“Our half-yearly sales performance this year is in line with our expectations and has set a new mark for us in India. This performance can be attributed to the positive response that Audi has received from its customers who truly appreciate our luxurious and dynamic design and our progressive cutting edge technology, inspired by our brand DNA ‘Vorsprung durch Technik’. This is the beginning of what we believe will be Audi’s most successful year in India to date and I am confident that we will continue to provide the discerning luxury car buyer with a highly energetic product line and exceptional service", said Michael Perschke, Head – Audi India.
