It was launched 25 years ago – and polarized opinions: the Audi A2. With its innovative aluminum body, the compact car was light, aerodynamic, and economical in terms of consumption.

However, since sales fell short of expectations, Audi ended production in 2005 after about five years and 176,377 units built.
