1960 Audi 1000

Description for Audi 1000 1960

The Auto Union 1000 is a luxury compact front-wheel-drive automobile manufactured by Auto Union GmbH between 1958 and 1965. It was the first (and in many markets the last) model branded as an Auto Union by the manufacturer since the 1930s: it replaced the paradoxically named DKW 3=6, although the latter continued in production, reassuringly now branded as the DKW 900, for another year. The two cars were broadly similar, but the new car had its two-stroke engine enlarged to...981 cc yielding a 10% - 37% (according to model) power increase.
