The last Horch
In western Texas of all places, Audi finds the last Horch, and ships it back to Germany for a 2-year restoration. Audi is the Latin translation of Horch, and Audi was founded in 1910 by a Horch business partner who was forced out. In 1932, Audi and Horch merged, along with DKW and Wanderer, and the current day Audi logo (four rings) came about.
