The History of Nissan Cars is an exciting one. The Nissan car company has been around a long time and so has its cars. The original name of the Nissan Motor Company, Ltd. was Datsun and this company was founded in 1932. Nowadays Nissan is part of the Nissan Group which consists of a number of companies from around the world.

Throughout its history, Nisssan has had many relationships with other automakers from around the world. In fact, in the 1930s when cars were first being built, the technology used for it all came from the United States as did the chief designer of the cars. From 1993 up until 2002, Ford was also working with the Nissan company and a result were two minivans, one sold under each company name, that were built exactly the same and used the same parts. Since 2008, the French automaker Renault owns a large part of Nissan. This working together with companies around the world has greatly influenced the Nissan cars which are now the third best selling Asian make on the market.

The giant car statue was already displayed before in Munich, Hong Kong, Beijing, and Berlin. It is too big for the highway too at 10.2 m of length, width of 4.5m, and height of 3.25m. Add the area up and it covered 150sq.m of painted Audi greatness.

The sculpture was originally a contribution for the Germany-Land Ideas project and was originally placed in Berlin near the Brandenburg Gate in 2006.

It took a lot of heavy equipment to bring the Audi sculpture to the headquarters of the car manufacturer for the celebration of their centenary.
