What does it mean? It is used often when refering to the badges. I know it LOOKS like a zero with 2 ones next to it but is there a meaning behind it? Exaplin. Thanks.

We would have to kill you if we told. It's a secret language. :-)

Default That's the dialing code to make international calls...

From the U.S. you would dial 011 (similar to dialing 1 for long distance calls).
Any U.S. spec. vehicles manufactured overseas can use this designation...how it happened to get so popular with Audi is beyond me. But any non-US manufactured vehicle is authorized to use this spec. Other non-US manufactured cars that may want to use this spec have to pay royalties to include this designation.

Ok, ok, tough crowd. It was just a name made up to be generic.

If you made a car that looked a lot like and Audi A4 do you think you could sell it as an Audi A4?
