About the Auto Union 1000 S Coupe Blue White Revell 1:18
TL;DR: Revell's 1:18 diecast Auto Union 1000 S reproduces the 1959 coupe in blue and white, a two-stroke-powered car from the alliance of four German marques that later reorganized as Audi. A vintage classic for collectors tracing brand lineage before the four rings.
Long before the four interlocked rings meant Audi, they meant Auto Union, and this coupe carries that name at a point when the brand's future was still uncertain.
Auto Union's Place Before It Became Audi
Auto Union formed in the early 1930s from the merger of four separate German manufacturers, the origin of the logo Audi still uses today. By the late 1950s, when the 1000 S coupe went into production, the brand built cars around DKW's two-stroke engine technology rather than the four-stroke engineering Audi would later become known for. That makes the 1000 S a genuine transitional piece, a coupe from the company's own name before Volkswagen's later ownership dissolved Auto Union and eventually resurrected Audi as a standalone brand. The blue-and-white livery gives the model a crisp, period-correct two-tone presentation.
A Diecast Piece for Brand-Lineage Collectors
Revell's 1:18 execution renders the coupe's rounded, slightly upright 1950s proportions faithfully, distinct from the sharper lines Audi would adopt within a decade of this car's production. For a collection built around German brand history rather than a single marque, the Auto Union 1000 S is a genuinely useful bridge piece, connecting DKW's prewar roots to Audi's later four-ring identity in a way no badge-only display can convey. It rewards the kind of collector who reads the story behind a name change, not just the shape of a coupe.
