Audi Sport GmbH, formerly known as quattro GmbH,[3] is the high-performance car manufacturing subsidiary of Audi,[1][4][5][6] itself a subsidiary of the greater Volkswagen Group.
Founded in October 1983 as quattro GmbH, it primarily specializes in producing high-performance Audi cars[2] and components, along with purchaser specified customizations.[1] The company's former name was a homage to Audi's original four-wheel drive rally-inspired road car—the Audi Quattro. In 2016, the company was renamed Audi Sport GmbH.[7]
It is located in a 3,500 square metres (37,670 sq ft) site at Neckarsulm,[4] near Stuttgart, in the German State of Baden-Württemberg. Development and manufacturing factories[2] is based within a larger 10,700 square metres (115,170 sq ft) site of the now defunct German automotive maker (and Wankel pistonless rotary engine pioneer) NSU Motorenwerke AG [clarification needed]
Its core products include the Audi RS4, the Audi RS6 and the Audi R8. Furthermore, it is a 'closed company', in that it does not sell its automobiles directly to the public via franchised outlets under its own brand name; instead, they are sold under the Audi marque. However, it does now[when?] sell 'quattro GmbH' branded lifestyle products and accessories via Audi franchised outlets and Audi Forum such as that located in the Allianz Arena on the northern outskirts of Munich, Germany.
