Take a tour of the Audi Tradition warehouse
The rise of niche carmakers has given those with longer pedigrees -- say more than five years, at this point -- compelling reasons to start showing off their heritage. Audi, with nearly a century of history behind it, has an Audi Tradition center near its Ingolstadt headquarters, and a writer at Fourtitude just took a tour and posted plenty of pics. Among the treasures were the usual suspects -- Auto Unions in various states of assembly, Quattros, and race cars. There's also, though, a DKW Monza, motorcycles from sub-brand NSU, engines, the second generation sportback TT concept, 50 S and 100 S Coupes, and a whole lot more. The collection has more than 300 cars, and Fourtitude's got 233 photos. There should be a desktop tour like this every Saturday.

NSU part of Audi was in the mid 1950´s the largest motorbike producer in the world... in 1955 they had produced over 350,000 in a single year and export into 90 nations.
In 2002 I was in the same Audi Tradition hall during a German TT owner club meet at Ingolstadt. Unfortunatily at that time we were not allowed to take pictures of the inside. Do they still have the green 7 up Formula 1 race car sitting in one of the uper floors? This car is hidden away from public because it is today unpayable... it is from the time Audi owned Cosworth and Cosworth was a large F1 engine supplyer.. one extrem famous guy did his first F1 race with it..
