The four rings in the Audi logo are a legacy of the 1932 Auto Union merger of Audi, Horch, DKW and Wanderer. The Audi community is one of the most active in Europe for chip tuning. The e-tron line is Audi's EV range within the VAG group. Audi is the originator of mass-market TDI passenger-car engines in Europe. High-output Audi diesels sit in the premium segment; Stage 1 is especially noticeable in Nm. The European TDI community is the world's largest for passenger-car diesel chip tuning.
On the Audi Q-series diesel SUVs, Stage 1 focuses on torque. The Audi community is renowned for its active tuning scene and a huge library of available Stage files. Within the VAG group, ECUs are standardised, so a single file often fits a dozen models across Audi/VW/Skoda/Seat. High-output Audi engines sit in the premium segment, with solid headroom for Stage 1. Audi S models are the milder performance step between the standard cars and the RS range. The premium Audi segment runs a high-output platform with Stage 2 potential.
