China’s new energy vehicles are now developing by leaps and bounds, and more and more new brands are being created and entered the eyes of consumers. AIWAYS is such a new energy car company born in the wave of new energy vehicles. Maybe this name has not been heard by many people, but mentioning Audi’s Quattro four-wheel drive system is sure that many fans and friends know. Now Roland Gumpert, the father of Audi Quattro, has joined AIWAYS Auto and he is the CEO of the German subsidiary.
Recently, Roland Gumpert unveiled the new sports car AIWAYS Gumpert Nathalie at 2019 Shanghai Auto Show, Gumpert Nathalie is from AIWAYS’ German subsidiary, Roland Gumpert is the CEO of this company. Gumpert Nathalie is a high-performance sports car in order to open the European market.
