Roland Gumpert is best known for his leading role in the Audi competitions department - he ran Audi's Motorsport division in the '70s and '80s - but in January this year Gumpert left Audi to team up with MTM boss Roland Mayer. They have set up a new company, Gumpert Sportwagenmanufaktur, with the aim of producing a range of sports cars using mainly Audi mechanicals from a new factory situated within spitting distance of Audi's base in Ingolstadt.
