Armand Peugeot became interested in the automobile early on and, after meeting with Gottlieb Damlier

 and others, was convinced of its viability. The first Peugeot automobile (a three-wheeled steam-powered car designed by Leon  Serpollet   was produced in 1889; only four examples were made.Steam power was heavy and bulky and required lengthy warmup times. In 1890, after meeting Gottlieb Damlier and Emile Levassor, steam was abandoned in favour of a four-wheeled car with a petrol-fuelled internal combustion engine built by Phand under Daimler licence. The car was more sophisticated than many of its contemporaries, with a three-point suspension and a sliding-gear transmission.

Audi AG  is a German  automobile manufacturer, from supermini to crossover Suv's in various body styles and price ranges that are marketed under the Audi brand, positioned as the premium brand within the Volkswagen Group.

The company is headquartered in Ingolstadrt, Germany, and has been a wholly owned (99.55%) subsidiary of Volkswagen AG since 1966, following a phased purchase of its predecessor,Auto Union, from its former owner, Daimler. Volkswagen relaunched the Audi brand with the 1965 introduction of the Audi F103 series.

The company name is based on the surname of the founderAugust Horch, his surname meaning listen in German—which, when translated into Latin, becomes Audi.

On 14 November 1899, August Horch (1868–1951) established the company A. Horch & Cie. in the Ehrenfeld district of Cologne, but because dispute between him and the supervisory board, he had to leave the company. A few years later, he established a second company, Horch Automobil-Werke GmbH. The company traces its origins back to 1909 and August Horch. The first Audi automobile, the Audi Type A 10/22 hp (16 kW) Sport-Phaeton, was produced in 1910 in Zwickau

In 1909, Horch was forced out of the company he had founded. He then started a new company in Zwickau and continued using the Horch brand. His former partners sued him for trademark infringement, and the German Supreme Court (Reichsgericht in Berlin)finally determined that the Horch brand belonged to his former company.

Since August Horch was barred from using "Horch" as a trade name in his new car business, he called a meeting with his best business friends, Paul and Franz Fikentscher from Zwickau. At the apartment of Franz Fikentscher, they discussed how to come up with a new name for the company. During this meeting, Franz's son was quietly studying Latin in a corner of the room. Several times he looked like he was on the verge of saying something but would just swallow his words and continue working, until he finally blurted out, "Father – audiatur et altera pars.. wouldn't it be a good idea to call it audi instead ofhorch?""Horch!" in German means "Hark!" or "hear", which is "Audi" in Latin. The idea was enthusiastically accepted by everyone attending the meeting.The first Audi car, the Type B, 10/28PS was delivered early in 1910.

Audi started with a 2612 cc inline four engine model followed by a 3564 cc model, as well as 4680 cc and 5720 cc models. These cars were successful even in sporting events. The first 6 cylinder model, 4655 cc appeared in 1924.

August Horch left the Audi company in 1920 for a high position at the ministry of transport, but he was still involved with Audi as a member of the board of trustees. In September 1921, Audi became the first German car manufacturer to present a production car, the Audi Type K, with left-handed drive. Left-hand drive spread and established dominance during the 1920s because it provided a better view of oncoming traffic, making overtaking safer.
