Audi Tour in Ingolstadt, Germany

I have always enjoyed the look and feel of Audi’s cars. I bought a 1997 A4 back in 2009 and have enjoyed driving it ever since. Trusty old Pearl has been a good car so far and with only 135,000 miles it will hopefully still last quite a while despite already being 15 years old.

We hopped a train out of Munich for a quick 45 minute ride to Ingolstadt, where the Audi headquarters and the Audi Forum are located. We took a tour of the factory where they produce A4s, A5s, and the Q5. Might’ve even been exactly where my car was built since it was built in Ingolstadt. It was an awesome tour! We couldn’t take pictures unfortunately but it was amazing to see their efficient assembly process which is 98% automated! The combination of robots, computers and new Audi cars was a paradise for a nerd like me.

The Audi museum had cars and motorcycles from the beginning of the company. They even had the A4 B5 model on display (that’s what my Pearl is). Guess my car is getting a little old if it can be displayed in the museum.
