Default Yep, it's the four German motor companies that joined to form Audi.

They were Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer. Now it is known as Audi AG.

Default no logic behind that as quattro evolved around 1980

and the four rings symbol pre dates that by numerous deccades.

whomever gave you that info was misinformed.
