Audi Sport has stood for “Vorsprung durch Technik” in international motorsports since 1981. Whether at the World Rally Championship, Pikes Peak, super touring car championships, DTM, GT racing, Le Mans prototypes, Formula E, or Rallye Dakar: In an impressive performance, Audi has triumphed in all motorsport projects with numerous victories and major championship titles. In customer racing, international customer teams driving Audi Sport GmbH models vie to come out on top in circuit races. Audi will enter Formula 1 for the time in 2026. The knowledge that Audi Sport GmbH has gained in motorsports is reflected in all its models. Formula 1 will spearhead the company’s related activities. Audi Sport GmbH has established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Audi Formula Racing GmbH, to enter the premier class of motorsports. From 2026, the brand with the four rings will compete in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship with a specially developed power unit. The power unit will be built at Audi Sport’s state-of-the-art Competence Center Motorsport in Neuburg an der Donau, not far from AUDI AG headquarters in Ingolstadt. The center, which opened in 2014, is considered one of the most sophisticated of its kind and is currently undergoing extensive expansion for the F1 debut. The move entails the first Formula 1 power unit to be built in Germany since 2009. The decisive factor is the International Automobile Federation’s (FIA) new regulations, which, among other things, will provide for sustainable synthetic fuels from 2026 and raise the electric share of hybrid drive units to almost 50 percent. Audi wants to actively shape the transformation of what is by far the most significant motorsport series. Launched in 2009, the brand’s customer racing program has won more than 500 overall and class championship titles worldwide. Nineteen overall victories at 24-hour races and many other successes in endurance motorsports round off this impressive legacy.

Audi opens second charging hub in Tokyo and continues to expand its global fast-charging network Cutting-edge charging infrastructure meets premium service: lounge, hypercharger, and innovative swivel arm ensure sophisticated charging experience Worldwide success: more than 2,500 charging sessions in Tokyo in a year confirm success of Audi charging hub concept Audi opened its second charging hub in Tokyo, the world’s largest metropolitan region, on April 24, 2025. The company is thus further expanding its fast-charging network and launching its eighth charging hub worldwide. A location that connects: nature, culture, and urban life The Audi charging hub (ACH) is located in the Shibakōen neighborhood, surrounded by numerous sights such as the Tokyo Tower, the historic Zojoji Temple, and Shiba Park, which was established in 1873. The area combines nature with architecture – green retreats meet modern office and high-rise buildings. Convenient, comfortable charging experience The two-story facility is modeled after the first Audi charging hub in Nuremberg. A battery-powered charging station – the hypercharger from PowerX – is installed on the ground level. With a maximum charging capacity of 150 kilowatts (kW), it can charge two electric vehicles at the same time. The patented Audi swivel arm installed in Shibakōen is attached to the top of the hypercharger. Handling is easy thanks to the cable routing. It enables effortless access to the vehicle’s charging port and keeps the charging cable off the floor. The technology is already known and used successfully at Audi sites in Europe. As with all previous Audi charging hubs, the new Shibakōen hub in Tokyo is designed to be brand-independent and can be used for all electric vehicles. Upstairs, the facility houses a 50-square-meter lounge. As soon as a charging process begins, an access code is sent to the customer’s smartphone, enabling access to the lounge.

The Audi A7 Sportback impresses with even more dynamic driving on the one hand and increased comfort on the other. Thanks to numerous chassis innovations, the Gran Turismo from Audi offers a new range between comfort and dynamics. The mild-hybrid technology, which is also new, makes the drive system even more efficient and at the same time more comfortable. Furthermore, the A7 will be hitting the road with updated engines. Chassis New chassis components enable the four-door Gran Turismo to perfect its synthesis of sportiness and long-distance comfort. The new Audi A7 Sportback handles more agilely and spontaneously yet is also safer and more comfortable. This has been achieved using innovative technologies such as dynamic all-wheel steering, damper control and controlled power distribution by the quattro sport differential. The central control of these system via the electronic chassis platform (ECP) make this synthesis of sportiness and comfort possible. With the standard progressive steering and the optional dynamic all-wheel steering and sport differential, the A7 achieves the handling characteristics of a compact sports car. The dynamic all-wheel steering combines the dynamic steering at the front axle, which works with strain wave gearing, with a separate rear axle steering system with a spindle drive. This makes it possible to independently adjust the steering angles at the front and rear axles. The dynamic all-wheel steering ends the conflict of aims between agile response and stability. At speeds up to 60 km/h (37.3 mph), the rear wheels are turned as much as five degrees in the opposite direction. This reduces the turning circle by up to 1.1 meters (3.6 ft), and the car becomes more agile in city traffic, when maneuvering and in tight switchbacks. At 60 km/h (37.3 mph) and above the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels.

Battery preconditioning optimizes charging performance to minimize charging times Predictive thermal management puts battery cells in the ideal temperature range while approaching a charging station The Audi e-tron route planner provides charging station information – including the number of available stations, payment options, and more Audi offers helpful functions in its electric model series that significantly shorten charging times and make it much easier to find charging stations. The key to optimal charging success There are several basic factors that promote fast charging: Sufficient preconditioning Battery temperature in ideal temperature range of +25°C to +45°C Low state of charge (SoC) at charging start Moderate interior climate control during charging Sufficient power output at charging station How battery temperature affects charging times The temperature of the high-voltage battery (HV battery) has a significant impact on the maximum power output, the charging time, and ultimately the battery’s own service life. In order to ensure optimal charging performance and fast charging stops in low or high outside temperatures, the HV battery must be sufficiently preconditioned. The ideal range for charging the HV battery is between 25 and 45 degrees Celsius. Temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius can damage the battery’s electronics and chemical components. At the same time, temperatures below 25 degrees Celsius increase the battery’s internal electrical resistance, which means that charging will take longer. For this reason, the Q6 e-tron, A6 e-tron, e-tron GT, and Q4 e-tron model series feature a predictive thermal management system designed to put the battery cells in the ideal temperature range while approaching a DC fast-charging (HPC) station. The process of achieving this ideal charging condition is known as preconditioning. It works by heating the battery in cold temperatures and cooling it in warm temperatures.

Audi México has a biological wastewater treatment facility inside the plant, which treats both sewage and industrial wastewater. Up to 1,800 cubic meters of water from the plant's various streams is homogenized and then treated with bacteria. The biologically treated water then passes through an activated carbon and ultraviolet filtration process. The water meets all regulatory requirements. In 2018, the reverse osmosis plant was inaugurated, which contributes significantly to decarbonization and water conservation. This water treatment system is able to save around 150,000 cubic meters of water per year by returning it to the plant’s production processes. Since then, production at the Mexican plant has been entirely wastewater-free. Since 2020, the Audi México plant has covered all of its electricity needs for the production of the Audi Q5 from renewable energy sources. This has also helped Audi achieve its goal of net carbon-neutral production at all of its sites since 2025. In late 2023, Audi México became the first production plant in the automotive industry to be certified for its water management under the standards of the Alliance for Sustainable Water Stewardship (AWS). This contributes to Audi’s global goal of reducing water consumption per vehicle by 50% by 2035. Furthermore, together with the Municipal Government of Nopalucan and the commissioner of Santa Cruz del Bosque in Puebla, Audi México reforested 39 hectares of municipal land in Santa Cruz del Bosque, near where the factory is located. More than 42,000 trees were planted in the area. In accordance with AUDI AG’s Corporate Citizenship strategy, Audi México implemented its activities based on three main pillars: “Educate”, “Engage”, and “Empower”. The main objective is to develop the region through numerous activities and programs such as: Audi Social Day: Audi México participated in activities with more than 120 employees who reforested 10,000 m² of land.
