Hire an Audi Super Car

 Audi is a well established automotive company that began as Horch in 1909 in Zwickau, Germany and was founded by August Horch. The company is now a subsidiary of the Volkswagen group and has been since 1964 and the name Audi was introduced in 1965 after the old company kept the Horch name. Over the past number of years the Audi Company has become very well known for its excellent engineering and the creation of new efficient and environmentally friendly technologies such as their impressive Fuel Stratified Injection engines. These fuel saving engines have been incorporated into almost every model of the cars they now create. Earlier technological advances achieved by Audi include the manufacture of a car that had completely galvanized bodywork in order to prevent corrosion.

 Audi have designed and created a selection of cars that fall into the super car class including the S8, RS4, and the RS6. The most obvious super car that Audi have produced is the stunning looking R8 which has recently been given an engine upgrade that saw its original 4.2 litre V8 FSI engine replaced by a Lamborghini 5.2 litre V10 FSI engine. This increased the cars power significantly from 414bhp up to a superb 518bhp.

 Throughout the 1980’s Audi gained an excellent reputation in the world of rally by producing the almost unbeatable turbocharged Audi Quattro. This was the very first rally car to incorporated 4WD which had just been made legal in the sport. Many people believed that these systems would be both heavy and too complex but after a shaky start the Audi Quattro soon provided to be the car to beat.
