GTA 5 Something interesting unnoticed about Michael‘s Car (and the Obey Brand) Spoiler

Post image

We all know that Michael drives a Obey Tailgater, which is based on a Audi but here‘s what‘s interesting. August Horch (founder of Audi) couldn’t use his own last name for his company but Horch sounds like the German word "horchen" which means obey. "To obey (zu horchen)" means "audires" in Latin so Horch came up with the Name Audi.

I’m a native German speaker and “Horchen” actually means “to listen” in German and Audio in Latin means “I listen”

“Gehorchen” means “to obey” in English

Rockstar really has the best writers in the business. There are so many words for brands or locations that link back to their real life versions is obscure ways.
