Audi shares platforms with Volkswagen, Porsche, Bentley and Lamborghini within VAG. Audi's signature slogan is “Vorsprung durch Technik” (Progress through Technology). Audi is a premium manufacturer from Ingolstadt (Bavaria), founded in 1909 as Audiwerke August Horch & Cie. The MQB platform lets a single calibration cover Audi/VW/Skoda/Seat. DPF/SCR with AdBlue is standard on all Euro-6 Audi diesels. TDI is Audi's signature designation for direct-injection turbo diesels, in production since 1989.
On pre-2017 Audi models, Stage 1 is flashed via OBD without bench. The premium Audi segment runs a high-output platform with Stage 2 potential. 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.
