Audi Brasil Distribuidora de Veículos is a Brazilian company that imports and distributes Audi cars into Brazil. It was established in 2000 as a joint venture named Audi Senna.

History

In 1993, Audi signed an agreement with Senna Import, a company owned by Formula One driver Ayrton Senna and his family, for importing and selling Audi cars into Brazil. The imports began in 1994.[1][2]

In December 1999, the Senna family and Audi agreed to the creation of a joint venture.[3] It was established in 2000 as Audi Senna. The Senna family (through Senna Import) owned a 49% stake while the rest was owned by Audi.[1][2]

In 2005, Audi acquired the Senna stake in the venture, turning it into a wholly owned subsidiary and giving it its present name.[1][2]
