By 1901, they were rolling out their first car. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, August Horch left the company. Horch dreamed of manufacturing cars in his name. But he had already started and left a company in the name of Horch. So when he launched another company, he used the name Audi which is Horch as in ‘Hear’  in Latin and founded  Audi Automobilwerke GmbH Zwickau.

Though Horch set up the company in 1909, the brand Audi was officially registered in the year 1910. Before First World War, this automobile company manufactured the best cars of the period. During the war, the company was forced to manufacture vehicles for war. After the First World War, the company incurred heavy losses. Horch moved away from the company in 1920. The management tried to pull the company through hard times between 1927 and 1931 but later decided to merge with other companies to survive.
