This was the fist appearance of the 4 rings logo, originally with the individual logos of the 4 companys inside each ring.

the real story behind the Audi symbol is back in the day (pre-WWII) there was a racing series called Auto Union. The symbol was the 4 rings because there were 4 car manufactures competing in it. Audi did so well they evetually took the symbol and used it as thier own.


2 out of the 4 was audi and porsche, can u figure out the other 2?
