Attendees must be 18+ and hold a valid driving license. Spaces are limited.
What is Vorsprung durch Technik?
Chances are you’ve heard of Audi’s iconic ‘Vorsprung durch Technik’ (VDT) slogan. First introduced in 1971 by advertising legend John Hegarty, VDT has evolved over the past five decades into far more than just a catchy tagline.
Translating to ‘progress through technology’, VDT represents a deep-rooted philosophy that places innovation at the very centre of all of Audi’s design and engineering endeavours.
The result? A peerless roster of extraordinary cars that have continuously reimagined the impossible. From the revolutionary four-wheel-drive Audi quattro (1980) that dominated world rallying, to the ultra-efficient Audi A2 (1999) that set new standards in chassis design and lightness, to the Audi R8 (2006) that forever changed the trajectory of mid-engined supercars.
Today, that same relentless pursuit of progress underpins each and every one of Audi’s all-electric e-tron models, resulting in a lineup of class-leading electric cars that push the boundaries of performance, range, aerodynamic efficiency, and technology.
