AUDI AG has been presented with one of the automotive world’s most important and
coveted Awards from UK motoring magazine, ‘Autocar’.
The jury of the renowned British car magazine has presented the ‘Autocar
Award’ for ‘Car Company of the Year 2006’ to the luxury German brand from
Ingolstadt.
Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG,
accepted the Award at the site of the historic Brooklands race track near London
this week. In his acceptance speech, Prof. Dr Winterkorn declared: ‘this Award
is for all Audi employees.’
The decisive factor for the Autocar jury was the range of products that Audi
has launched in recent years. When compared to models from premium competitors
such as BMW and Mercedes, the magazine concluded that Audi products ‘offered
equal value, were arguably better built, and often technologically more
interesting. Our exhaustive tests show its models now stand with the best’.
The United Kingdom is the largest European export market for the brand with
the four rings. Audi has doubled its sales here in the last six years.
