quattro GmbH is a wholly owned private subsidiary of the German automobile manufacturer AUDI AG, part of the Volkswagen Group. Founded in October 1983, it primarily specialises in producing high performance Audi cars and components, along with purchaser specified customisations. The company takes its name as a homage to Audi's original four-wheel drive rally-inspired road car – the Audi Quattro, and as part of bowing to that homage, always spells its 'quattro GmbH' name with a leading lower-case 'q'. It is located in a 3,500 square metres site at Neckarsulm, near Stuttgart, in the... German State of Baden-Württemberg. With over twenty years experience, their own development and manufacturing factories are based within the larger 10,700 square metres site of the now defunct German automotive maker NSU Motorenwerke AG , on what is now known as Audi's "aluminium plant", or aluminium site. Although "quattro GmbH" as a company may be relatively unknown, its core products include the Audi RS4, the Audi RS6 and the Audi R8.
