August Horch founded Horch automobile in Cologne, Germany in 1899, and started producing vehicles in 1901 which featured a horizontal engine producing upwards of five hp. Requirement for these models propelled Horch to grow production and move to a larger manufacturing facility where a newer [url=http://www.cheapjerseysbengals.com/joe-mixon-jersey/]Joe Mixon Youth Jersey[/url] , more powerful model pumping out a then-amazing 10 horsepower was released.
By 1910, Horch himself was booted out of the company that sported his name so he set up shop elsewhere and started to sell cars under the Audi moniker. Originally, Horch attempted to use his folks name, but German courts ruled against him therefore the Audi name was selected instead. In German, Horch means "hark" and the word "audi" is the Latin translation of horchhark. So, though he could legally no longer use his folks name [url=http://www.cheapjerseysbengals.com/john-ross-jersey/]John Ross Youth Jersey[/url] , the Latinized version of the same won out. Guess which name is understood today?
In between a couple devastating world wars, the modern Audi company started to take shape. Indeed, the "four rings" logo of the company represents the union of 4 distinct German automotive makers under the auspices of Audi. Yes, you know it : the Horch company that originally booted Mr. Horch was soaked up by Audi and makes up one of the 4 rings. August Horch lived to see that day, but he also witnessed the dismantling of the company following the end of the second world war.
Reparations was the rallying cry when World War Two stopped, thus thus the Soviet Union who was occupying the eastern portion of Germany in the postwar era [url=http://www.cheapjerseysbengals.com/dre-kirkpatrick-jersey/]Dre Kirkpatrick Youth Jersey[/url] , appropriated the company, took all of its assets, and by August 1948 the company no longer existed. One year later thanks to state loans and Marshall plan assistance, a resurrected Audi was back on the scene producing a delivery van and a motorcycle. Continuous growth throughout the 1950s highlighted by Daimler's acquisition of the company in 1958 fueled further growth. In 1964, the Volkswagen group acquired Audi from Daimler and to this day Audi remains a big part of the Volkswagen establishment.
By the late 1960s, Audi started what many consider to be its significant run to the top of car models were developed several of which were also sold as Volkswagen models for that time. In 1980 [url=http://www.cheapjerseysbengals.com/vontaze-burfict-jersey/]Vontaze Burfict Youth Jersey[/url] , Audi shook the automotive world to its foundation when it released its Quattro sports vehicle, a vehicle with full time all wheel drive and a turbocharged engine. Immediately , the Quattro propelled the Audi name to the pinnacle of the race car world when the vehicle began to win race on race. Undeniably, the Quattro was such a runaway hit that the model was banned from some races for having an "unfair" technological advantage.
Throughout the 1980s and the 1990s, Audi started to produce extra models including its first premium model, the Audi V8 in 1988. Sporting a 3.6L 32-valve V8 engine [url=http://www.cheapjerseysbengals.com/carlos-dunlap-jersey/]Carlos Dunlap Youth Jersey[/url] , the Audi V8 featured full time all wheel drive and a 4 speed electronically controlled automated transmission. This model was a huge departure from earlier Audis and set the brand on a collision course with Mercedes and BMW, Germany's 2 other luxury brands in an attempt for car supremacy.
Today, Audi continues to grow and compete against all of the top luxury brands in the world. New technology including its Audi Space Frame all-aluminum body - famous for its rigidity and improved crashworthiness - are among the highlights of a brand that does not accept second choice. From sedans to sport coupes to an all new SUV, Audi has a model that competes against the likes of Lexus, Mercedes, Cadillac [url=http://www.cheapjerseysbengals.com/tyler-eifert-jersey/]Tyler Eifert Youth Jersey[/url] , Infiniti, and BMW its chief rivals.
That "hark" sound you hear is both the name of a company and the awareness the brand merits in a sea of able premium models produced by Germany's esteemed Volkswagen Group. Yes, Audi has weathered several storms and the company appears poised to resume its thrust forward thanks to its many inventions and continued high quality.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) -- Thomas Hwang, a retina expert at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Casey Eye Institute, has a critical warning for spectators out to see a total solar eclipse on Monday.
""If you look directly at the eclipse, it can burn your retina in mere seconds and can cause permanent damage,"" Hwang [url=http://www.cheapjerseysbengals.com/a-j-green-jersey/]A.J. Green Youth Jersey[/url] , an associate professor of ophthalmology in the OHSU School of Medicine, was quoted as saying in a web posting updated in recent days.
Oregon, in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, will be the first of 12 states in the United States to get a front row seat to observe the rare celestial event on Monday, August 21 - a total solar eclipse - where the moon completely covers the sun, and the sky goes dark in mid-daylight.
Scheduled to hit the U.S. West Coast around 10 a.m. Pacific time [url=http://www.cheapjerseysbengals.com/andy-dalton-jersey/]Andy Dalton Youth Jersey[/url] , there will be the most powerful ""path of totality"" going straight through Oregon, as it will last 2.5 minutes when the moon completely covers the sun.
The event is rare for two reasons: it will be the first total solar eclipse visible only in the United States since 1776 and the first total solar eclipse to cross the entire country in 99 years.
On his part, Hwang said the total solar eclipse can deliver a lot of energy
to the center of vision, even when things seem kind of dark. He noted that most
people normally would not look at the sun directly, but may
