After collecting no less than six awards for its new models in 2009, Audi Middle East continues the winning streak in 2010 and collects five awards from renowned Middle East car magazines. 

With three awards the Audi R8 Spyder V10 collected the most accolades, proving itself as 2010 lighthouse model for Audi. In addition to the title of “Convertible of the Year” by both Evo Middle East and Wheels, the readers of Car Middle East voted Audi’s latest 525 hp V10 Spyder model their “People’s Choice”. 

Less than a month after its market launch the new Audi A8 L already collected its first award as “Best Performance Limousine” from Automobile magazine and Future TV program. The 340 bhp suped up version of the Audi TT, the

Audi TT RS, collected a further award from Wheels magazine.

With several new models including the new Audi A1, A6 and A7 to be launched and many dealer network development projects on the way, we are aiming to make 2011 another great year for Audi in the region.” 

Meanwhile in Audi’s home market Germany nearly 93,000 readers of the specialist car magazine “auto motor und sport” awarded top honors to four Audi models in the “Best cars of 2011” survey  – the Audi A1, the A4/A5, the R8 Spyder and the Audi Q5.
