The August Horch Museum is reviving automotive legends that were once status symbols for wealthy buyers in a special exhibition. The show "100 years of the Horch 8: On the trail of a legend" focuses on the eight-cylinder engine, which stands for powerful acceleration and exceptionally smooth running. The first mass-produced vehicle with an eight-cylinder engine in Germany was presented 100 years ago at the motor show in Berlin, according to the museum. "The Horch 8 became a legend for quality, reliability and elegance."
August Horch was a car pioneer who settled in Zwickau in 1904 and later founded the Audi brand there. Cars have been built in the city ever since - from the small GDR car Trabant to electric models from Audi, VW and Cupra at today's Volkswagen plant on the outskirts of the city.
