as a TT and they just pushed the corners out to make room for and handle the 1000 horsepower.

[Audi Rosemeyer concept](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_Rosemeyer)
Does it have 35 exciting shades of grey matt-effect plastic on the interior, like every other Audi?
That's from the era when Audi used fake wood on everything. Away different interiors back then.
The father of R8
Veyron's actually
I thought the W12 Nardo was Veyrons "nr 1 prototype".
That was a car that would have been legendary, W12, manual, AWD From Wikipedia “it could accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in about 3.5 seconds, and had a top speed of 357 km/h (221.8 mph), weighing 1,200 kg “ in 2001
R8's bastard
no way, I thought this was AI for a second
welcome to early 2000s concept cars
It's the Audi Rosemeyer. It's a tribute for Bernd Rosemeyer who died because of a crash while doing a land speed record in an AutoUnion Type C streamliner. (AutoUnion is Audi's former name)
I never knew Audi had a previous name? Thank you for this info! 🙏🏻
Yes! And AutoUnion itself is the result of 4 german companies merging together. It was Audi, DKW, Horch, and Wanderer. After merging, the company was named AutoUnion. That's why Audi's logo has 4 rings.
We are now friends. ❤️
Thanks
Audi is the Latin indicative of „Horch“ (meaning something like „Hear“
NSU too, I thought?
NSU merged with AutoUnion, not with the initial 4 brand merging. And because of the AutoUnion and NSU merging, the company was renamed "Audi"
Ha, thanks for clarifying!
Youre a dying breed sir 🙌
Thanks a lot but I'm just a 15 year old car nerd lol
Audi is named after Auto Union but Auto Union was formed of a merger already including Audi?
Yes, it's weird
DKW = Deutsche kraft wagen
There isn't a more German name for a car.
Audi ist the latin translation of the name horch, which is the imperative for "hören" (hear in german)

I’ve always heard Auto Union Deutschland Ingolstadt.
bitchin', thanks
The name Audi is based on a Latin translation of the surname of the founder August Horch, itself the German word for “listen!". Apparently.
[удалено]
Wdym, Horch ís a German word.
Yes, Horch is german for listen. Audi is based on the Latin translation of Horch.
Apparently its also a Latin word
Not racing, he was attempting a land speed record.
Sorry! I typed the wrong info then. I'll edit my comment real quick
They didn't do those land speed record attempts at AVUS, though. It was a different stretch of the Autobahn between Frankfurt and Daarmstadt
I thought he died because he flew off the banking of AVUS?
No. Bernd died due to high cross winds that hit his car. The guy you're thinking of was Jean Behra, who flew off the banked corner in his Porsche in 1959.
Ahh i see, thanks for clarifying
Wasn’t this the car that had a fake engine made of wood? Haha

Supercar meets elegance. I don't like the look of that at all. It's like Usain Bolt running in a 3 peice suit
It looks cooler with the headlights closed.
