LMP cars never went hillclimb racing. VW on the other hand built the IDR (the full electric one, mind you VOLKWAGEN not audi) with zero restrictions.

[@NakiriX1]

@@jdktoo well let me copy paste this from the OFFICIAL AUDI MEDICENTER. "The Audi R18 e-tron quattro is Audi’s hybrid pioneer in racing. In 2012, Audi was the first manufacturer to enter a hybrid sports car in the newly incepted FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). In 2012 and 2013, the company won the drivers’ and manufacturers’ titles in the WEC with its drivers. In the Le Mans 24 Hours, the diesel-electric hybrid drive remained unbeaten three consecutive times from 2012 to 2014". the audi r18 etron is a HYBRID, AUDI SAID IT. the rear wheels are driven by the diesel V6 and the front were driven by the electric motors that older version got their power from the KERS and later switched to having a battery powering those front wheels alongside the diesel.

The Green Audi: The Audi 50 is a small car with a four-cylinder petrol engine and front-wheel drive. The Audi NSU Auto Union AG vehicle (internally: Type 86) was produced from summer 1974 to mid-1978. It was largely identical in construction to the less well-equipped VW Polo I, which was built from 1975 to 1981

[@stephanefarnes6398]

I had 3 and they are fun

[@5co756]

Is'nt that practically a Golf or Polo mk1 ?

[@Arch_Angelus]

@@5co756 Yes, first came the Audi 50, then the VW Polo as a weaker and cheaper variant. Why ? because: VW AG is the parent company of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand and the subsidiaries Seat, Škoda Auto and Audi, as well as the luxury brands Bentley, Ducati (motorcycles), Lamborghini and Porsche. From 2007 to 2011, the Group also expanded its commercial vehicle division (trucks and buses) with the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles division to include the companies MAN and Scania. FROM WIKI: With simple equipment and a smaller engine, the VW Polo was launched in spring 1975 as an economy version of the Audi 50. Its engine produced 29 kW (40 hp) from a displacement of 900 cm³, the stroke having been reduced from 72 to 59 mm. Instead of an automatic starter on the carburetor, as in the Audi, there was a manually operated choke. The Polo only had drum brakes on the front axle and cross-ply tires as standard. It was not until the following year that more powerful engines and better equipment were also offered for the Polo. At the beginning of 1977, the Derby notchback variant, which was also developed at Audi in Ingolstadt, was added to the Polo, which continued to be built.

[@lonewolf1300]

Fun fact . Audi was the first manufacturer to win lemans with a diesel engine ,and as a celebration they put the "same" engine on street legal cars like the Q7 V12 TDI and almost into the R8. Shouldn't forget about that audi was also the first at lemans to win the endurance championship using a hybrid car!

[@gustavmeyrink_2.0]

The year previously to Audi winning with the diesel engine they ran a diesel under the Caterpillar name in a Lola chassis. It was known that the car would not finish the race as there were no gearboxes available able to cope with the torque of that engine. In due course the car retired with a broken gearbox.

[@deaniliev7648]

It was actually a VW V10 diesel engine tuned by Caterpillar that Lola used in 2004 24 hours of Le Mans.

[@pistonburner6448]

Fun fact: Audi copied what BMW had done in other endurance races. BMW had already won endurance races with their diesel BMW 320d, proving the concept. Then Audi went to the dying LeMans series owner and essentially bribed him to give Volkswagen rules which favour their upcoming diesel entry. LeMans was near bankruptcy, basically all manufacturers had abandoned the series, and Audi coming in and bringing big bucks was too much for the LeMans owner to turn down and so they essentially "gave Audi the series" for a number of years. It was all just a big Audi-circus, with the rules known to Audi beforehand and tailored to be exactly what they wanted, giving them an insurmountable advantage compared to everyone else. Not to mention the fact that Audi came in with a massive budget, and not even really entering the series themselves but just paying the most successful existing team to do their operations for them. And they were against little private teams on minuscule budgets.

[@pfalzgraf7527]

Once again, I would suggest to you with your car-fandom that you come to the South of Germany. That would probably mean you take a direct flight to Munich. In Munich you have BMW - factory and museum. If you go west, you come to Ingolstadt - just what you are looking at in this video. A bit further west (less than 2 hours by car, I think) is Neu-Ulm with the Magirus/IVECO museum. And finally in Stuttgart you have Daimler Benz, central factories and the museum - and the same again for Porsche in another suburb of Stuttgart. Along the way, you also have lots of great buildings in Munich, the Minster with the world's highest church tower in Ulm (sister city of Neu-Ulm across the river in the next state) and .. and ... and! I'd LOVE to get videos from all of that and more! Also: the beers that are on the less bitter side come mostly from the South.

[@brusecco]

… and while being in the munich area, one should take a trip to Pfaffenhausen in the Unterallgäu, to visit RUF Automobile (and our gorgeous landscape)!

[@IWrocker]

That sounds like a dream trip!! 🎉 I would truly love to make that happen

[@Nobodyisperfect-us6pk]

@@IWrocker If you are in Munich, also visit the "Deutsche Museum Verkehr" ("German Museum for Traffic" if you like dozens of cars, trams and trains, so many iconic trains...) Dop not forget the BMW Museum near to the Olympia park and on the other site of the street, do not miss the BMW world with few historical cars but so many motor bikes and cars from BMW, Rollce Royce and Mini (and all of the restaurants e,g,). This is something for everyone, and you can sit on all motorbikes (if you will be there with your family, do not miss it). If you like planes, do not miss the "Deutsche Museum Flugwerft Schleißheim" north of Munich. In Ingolstadt north of Munich is AUDI with the "AUDI museum mobile"; you have seen in this video only the paternoster lift, of course there are many other historic and recent cars from Horch, DKW, Wanderer, NSU, Auto Union, AUDI, motor bikes, trucks, racing cars and the regular cars. I was already 3x times there...Ingolstadt as city and the "historic army museum" are worth to visit. And important, but you can not recognice it in this video. All the racing cars in the paternoster lift are regular few times a year in show racings, but they are not regular washed. These cars go into the paternoster with all the racing dirt on it, flies sticking on the car front, tar and rubber rests sticking on the car e.g. From 1 meter distance, you can see it with your own eyes. (and I know of a storage park house on the AUDI factory area nearby with 10 times the number of historic and AUDI, Horch e.g cars and racing cars, we will never be able to get there and to visit it). Stuttgart: Porsche Museum with all of the historic cars, racing cars and the iconic 911 Hybrid Evo, the Mercedes Museum. Stuttgart is few hundred km to the west from Munich. By bad luch with no public access (I have to visit it once in my live...) Opel exhibition/museum in Ruesselsheim (near Frankfurt) inside of the OPEL factory, with around 200 cars, motorbikes e.g, but this is only accessible for OPEL workers. All these museums are next to the factories. And if you are there in the south of Germany; do not miss the cities of Bamberg, Regensburg, Augsburg and my personal favorite: Schwaebisch Hall.

A fact pple don't know is that audi was originally named horch after it's CEO, but he got fired from his company. He went ahead to create another company called Audi. The four rings on the Audi grille represent a company: Audi, Horch, Auto Union and Wanderer.

[@pok81]

not only some random name.. but literally his last name's translation into latin. The Latin word audi means ... hör(e)! or horch(e)! .... coming from audire - hören (like in audio) . So as he wasnt allowed to use his name for the new company he just translated it into latin and got his last name in a different language. 😉

[@leumas.banks43]

​@@pok81,yeah and because horchë means Audi in Latin which in turn means audio, he ended up using Audi 😂😂😂. Very funny story.

[@Un4Given71]

The history of Audi is a bit complicated, but very interesting. And probably the explanation for why there are motorsycles at the Audi museum. Short story: In the 30's Audi, DKW, Wanderer and Horch merged and created Auto Union to stand stronger against competition. DKW made both motorsycles and cars. They were first bought by Daimler Benz in the 50's, who again sold them to VAG. VAG later also bought NSU, wich was merged together with Auto Union to make the revived Audi brand. And NSU also made motorsycles as well as cars. Read the wikipedia page for Auto Union for more filling information. 😉

[@rudibauer4585]

Well done! A small addition: Auto Union was a Saxon company. After WW II, it was re-established in West Germany by former managers and new investors. In the early years, the company built small DKW brand cars with smelly two-stroke engines. In 1965 , Auto Union finally introduced four-stroke engines and started to sell the new model range as Audi. At this time, they already belong to Volkswagen (VAG).

[@patricktrakzel9657]

I love the NSU Ro 80, with it's rotary engine. Unique car.

[@carlossaraiva8382]

The green small car, was an AUDI 50, launched, as far as I remember, in 74. By the way, you could buy this car with two different names and brands. The first one to be launched, was the Audi 50, and later, VW launched the first VW Polo, which was literally identical to the Audi 50.

[@flopjul3022]

there is also a smaller Audi museum in Autostadt(Wolfsburg) near the VW plant, there are also museums for Porsche, VW, Skoda, Seat, Lamborghini, Ducati, Bentley and Bugatti. its a very nice place to walk through and there is also a car science museum where they show new technologies and auto racing. its not for older cars tho, its mainly a museum like showroom it does include a museum of VW AG brands through time

[@norbertschrank3331]

Fun facts about Ingolstadt: - the secret society of Illuminati was founded here in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt - the Purity Law of Beer was given here in 1516 (ok, it happened in some other places as well) - Victor Frankenstein assembled his creature at Ingolstadt university (according the novel) - at Audi there is a warehouse, where all automotive treasures are stored, which are not exhibited in the museum. My wife as an Audi member had the chance to see it and was impressed.

The silver one at the end is the streamliner. A 1930's F1 racecar also used to set speed records on the German autobahn. Legendary Bernd Rosemayer died in one of those attemps set to be going over 400km/h (260mph). Watch them in action on the Avus ring!!!!

Just a couple of things, to add... 1- The first orange small car is an NSU (a Auto Union/Audi brand) that also built motorcycles. There´s a man here in Portugal that used to race with both and he has one of his old bikes on display on his go-kart race track in Bombarral. 2- The other old car (white,on the "elevator") is a DAF, another Auto Union/Audi brand.

The silver colour was the German national race colour for international races. British where green, Iralian red and French blue. German cars have been white but in 1932 (if I remember correctly) a Mercedes car was a bit too heavy for the weight limit so the mechanics removed the paint overnight and the car started with the shining pollished Aluminium skin the next day. Later they where called Silber Pfeil (silver arrow, mainly Mercedes) or sometimes also Silber Fisch (silver fish, Audi). The original German white colour was later used by the Japanese.

Paternoster Vertical Conveyor System: In architecture or engineering, a "Paternoster" can also refer to a type of vertical conveyor system. It consists of a series of open compartments or cabins that move in a loop vertically between two vertical tracks. People or goods can be placed in these compartments, and they move continuously, allowing for a constant loading and unloading process. Paternoster elevators were more common in the past but are now rare due to safety concerns and modern elevator alternatives.

[@fabianstriebeck8054]

gotta check out LCE for their road going version of that audi quattro

[@theRealccb83]

16:30 Auto Union Typ C 1937 16-Zylinder-Motor (6,5 Liter, 545 PS) 440 kph

[@darrylweathers6764]

Yes mate, the road version Sport Quattros are on the rare side, just 214 of them were made, and as a result you need serious money to get one. On average they’re worth about 600k USD, the rally versions will go for at least double that

[@rasmuswi]

Also, many of them were purchased by racers who turned then into rallycross racers, hill climb specials and other kinds of monster race cars.

Hella cool. Now do the Mercedes, BMW, VW ( VolksWagen, peoplescar ), Magirus museums. Another interesting thing is the VW Phaeton. Especially the W12 is a beast. Big Car has a story on that. VW wanted to compete with the Mercedes S class, BMW 7 seies and the Audi 200/A8. Top cars for management people. Of course those people did not want to be seen in a peoples car, as it is not a prestige brand. So the Phaeton flopped. Look into this Ian, you would love it. My uncle ( a German, because my fathers second wife was German ) had a Audi 200 quatro stationwagon, and when we went to Liege ( Belgium ) we did 270 km/h on the autobahn. There is such a rotary lift thing in the UK for boats. Interesting as well for a video.

Btw Audi is Latin. Audire means: listen. The Imperative is audi: Hör hin; Horch! The inventor was August Horch. Born in Winningen, near to Koblenz.Greetings from Koblenz 😊

😎👍 Those car doors are call suicide doors.

Audi’s race cars in the ALMS series in North America were virtually unbeatable. Another great German manufacturer is Porsche with a long history of winning race cars.

15:20 driven by Kris Nissen from Denmark; but he spent most of his professional life driving in Germany

[@Akabei01]

NSU and DKW (part of Auto Union) were building motorcycles. DKW built the most motorcycles worldwide at some point (in the late 1920s iirc).

[@leumas.banks43]

A fun fact about the RS2 avant is that all parts used in that car are from, you guessed it, a Porsche 911. The brakes, the wheels, the lights. The car was literally the perfect sleeper.

[@JoriDiculous]

It was designed and built by Porsche. Pretty crazy colab. really.

[@pavelkoudelka7988]

Muzeum má dokonce i Tatra a Škoda- obojí doporučuju 😉

[@kamilhalapi]

Tatra má dokonca dve. A to nákladné je ozaj zaujímavé. Múzeum osobných čaká rekonštrukcia.

[@patrickwatkins7572]

Ian you gotta do the RBR , richard burns rally, - older game but very steadfast community, and for good reason, - i recommend using the game for your "homecourse", - its recommended just like IRL, to have a homecourse on your PC too, - and RBR has some of the best, - very friendly courses, and you can really test your seat fabric if you want too some days ;-D

2:15 watching this gave me so many intrusive thoughts to jump onto the platform. I have no idea why, I'm not even there in person but I wanted to jump onto the platform :D

[@henningpieterjordan7416]

The little Green one is an Audi 50...😊

[@automation7295]

Aka the re-engineered Volkswagen Polo Mk I

[@FrankWego]

from 1975

[@PedrocamaroSS]

Audi has a storage with a lot more cars they made, some of them pretty rare. Ken Block did a small video about that when he got a contract from audi

[@MagicPQ]

Good Morning Ian, wouldn't let you die dumb 🙂, we call a wagon 'Kombi' from 'Kombinationskraftwagen' admittedly an old legal term

[@AFNacapella]

imho the station wagon (Combi/Kombi) is what you actually need from a pick-up truck as a private person.

[@mgtworld]
