Audi is offering its enthusiasts a guided tour of its production plant at Ingolstadt, Germany, without breaking any forms of lockdown.

AudiStream is an online interactive tour of Audi's largest factory, roughly the size of Monaco, and has its very own 'Ingolstadt Audi' train station. Yeah, really.

Audi has been building cars at the colossal site for more than 70 years. In 2019 alone, it produced more than 441,608 cars.

According to the manufacturer, 'modern production systems and high-tech solutions enable highly efficient, sustainable manufacturing, which has used only green electricity from 2012. Reducing the worldwide ecological footprint is a great priority for Audi, which aims to achieve CO2-neutral production locations by 2025.'

Using AudiStream, viewers can cover the site in as little as 15 minutes from anywhere in the world. All you need is something that can get on the internet (which, if you're reading this, you will) and you can access AudiStream free of charge.

Fans of the four rings will experience the A3 bodyshop and the A4 assembly line, all from a safe and virtual distance.

They will see how 2300 cars are produced daily by 45,000 workers, moving through every part of the process, right up to the point when the engines are switched on for the very first time.

All along the way, visitors will learn all the technical and technological detail behind Audi's Vorsprung durch Technik philosophy, thanks to an experienced tour guide who can answer all those burning questions over a live interactive discussion or online chat.
