Saudis in Audi? No, try Brits in Audis. It doesn't rhyme, but it's real, since a lot of people in the island nation like to buy four-ringed cars, so many in fact that they recorded record sales in September.
In total, Audi UK delivered 25,829 cars last month alone. This is not only a record for that particular month, but also the best result in 49 years of company history in this market.
These have also contributed to a new, all-time-high sales total of 114,261 cars for the year-to-date to the end of September.
We wanted to put that into perspective, Jaguar Land Rover only managed 10,769 vehicles registered in September, despite being a local producer. In 2012, Audi sold 1,455,100 globally, which basically means that roughly 1 in 10 Audis are sold in Britain.
To blame for these numbers is a 47-strong model range, based on 21 separate model silhouettes. Probably the most popular in Britain is the A3, which now has a very wide range that includes a sedan, Sportback, Convertible and 3-door.
