A round-the-world journey through timeAudi Tradition 2012 calendar
13 classic cars, 13 countries, 13 breathtaking photos: the calendar “Discover Worlds With Audi Tradition” captures unique moments and near-forgotten historic Audi cars shown at the location of their discovery – all the way from Eastern Europe to America.
In the Audi Tradition 2012 calendar, each of the 13 cars has its own story to tell – brilliantly and exquisitely presented by Stefan Warter. The photographer has adopted a dynamic photographic style to capture unique moments, including the rediscovery of the “last Horch”.
The “last Horch” in Texas
It was in 2008 that Audi Tradition came across the long-lost “last Horch” in a scrap yard near San Angelo, in the south of Texas. The Horch 830 from 1953 was the only one ever to have been built in Ingolstadt. The vehicle was at the mercy of the scorching sun in the Texas steppe for over 40 years. The Audi Tradition 2012 calendar shows the unique classic car before its rescue.
The “Puppchen” in Lima
In 2010, Audi historians discovered a Wanderer from 1915 in Lima, Peru: a “Puppchen” with boat-type body, the last of its kind still in existence. And the picture is just as unique as the car itself. Stefan Warter captured the vintage car in one of the less attractive parts of the Peruvian capital, Lima.
Brazilian DKW in Rio de Janeiro
At the foot of the world-famous statue of Christ in Rio de Janeiro, the visitor has a spectacular view of the “cidade maravilhosa”. The April picture in the Audi Tradition 2012 calendar shows two Brazilian-made DKW vehicles. The DKW Fissore and DKW Belcar were never manufactured in Ingolstadt; they were built in Brazil in the 1950s and 1960s under licence from Auto Union GmbH.
The calendar “Discover Worlds With Audi Tradition” is available for EUR 29.90.
