Audi Australia has hit an all-time record, exceeding the magic 1,000 unit sales mark following the close of January sales. For the first time in the history of the company, Audi sold 1,025 vehicles in the first month of the New Year.

“After an all-time high in 2007 of 7,225 units, we could not be more pleased with our fast start to the new year. It makes us very confident that Audi Australia will continue its achievement of year-on-year double digit growth in 2008,” said Managing Director, Mr Joerg Hofmann.

“Our January result - an historic number - is a clear demonstration of Audi’s growing prominence in Australia. We continue to be the fastest growing European luxury brand.”

“In 2008, we will continue our strong push in the market with network investment of more than $150 million (from 2008 – 2010), continue our high-profile brand sailing and cultural activities and introduce key new product as part of a massive product offensive, including the new A4, RS6 Avant, A3 Cabriolet and TTS Coupe and Roadster models,” Mr Hofmann added.

Both Audi Centre Perth, WA and Audi Centre Doncaster, VIC sold in excess of 100 units each and were the top-selling dealerships in the nation.

The Audi TT, Q7 performance SUV and the A4 were the top-selling models during January 2008.
