The Audi is a water-cooled car with a front engine and front-wheel drive – a radical 180-degree turnaround in the eyes of the VW community. Not only was the mechanical concept completely alien to VW fans, the marketing concept also contradicted their previous ideas. The Audi, especially the 100 LS, is not a people’s car. It is a mid-range luxury saloon. It gives the impression of being an alternative to a Mercedes. The body differs from the traditional Mercedes styling primarily in that the profile (especially in the front and the wings) is more rounded, i.e. ‘softer’. And, of course, the traditional Mercedes radiator grille is missing, replaced by a horizontal opening containing the old Auto Union emblem with the linked rings. The engine was based on the ‘medium-pressure engine’ of the Audi F103 adopted from Mercedes, a conventional design with a side camshaft and pushrods. It was reliable and economical. The body and engines were modified in the following years. The pricing of the first generation of the Audi 100 was unusual for the time, as the two-door saloon was just as expensive as the four-door until 1972. The Audi 100 made a significant contribution to the VW Group being able to free itself from a poor financial situation. Its successor, the C2 model, was presented to the public in 1976.
