Vorsprung durch Motorsport

Since 1981, Audi Sport has stood for “Vorsprung durch Technik” in international racing. Be it the World Rally Championship, Pikes Peak, Super Touring, DTM, GT racing, Le Mans prototypes or Formula E: With impressive performances, Audi achieved success with numerous race victories and important championship titles in its racing projects. The engagement in 2023 consists of marathon off-road rallying and customer racing. The Dakar Rally with the Audi RS Q e-tron¹ and its innovative drivetrain² is the flagship factory motorsport programme. Audi Sport customer racing sees models from Audi competing all over the world in the hands of customer teams. The road-going models from the brand with the four rings profit from the expertise that comes from racing.
