The luxury car maker recorded sales of 425 cars in November 2011, a 66 percent growth over the same period last year (November 2010: 256 cars).

“Given our outstanding performance in the first eleven months of the year, we are well poised to finish the year strongly by exceeding our expectations yet again.  We attribute this growth to our continued focus on introducing an energetic product line, qualitative network growth and strong brand pull. While our strengthened ‘A’ range of limousines are delighting customers with their progressive design, sportiness and dynamic performance, we have established market leadership with our Q5 and Q7 in the luxury SUV segment and the iconic R8 in the super sports car segment. I am confident that our impressive sales performance YTD coupled with our dynamic product line and fast expanding dealer network will ensure that Audi maintains its position as the fastest growing luxury car brand in India”, said Michael Perschke, Head, Audi India.
