Coinciding with the release of the new Audi A4, the Ingolstadt giant is also celebrating the production of its ten-millionth midsize saloon model.

Rolling off the Neckarsulm line, the milestone vehicle, a Misano Red Audi S4 model, marks 39 years production of what started out as the Audi 80. Beginning in 1972 with the B1 model, by 1994, four generations of the 80 had been produced. It’s successor, the first-generation (B5) A4, made its début in 1994, and by March 2011, the five millionth model had been produced.

We’ve added a new ‘history’ video from Audi, as well as footage featuring what must surely rank as a favourite model amongst motorsport fans – the Sport quattro S1, driven by Stig Blomqvist.
