The Audi 50 was a three-door supermini hatchback launched by Audi in 1974 and sold only on continental Europe. The car was offered with a 1093 cc engine producing either 50 or 60 PS (37 or 44 kW/49 or 58 hp) for the LS and GL models, respectively. The model was popular in Europe for both its high specification for a car of that time and the relatively low cost it was sold at.
The car was rebadged by Volkswagen and sold as the Volkswagen Polo in 1975. The two models were sold alongside each other for 3 years, but the cheaper Volkswagen model outsold the 50, and Audi discontinued the 50 in 1978, after a total production of 180,000 units, with the Polo range contining through numerous generations to the present day.
