Audi traced the roots of the GT50 back to its first five‑cylinder engine, debuting in the 1976 Audi 100. Those engines have driven some of the marque’s most iconic cars – from the rally‑ready and road‑legal Quattro models to the high‑performance RS2.
The GT50 was put together by a squad of 14 apprentices from Audi’s Neckarsulm training centre and took more than six months to finish. It’s a fitting tribute to a turbocharged legacy that has powered Audi’s success for 50 years.
