Made in Germany | Profile Audi CEO Rupert Stadler

Rupert Stadler has one of the most prestigious jobs in the German car industry. The 45-year-old has been chairman of the board at Audi since the beginning of 2007. The business studies graduate and former Finance Manager had some trouble at the beginning. Many regarded him as a man of figures rather than a true car enthusiast.He first joined Audi in 1990 at the age of 27 as a financial controller in marketing and sales. His big break came when Ferdinand Piëch at the time still chairman of the board at VW appointed him as his chief aide in 1997. Stadler loves debates and doesn't mind courting controversy. In the middle of the climate change debate,Audi unveiled its first sports car. He also appears undaunted by the global financial crisis. He has guaranteed his staff work until 2011. By 2015 he has set himself the goal of making Audi the most popular premium car brand. Manuela Kasper-Claridge portrays Audi's chief executive.

Can you build us a low cost easy to repair ( "works-in -a-drawer")- type drivetrain like the old vw karmann ghia and beetles except with front  mounted drivetrain, easily removable transmission as well as engine or engine/electric motor hybrid unit . With the old KG's, you could remove the engine without a lift and replace the clutch or put a rebuilt engine back in in a few hours. Should be able to do this by designing for a front pull-out engine/transm unit that can be easily separated
