After watching the episodes of you all reading comments from trolls, just like to say that all your videos are amazing, car shows now days seem to be about auto parking systems/safety and technology to help people who don't know how to drive, but for those of us who still do, your whole Drive team fulfils these needs by providing passionate reviews of cars, well done!
I drove the red S1 Quattro at our shop in Indiana where we currently look after it. Growing up in Africa, coming to work with and for Audi...the best possible dream that came true.
Thank you for uploading videos of cars with nostalgia. For a younger viewer like myself videos like this help me learn about automotive history. Thank you
Great video JF, I enjoyed every minute of that. You guys have really come a long way from the first Road Testament show I can remember. Keep up the good work!
How about showing that '65 Audi, you talked about it and I expected for the camera to turn and film it but nothing. Other than that great video, nice to hear about Audi history.
you can't ignore the fact that they are not as fun to drive as thier respective rivals from BMW and mercedes , the haldex based quattro is effective but boring and pushy , the torsen if far better , the S and RS are performence monsters but they are not made for the track , if you drive them a notch under the limit they are awsome , a little bit more and they become pushy , guess who drive at the limit all the time on public roads ? no one.
Say you are right about BMW's they are a sharper driving experience with less cabin space overall but most Merc's are more luxo bardgy driving style just like Audi's sure they all make fast low slung cars but most are just including 5 and 7 series aimed at an older demographic with plenty of cash who still want a cool car.
well i didn't drive all the line up for all the auto makers but from what i drove in audi is a B7 A4 quattro DTM special , A1 122hp and the latest S3 , on bimmers E91 320i E60 330d from the mercs 2007 C200K 2011 E250 CDI and the A45 AMG , from all the cars above i prefer the BMW as a week end car the merc as a daily and the S3 to leave people in the dust on the free way lol , i have a launch control vid of the S3 and A45 , the S3 is just a notch slower even with the power difference , as i said audis are great performers but when it comes to fun they just can't do it for me
lol that's loads, audis will never get over putting their engines to far forward so there is a much smaller transmission tunnel in the cabin.. so yeh that's is a fundamental problem I guess if you are driving flat out all the time. I on the other hand just got rid of an A6 1.8t avant and an e36 323i my motive is family cars that still cool to drive and be stuck in all day lol.
at the end of the day its all depends on compromise , if you choose comfort over fun audi is the way to go most likely with a diesel engine , if you want a little bit of fun you need a bimmer or a jag is all you will ever need when the road open up after being stuck in the traffic you will regret having a diesel or an audi lol
man that S6 avant at the end what a car i really wish i bought that URS6 a few years back. that ANN motor is bulletproof and will make a ton of power also is the best sounding turbo motor ever!
Brilliant video! Very interesting! Would have loved to have seen their museum Quattro S1 E2 though, in my opinion the craziest car to have ever been built!
So, about 18 minutes in when they're taking about the first "new" Audi made in 1965 and both of the guys in frame points towards the car, WHY doesn't the camera guy shows it to the audience?? It is very clear that the car they are speaking about is NOT the silver grey 1974 Audi 100 that is in frame.
I mean, We know what the guys looks like and we can hear by their accent who is speaking, so we don't really have to focus on the persons speaking, do we?
Well I loved the video, consumed a bunch of knowledge I was unaware of previous to this. And yes, while JF does provoke to erase him, it's his natural being, it's not changing so you get over it and become his Internet friend.
Great video. I'm a huge Audi fan, and have toured the factory and museum in Ingolstadt, but would have loved to go to this warehouse and see all of that history in a intimate setting like this. awesome vid.
they might have an audi museum in ingolstadt where the company is located.... but i dont think without a journalist reputation that you can go into the holy lands of audi :/
The Audi museum (which is called "museum mobile" and located next to the factory) isn't big enough for all the cars, so they have changing exhibitions there, especially the Paternoster in the museum. The place this video is made in is not far away from the museum but not accessible for the public. You could call it a warehouse for all the cars they could not put in the museum; also most of the cars there are used on a regular basis for oldtimer events and such, therefor they all have numberplates. I'm surprised that Audi Tradition allowed them to film there though...
ibanez4492 btw, bmw has the same thing. They have a warehouse full of oldtimers and prototypes.... There was an article about it in a german car magazine, they had stuff like a e39 m5 wagon, m3 pickup and cool shit like that
I have been looking to buy a practical performance car for some time now and prior to this it was between a E46 M3 and a B7 Audi RS4. But with the recent snow in my area combined with this video I think I have my winner.
people who don´t like this, are the one that give car fans a bad name these days. Yes, the video is not about cars going sideways and "whoah ey have you seen this" but its more of a classical car show video. We get to see some of Audis treasures and a guy from Audi tells us some interesting stuff, nothing to hate about it.

the sound of 5 cylinders and a HUGE Turbo ---> eargasm!!
As an RS guy of course I really enjoy the "Inside Quattro" series, but I had really wished that they had picked Chris Harris for it...
Wow, great video. Tons of information about the company and fun facts. I can listen to this man talk about Audi cars for hours. Thanks!
20 minutes have never gone by so quickly, i could watch this stuff all day.. JF thank you for not interrupting him. keep up the great work!
I drove the red S1 Quattro at our shop in Indiana where we currently look after it. Growing up in Africa, coming to work with and for Audi...the best possible dream that came true.
Thank you for uploading videos of cars with nostalgia. For a younger viewer like myself videos like this help me learn about automotive history. Thank you
I respect Leo P.
But, thank you for bringing back JF.
One can only listen to so much New Jersey.
Wow, nice video. This could be like part 1 of a 10 part series on just the cars in that room and the history of that company! Keep up the great work!
Great video guys, thank you! I really want a Sport Quattro!
Please make this longer! I could have watched an hour of this!
Great video JF, I enjoyed every minute of that. You guys have really come a long way from the first Road Testament show I can remember. Keep up the good work!
Please more of this. I love to hear the heritage of car companies, it's fascinating to hear how they started and how they have changed thru the years.
what a history! Learning something new makes feel alive!!! ..very grateful, Thank you.
This was SO fascinating, i could listen to such history lessons for hours! Well done, this is for me one of the best on channel. Thank you!
Awesome video guys. Great to have the Audi historian in the private collection explaining it all. Very well done
Incredible!!! I have no idea how anyone can disike or negatively comment on these videos, they are epic!
Amazing story, amazing history!!
Very cool and very interesting. Nice work, JF!
I always get excited for JF's videos. To all the producers of Drive shows; when you see JF just say "Yes Sensei". He is the master! Well done JF!
Awesome video to watch after driving my 4000 quattro around in the snow all day :)
Definitely my favourite /DRIVE show ever. Amazing video, keep it up guys!
Great video, more like this please. Talking with company historians is a brilliant approach.
I love the stories about Audi's history...but really, the historian looks like Rowan Atkinson. lolz. Good job /Drive! :D
1986 Audi Quattro CS4000. Great car. Miss it. Solid as a rock.
Best bit of the video 6:50 -- 7:06
Great Video JF and Drive crew.
How about showing that '65 Audi, you talked about it and I expected for the camera to turn and film it but nothing. Other than that great video, nice to hear about Audi history.
Oh, I thought so but dual headlights confused me somewhat, thats why I didn't recognized it, though that that was one of earlier 80 models. Thanks.
Hands down best drive series yet
I could watch hours and hours of this. Very interesting
Works for me. great video. Too bad people disliked it without even waiting for it to work
Fascinating!
I wonder how many of the haters in the comments have even driven an audi let alone owned one
you can't ignore the fact that they are not as fun to drive as thier respective rivals from BMW and mercedes , the haldex based quattro is effective but boring and pushy , the torsen if far better , the S and RS are performence monsters but they are not made for the track , if you drive them a notch under the limit they are awsome , a little bit more and they become pushy , guess who drive at the limit all the time on public roads ? no one.

when the road open up after being stuck in the traffic you will regret having a diesel or an audi lol
Very nice history class from Audi. I learned lot of things becouse of you /DRIVE . Thank you for this videos :)
Even with Mr. Bean on muscle relaxers, this is a great video, I love Audi! Thanks for posting!
BEST SO FAR!!! OH GOD I love your work guys! Thanks heaps, amazing insite :D
For those who do not know how to properly pronounce certain German car names, or engineer names, this video is a perfect lesson
I could listen to this guy all damn day
For some reason I found that interesting as hell
love it. can't beat this kind of insights!
Love love love it!!!!!!!! Just being in that garage must have been amazing!!!! I want a job jr!!!!!!!!!!
man that S6 avant at the end what a car i really wish i bought that URS6 a few years back. that ANN motor is bulletproof and will make a ton of power also is the best sounding turbo motor ever!
No issue with the video at all. Amazing once again. Love the Porsche developed rs2.
Brilliant video! Very interesting! Would have loved to have seen their museum Quattro S1 E2 though, in my opinion the craziest car to have ever been built!
Great videos guys, loving the series and would like there to be more
So, about 18 minutes in when they're taking about the first "new" Audi made in 1965 and both of the guys in frame points towards the car, WHY doesn't the camera guy shows it to the audience??
It is very clear that the car they are speaking about is NOT the silver grey 1974 Audi 100 that is in frame.
I mean, We know what the guys looks like and we can hear by their accent who is speaking, so we don't really have to focus on the persons speaking, do we?
Bang on, rewound because I thought I missed it.
I never realised Rowen Atkinson had such a big role in Audi.
Well I loved the video, consumed a bunch of knowledge I was unaware of previous to this. And yes, while JF does provoke to erase him, it's his natural being, it's not changing so you get over it and become his Internet friend.
I hope there is a pt 2?? That was awsome, could watch for hours!
Beautiful history.
Excellent video! Thank You!
Amazing video!
It's amazing how much that guy remembers.
That was awesome. More please!
Thank you /DRIVE. This video literally brought tears to my eyes. God bless you guys for making this.
Great video. I'm a huge Audi fan, and have toured the factory and museum in Ingolstadt, but would have loved to go to this warehouse and see all of that history in a intimate setting like this. awesome vid.
I like how everybody is liking the video even though there isn't even one to watch
Please. More from this celler. Hours and hours please
Very, very cool. How can anyone not like this?
GREATEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME.
Awesome series!
This was really cool. Audi definitely has a more confusing history than other companies and it's neat to learn about. Might have to buy another one
History Lessen! Thanks JF!
Mr Bean speaks very good English and clearly knows his subject fantastically well. I found this really interesting, proper car history :-)
I want more of this.. alot more! :D lovley history lesson
What a great history of Audi! I hope this was just Part 1.
997 c2s, e90 sedan and the exige and the raptor you guys have a great list here
JF Musial visiting Audi reminds me of Derek D's JF impression!
"Well in Audi World!"
This is history that I could have paid attention to in school.
Thank you, i loved the video, it's very interesting, he's right, Audi's History is very complicated, but interesting , Thank you !
Great piece. Look forward for next episode. Hopefully will be able to see more cars - we can hear presenter's voice without looking at him ;)
Audi for life. I own a B7 A4 Avant, a C6 A6 Avant, and have owned a B6 A4. Best cars IMO.
Helps if you're logged in. Works fine for us!
Even though I would have loved to know more about the cars, this was an excellent video, nice to know how it all came about. thx
B6 1.8T Quattro here... and make me happy every day
Good stuff! You guys should do an 'Inside BMW' series that would be sick!
nice one, JF.
This was great. Moar of this guy please.
Great video.. Loved the history of the Audi brand.. Also feeling a bit jealous about your encounter with an RS2, JF. ;)
I loved the history lesson!
Had hoped to see the Audi 200 Trans Am and the Audi 90 IMSA GTO
JF didn't say "Got it" once! Victory!
Awesome! Learned a lot!
Is this place open for the public or are we able to pay to visit? I am a huge Audi fan and I have an undying love for the Gen 1 Quattro.
they might have an audi museum in ingolstadt where the company is located.... but i dont think without a journalist reputation that you can go into the holy lands of audi :/
Ah damn. Well a trip to Ingolstadt is in order then! :D
Ispharel Racing btw ingolstadt is not that far away from munich and a good amount of that way is without speed limits XD
The Audi museum (which is called "museum mobile" and located next to the factory) isn't big enough for all the cars, so they have changing exhibitions there, especially the Paternoster in the museum.

ibanez4492 btw, bmw has the same thing. They have a warehouse full of oldtimers and prototypes.... There was an article about it in a german car magazine, they had stuff like a e39 m5 wagon, m3 pickup and cool shit like that
That's why you can only love germany, '193 mph, legally, on public roads'.
All western countries should build super autobahns with no speed limits.
sonof hendrix We have Montana and Nevada in the states... Hundreds of miles of highway with no speed limits..
***** Not according to this: www.speed-limits.com/nevada.htm
TheScarecrow sad that germans killed dozens millions of innocent people also
love thoose kind of videos
Pretty interesting .... I liked this video.
RS2. Porsche brakes. Wagon/estate. 5-cyl. Perfection. Never been bettered.
Its almost as if we have relived this era beforehand and this is a re-run of previous events
Honestly legitimately impressed with how naturally intelligent JF sounds when he narrates, and with how fat Matt Farrah is.
JF wants to drive that estate so bad, as do I
I want that rs2 estate wow .
Great history lesson.
I have been looking to buy a practical performance car for some time now and prior to this it was between a E46 M3 and a B7 Audi RS4. But with the recent snow in my area combined with this video I think I have my winner.
Now that was a super interesting video, and would love to be it much longer, haha.
Also Mercedes asked Porsche to help them with the 500E/E 500 W124.
These videos are great. Mmmm group-b rally!
people who don´t like this, are the one that give car fans a bad name these days.
Yes, the video is not about cars going sideways and "whoah ey have you seen this" but its more of a classical car show video.
We get to see some of Audis treasures and a guy from Audi tells us some interesting stuff, nothing to hate about it.
Great video !!
Nice video!
I never give a sh*t about audi, but this stories are fascinating!
Great video!
The original Quattro sport is my dream car
