On the occasion of the world premiere of the Audi allroad quattro at the Geneva Motor Show from 2 to 12 March 2000, Audi is presenting this latest model on the World Wide Web. The virtual presentation of the Audi allroad quattro can be found at

against a backdrop of Patagonian mountain scenery in South America. A tour through the landscape of the Andes shows the visitor the allroad quattro's versatility. Whether it is the 4-level air suspension, design details or the driving pleasure it offers at higher speeds - flash animations and videos make this website highly dynamic. A panoramic view (IPIX) allows users to take a first digital look into the interior.
The launch of the allroad quattro coincides with the twentieth anniversary of the Audi quattro driveline. A "Heritage Special" for the anniversary shows users the milestones of this technology: from the original quattro to the allroad quattro.
During the Geneva Motor Show, Internet surfers can take part in the "Mystery of Patagonia" game. The first prize is an air trip to Patagonia.
Audi online service for the Geneva Motor Show
Audi has set up a service-oriented Internet site at www.audi.com/genf: with information on the city, the Motor Show, a route planner and online booking functions for flights, hotels and car rental, visitors to the site can plan their journey to Lake Geneva completely online. A city map, a restaurant guide, tips on bars and clubs, information on cultural events and a list of important addresses and telephone numbers enable motor show visitors to make detailed preparations for their trip.
Two webcams will transmit pictures non-stop from Audi's stand throughout the Geneva Motor Show.
Information on motor shows worldwide

The visitor can obtain information on numerous worldwide motor shows including dates and highlights of past events such as Detroit, Frankfurt or Tokyo.
