As an engineer, Mr. Horch has been at the forefront of technological innovation throughout his life and has had a profound impact on the automotive industry. In 1901, the first Horch brand model was introduced, which designed two cylinders and allowed the two cylinders to share a combustion chamber, which absorbed the vibration of the crankshaft, cleverly solving the problem of engine pounding, which Horch named "impactless" engine. He was one of the first engineers to adopt shaft drives in vehicle hubs, while pioneering the application of light alloys to transmissions, differential gearboxes and crankcases, technologies that were "black technology" in the early 20th century.
As a racing driver, Horch has a paranoid pursuit of power, for which he constantly improves the engine to give the vehicle more power. In 1911, Audi signed up for the Alpine Rally, the world's toughest race at the time, and successfully completed the 2,250-kilometer race and won the championship. Subsequently, the Audi team won three consecutive championships from 1912 to 1914, and became a frequent visitor to the racing industry at that time.

Among them, the 1933 Horch 830BL convertible was used as a review car when French President Charles de Gaulle liberated Paris; in 1934, the Horch 850 with an inline 8-cylinder engine had 100 horsepower, which reached an amazing value at the time, and the Horch 853 and Horch 855 introduced later were also the star models in the brand's glorious history.
