From the Audi Sport quattro to the Audi RS e-tron GT, passing through unique concepts such as the Audi Avus quattro: a forty-year evolutionary path that excites the imagination of enthusiasts, as also underlined by Marc Lichte, head of Audi design: “I was drawing Audi from an early age, and I still remember when I was struck by the Sport quattro. A car that changed my life. At Audi we try to harmonize the relationship between design and technology “. “There is no future without a past – says Enrik Wenders, head of the Audi brand -. Optimism towards the future is a distinctive weapon of the brand, now focused on sustainability and oriented towards the regeneration of our planet”.
