Today, two more Auto Union brands - DKW and Audi. The green car is the DKW F102, introduced in 1963, a modern design but with an old two-stroke engine. It was replaced by a revamped version with a four-stroke, the F103 (red car, Techno Classica 2017), in 1966 for which the dormant Audi badge was revived. Note the DKW was already using the ‘four ring’ Auto Union grille logo in preference to a DKW badge. This was then transferred to the Audi
#AutoUnion
I mentioned previously that Auto Union was the parent company for its four constituent brands - Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer. But it also used its own name for its pre-war racers like the recently featured Typ C. A modern analogy would be Stellantis setting up a race team under its own name, rather than, say, Peugeot or Citroën. After the War, Auto Union branding was also used for road cars like this 1950s 1000 SP (Techno Classica 2014).
🚗 A rare gem in the post-war automotive revival: explore the short-lived yet fascinating journey of the DKW F 10.

The German silver racing colour scheme is most commonly associated with Mercedes but has also been used by other manufacturers, including Audi and, as here, its forerunner Auto Union. The Typ C was originally developed as an open-wheel racer like its near contemporary, yesterday’s Mercedes W154. But this enclosed aerodynamically slippery ‘Stromlinie’ (streamline) bodywork was created for racing at Berlin’s high-speed Avus circuit.
Auto Union 1000 S de Luxe. These cars have been produced from 1958 - 1963 (this one between 1961 and 63, I believe). Great modernist architecture in the background too, the buiding on the left (more of it five pics ago) once was the administration building of the company Ernst Leitz, producer of the well known Leica.

This alternate-history supercar based on an Auto Union racer was planned but never built, almost a century ago.
