image: Getty, Gernot Döllner, CEO of Audi, shared high hopes for the sub-brand, with China having the largest new car market in the world at around 26 million models sold each year in 2023, He explained: "The automotive industry is undergoing the largest transformation in its history. With our partnerships in China, we are playing a decisive role in this transformation." Originally used by Auto Union, the four interlocked rings within the emblem are meant to represent the four German car brands Audi, Chemnitz, DKW, and Horch, who were all part of an alliance at the time, hopefully Audi will continue using the 4 ring logo for the rest of the world, but one has to ask why drop the logo? for the full story have a look here.
