Audi Motorsport Data

Audi's motorsport legacy is a direct reflection of its brand philosophy, "Vorsprung durch Technik" (Advancement through Technology). The brand indelibly changed the face of motorsport in the 1980s with its revolutionary quattro all-wheel-drive system, which completely dominated the World Rally Championship and established a new benchmark for performance. This technological supremacy continued into the 1990s, with Audi conquering touring car series worldwide, including the prestigious DTM. The dawn of the 21st century saw Audi embark on an era of unprecedented dominance in endurance racing, securing an incredible 13 victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. During this period, Audi consistently pioneered groundbreaking technologies, achieving historic wins with TFSI direct-injection gasoline engines, TDI diesel power, and advanced e-tron quattro hybrid systems. More recently, the brand has embraced the future of motorsport by competing in Formula E and tackling the grueling Dakar Rally with its innovative RS Q e-tron electric prototype. This relentless pursuit of innovation continues as Audi prepares for its most ambitious project to date: entering the FIA Formula 1 World Championship as a power unit manufacturer from 2026, marking the next chapter in its illustrious racing history.
