AUDI has broken its sales record from 2008 in the first 11 months of this year.

Between January and November the brand sold around 1,003,900 cars, beating the sales figures of the previous best year in the company's history (1,003,469). Compared with the same period of the crisis-hit 2009, sales figures were up 15.3 per cent, driven by high global growth rates.

Audi's commitment to the region was confirmed through the foundation of its fully-owned subsidiary in 2005: Audi Middle East. The Middle East model range comprises the A3 Sportback and A4, the A5, S5 and RS 5, the A5 Sportback, A5 Cabriolet, A6, S6, the TT and TT RS Coupe and Roadster, the A8, the Q5, Q7, the R8, the R8 V10 and the R8 Spyder V10.

The brand's popularity also continues to grow in the US market, with sales climbing 37.5pc in November. In China, it has exceeded the for the first time.

Peter Schwarzenbauer, member of the board of management for marketing and sales, confidently said: "Here at Audi we are preparing for a significant rise in demand next year, too."
