When NSU was taken over by Volkswagenwerk AG, the presentation of the newest NSU model, which had been scheduled for the Geneva Motor Show in March 1969, was cancelled. The merger of NSU and Auto Union to create Audi NSU Auto Union AG sparked rumours that the K 70 would not be built as a product to rival the Audi 100 and VW 411/412. But this did not happen and VW adopted the last new car to be developed in Neckarsulm, getting it ready for production with help from former NSU engineers at the newly constructed plant in Salzgitter within a year. From August 1970 to May 1975, 211,127 VW K 70 rolled off the production line in Lower Saxony. Audi Tradition 18 Anniversary Dates 2024 Takeover of Auto Union GmbH by Volkswagenwerk AG Years 60 1964 was a key turning point for Auto Union in Ingolstadt. In an extraordinary meeting of the shareholders on 16 December 1964, those present decided to increase the share capital from 80 to 160 million DM. At the same time, the acquisition of 51% of the capital by Volkswagenwerk AG, which had been prepared back in October of the same year, received the required approval. The officials thus initiated the gradual takeover of Auto Union GmbH from Daimler-Benz AG (previously the sole shareholder) by Volkswagenwerk AG. The takeover became legally effective on 1 January 1965. The rest of the shares were acquired from Daimler-Benz in further stages. From 1 November 1966, Auto Union GmbH was a fully owned subsidiary of VW.
