What is really interesting is that even before the 924 and Audi 100, this engine design had a 'pre-history'.
Back when DKW was still selling two stroke, three cylinder automobiles, Mercedes Benz acquired a controlling interest in the company - as well as the rest of the Auto Union group (NSU).
Mercedes saw the writing on the wall, and developed a I-4 four stroke engine for the last DKW model, the F102.
To differentiate the model from the smoky F102, it was decided to call the new 4s model: Audi/Audi F103/Audi 60/Audi 72.
It was a longitudinal mount (wikipedia has it wrong), front wheel drive - you guessed it - it was canted over at a 45 degree angle.
So the Mercedes design, became an Audi design, then a Porsche design, all evolutionary of course.
No wonder Porsche eventually killed this engine family, it was a bastard child from Mercedes!
