When it comes to Audi vehicles, most people tend to think of a rich racing history full of superior power and handling. This legacy began over four decades ago, starting with the invention of Audi’s revolutionary 5-cylinder engine.
The Audi Sport video above, recently released by Audi USA, journeys through the years as Audi engineers and racers share how this historic engine shaped Audi into what we know and love today. Beginning in 1973, Audi was able to create an amazing 5-cylinder engine that produced a staggering amount of power in their racing vehicles. Over the years, the distinct sound of the Audi engine could be heard around the world as it dominated both rally courses and racetracks. With multiple titles won and a record breaking run during the 1987 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, Audi became an unstoppable force in the world of racing. After a 20 year absence, the Audi 5-cylinder engine has finally been brought into the modern world and continues its legacy in the newest Audi Sport vehicles like the 2018 RS3 and TTRS.
