Photo Gallery «Audi 50 - the forgotten stroke of genius»
In the early 1970s, German car manufacturers initially left the small car business to the French, British and Italians. But then the Audi 50, the first German Mini, appeared. And it did very well, although it was developed in a short space of time and abandoned many traditions. However, the fruitful seed was then harvested by Volkswagen with the Polo. This driving report is about a late Audi 50 GLS. However, it tells the whole story of the Audi 50, including many photos, sales brochure and sound samples.
