Audi is a German luxury car manufacturer that has been producing vehicles since 1909. The company was originally founded by August Horch and the name Audi comes from its founder’s surname, which is Latin for “listen.” Today, Audi produces cars in several countries all over the world, but their primary manufacturing base remains in Germany.
