Audi celebrates 1 million cars and 30 million engines built in Hungary

Audi TT RS Coupe

The one millionth car has rolled off the assembly line at Audi Hungaria, powered by the 30 millionth engine from Gyor: a 5-cylinder TFSI with 400 hp. The record-setting car is an Audi TT RS Coupe in Catalunya red. Audi Hungaria took up series production of the sportiest model of the TT model line in August.

Engine production began at Audi Hungaria in 1994. The first engine produced in Gyor had four cylinders and five valves. Over the years, the portfolio of engine production was continuously expanded, new engine types were introduced, and Audi Hungaria developed into what it is today: the world’s biggest engine producer. Currently, 216 engine variants are manufactured at the company. Each day, employees build a total of 8,800 four‑, five‑, six‑ and eight‑cylinder engines. With a total of 30 million engines built, a total of 5 billion hp have been brought to the roads.

Automotive production began at Audi Hungaria in 1998 with the assembly of the TT sports car. Additional models followed, including the RS3 and A3 Cabriolet. The second‑generation Audi TT Coupe and Roadster are also produced in Gyor, along with the sporty RS models.

Audi Hungaria opened the automotive plant, which covers the entire range of vertical integration, in 2013. In addition to assembly and a press shop, a body shop and paint shop have been established in Gyor. Series production of the Audi A3 Sedan began in the new automotive plant, as did that of the A3 Cabriolet. The third-generation Audi TT also rolled off the assembly line in Gyor.

The Audi Q3 will soon expand the range of automotive production in Gyor. With the construction of a new body shop covering 80,000 square meters, the company is already preparing for the production of the new model.
