Halting of Production of Audi 920

80 years

The Audi 920 was the last Audi model before the war and displayed the building block features that were typical within Auto Union in the late 1930s. The design features of the chassis were largely the same as those of the Wanderer W 23. The in-line six-cylinder engine with an overhead camshaft driven via an upright shaft had originally been developed for a small Horch.

Production was reduced considerably when the war broke out and continued exclusively for purposes of export. In April 1940 the last Audi left the Horch factory in Zwickau, where the Audi cars had been built since 1934.
