Broken Dreams: Audi Avus. The Art of Aluminium

Michelangelo always insisted that every block of stone has a statue inside it and that it is the task of the sculptor to discover it by removing the superfluous from around it to bring it out into the open. The same can also be said for the Avus: Audi’s first all-aluminium car was completely clothed in aluminium when it first saw the light of day in 1991. Seen today, this prototype offers a strength and charm worthy of the greatest sculptures by the great Italian artist.
