Volkswagen: Revival of the Auto Union name after Porsche merger
If true, this would be great! Volkswagen is looking into reviving the Auto Union name after merging with Porsche.
Made famous by the Silver Arrow grand prix cars of the '30s, and made infamous when Adolf Hitler commissioned Ferdinand Porsche in 1933 to create a German competitor to dominate the series, the name still carries a stigma post-WWII. Chairman of the Volkswagen Group, Dr. Ferdinand Piech, is said to have suggested the title as an umbrella corporation that would incorporate the two automakers.
