OVERVIEW

The Audi Forum Neckarsulm is the public gateway to one of Audi’s most historic production sites. Opened in 2005, the facility was created to connect customers, enthusiasts and visitors with the people, technologies and craftsmanship behind the vehicles built at the adjacent Audi Neckarsulm Plant.

Serving as far more than a visitor center, the Audi Forum Neckarsulm combines customer vehicle delivery, factory tours, exhibitions, dining, retail and event spaces within a single destination. It offers guests the opportunity to experience Audi beyond the showroom by showcasing both the company’s manufacturing expertise and its heritage.

Located directly alongside the production campus, the Audi Forum Neckarsulm has become an important meeting place for Audi owners, employee events, international visitors and enthusiasts exploring the history of one of Germany’s most significant automotive manufacturing sites.


HISTORY

The opening of the Audi Forum Neckarsulm reflected Audi’s growing emphasis on creating closer relationships between customers and the brand.

As the Neckarsulm plant expanded its role in producing premium vehicles and high-performance models, Audi recognized the opportunity to provide visitors with greater access to the company’s manufacturing operations. The Audi Forum Neckarsulm was designed as both an architectural centerpiece and an introduction to the world of Audi, welcoming customers taking delivery of a new vehicle as well as guests interested in learning how Audi automobiles are engineered and built.

Since opening, the Audi Forum Neckarsulm has become an integral part of the Neckarsulm campus and one of Audi’s principal visitor destinations in Germany.


The regularly rotating brand exhibition can be found on the ground floor.

CUSTOMER DELIVERY

One of the Audi Forum Neckarsulm’s defining experiences is customer vehicle delivery.

Customers taking delivery of a new Audi receive their vehicle within the Forum before beginning their ownership experience at the factory where many of the company’s premium models are built. The delivery process is designed to provide a memorable introduction to the vehicle while allowing owners to explore the surrounding campus, exhibitions and hospitality facilities.

This direct connection between manufacturing and ownership reflects Audi’s philosophy of bringing customers closer to the people and processes behind their vehicles.

FACTORY TOURS

The Audi Forum serves as the starting point for guided tours of the Neckarsulm production facility.

Visitors gain insight into modern automobile manufacturing through carefully planned routes that highlight body construction, assembly processes, logistics and quality assurance. Depending on production schedules and operational requirements, tours may also showcase advanced manufacturing technologies and the craftsmanship involved in building Audi’s premium vehicles.

These tours provide a unique perspective on the complexity of modern automotive production while illustrating the close relationship between engineering innovation and manufacturing excellence.

AUDI EXCLUSIVE SHOWROOM

Located on the second floor of the Audi Forum Neckarsulm, the Audi exclusive Showroom showcases the breadth of personalization available through Audi exclusive, the brand’s bespoke customization program managed by Audi Sport GmbH.

The showroom features a regularly changing display of Audi models commissioned with unique specifications, demonstrating how customers can tailor nearly every aspect of their vehicle. Beyond exterior paint finishes and interior color combinations, the exhibit highlights the extensive range of materials, craftsmanship and design possibilities available through the program.

Interactive displays and material samples allow visitors to explore many of the options available to Audi exclusive customers, including leather and Alcantara upholstery, decorative inlays, contrast stitching, thread colors, seat piping, personalized trim elements, wheel designs and special paint finishes.

LEGACY

The Audi Forum Neckarsulm represents more than a visitor center. It embodies Audi’s belief that the story of a vehicle begins long before it reaches the road.

By bringing together manufacturing, history, customer experiences and hospitality in a single destination, the Forum offers visitors an opportunity to understand how Audi’s vehicles are conceived, engineered and produced. Whether taking delivery of a new automobile, exploring the factory or discovering the legacy of NSU and Audi, guests experience a direct connection to one of the company’s most important sites.

Today, the Audi Forum Neckarsulm remains one of the best places to experience Audi at its source, offering a window into both the brand’s heritage and its continuing pursuit of Vorsprung durch Technik.
