Audi Sport mourns the loss of Dieter Basche

The Audi Sport family is mourning the loss of Dieter Basche: the former Head of Audi Motorsport has died at the age of 88. Basche was an engineer at Audi Sport from the very beginning. Iconic rally and racing cars such as the Audi Sport quattro S1, the Audi 90 quattro IMSA-GTO and the Audi V8 quattro for the DTM bear his signature. Basche remained closely associated with the brand with the four rings even after his retirement. “Audi owes many victories and championship titles to Dieter Basche. He was a brilliant technician, but above all a great person and extremely popular at the Audi Sport alumni reunions,” said Rolf Michl, Managing Director of Audi Sport GmbH. “Audi was in his heart. We will miss him.”
