The six-millionth Audi with quattro all-wheel drive has rolled off the production line at the Ingolstadt plant, Germany. The model was a monsoon gray metallic SQ5, which will be delivered to a family in the United States.
This new production record demonstrates the global success of Audi quattro. Since the original quattro, the first Audi with permanent all-wheel drive in the year 1980, this technology has conquered the roads of the world. With approximately 170 quattro versions (including the different body shapes, engines and transmissions), Audi offers the biggest selection of all-wheel drive vehicles amongst the premium manufacturers.
"Dynamism and sportiness, the utmost technical precision and safety - that’s what Audi’s quattro technology stands for. More than 30 years ago, it was recognized as a pioneering accomplishment; today, it is synonymous with technical progress," stated Dr. Hubert Waltl, Audi's Board Member for Production.
