Audi Tradition Bringing Classic Audis to More Than 20 Shows in 2018

Audi Tradition is bringing some of its best classics to more than 20 events during 2018. They’ll be bringing out cars from the heritage collection to celebrate the birthday of August Horch and mark 50 years of the Audi 100.

The season starts with the Techno Classica show held in March in Essen. Audi is celebrating 50 years of the 100 at the show, with three special 100s on display alongside an Auto Union Type D and the Audi 200 quattro.

At the Schloss Dyck Classic Days in August, Audi Tradition will be showing luxury cars to honor the 150th birthday of August Horch. The display will feature Horch models from the 1920s and 1930s. At Sachsen Classic, Horch models will take the starting line.

At the 25th Goodwood Festival of Speed, Audi Tradition will be running an Auto Union Type C 16-cylinder racer from 1936. It will be headed up the Goodwood hill. In the German town of Daun, Audi will bring the Audi Sport quattro S1 that Walter Rohrl used to break records in the Pike’s Peak hill climb. An Audi 200 quattro TransAm racer will be at Hamburg’s Stadtpark-Revival event.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
