Audi 920

The Audi 920 was a pre-war car that the Audi division of Auto Union introduced in 1938 to replace the Audi Front UW 225. It was meant to fill a gap between the large Horch cars and the middle-market Wanderer cars. Its front-mounted six-cylinder in-line engine of 3,281 cc was a shortened version of the eight-cylinder unit used by sister company Horch, and it claimed 75 PS and a top speed of 130 km/h. Power went to the rear wheels through a four-speed gearbox, a step back from the front-wheel drive of its predecessor. Audi had no stand-alone factory then, so the 920 was built at the Horch plant. About 1,281 were made before production ended in 1940, and it was the last car to carry the Audi name until the F103 of 1965.
