The Audi Type G is a passenger car produced by Audi between 1914 and 1923. It is Audi's smallest and least powerful pre-war car.
The vehicle had a four-cylinder two-block in-line engine with 2,084 cc of displacement with which developed a maximum of 22 PS (16 kW; 22 hp) at 1900 rpm. Power was transmitted to the rear wheels through a four-speed countershaft gearbox and a steel propeller shaft. A top speed of 65 km/h (40 mph) was claimed. The mechanical foot brake worked directly on the propeller shaft.[1] The car had a ladder frame and two leaf-sprung solid axles. It was available as a sports two-seater.[1]
1,122 Type G Audis were built, making this the biggest selling Audi prior to the creation, in 1932, of the Auto Union.
