Arne Hertz (born 6 June 1939) is a former rally co-driver from Sweden.[1]
His most successful period was from 1977 till 1990 when he partnered Finland driver Hannu Mikkola, first in the Ford Escort RS1600, later moving on to the RS1800. He won the RAC Rally for a second time with Mikkola, in 1978 in the Escort. The pair left Ford in 1980 to join the Audi team, using the 4 wheel drive Audi Quattro and won the RAC Rally again in 1981 for the Germany team. He also navigated Mikkola to his world title in 1983, again in the venerable Quattro. The pair were always contenders on any event they entered during their thirteen years together.
In 1988 when Mikkola switched to the Mazda team, Hertz stayed with Audi, teaming up with German driver Armin Schwarz.
