Audi announced today that it has reached a significant production landmark - the ten millionth midsize car, based on combined figures of the A4 and its Audi 80 predecessor. The vehicle that marks the landmark is a Misano Red Audi S4 with a black and alabaster-white interior and a V6 generating 333 hp.
“Ten million midsize vehicles is an achievement which makes us thrilled and proud,” says Frank Dreves, Board Member for Production at AUDI AG. “Thanks to its sophisticated technology and excellent quality, the Audi A4 is our bestseller – winning over customers in every market since it was launched. With our strong team and our effective Audi production system, we will continue writing this success story, especially as a modified version of the Audi A4 will soon be launched.”
The odometer that now reads 10 million started ticking back in 1972 when the first generation of Audi 80 was launched. The A4 followed in the 90s, and we are now at the fourth generation.
