Gulf Weekly Next generation Audi showcased

AUDI will unveil four regional premieres alongside the new Audi Q3 and the legendary Le Mans race car – the Audi R18 TDI – at the Qatar Motor Show which opens today at the Doha Exhibition Centre and runs until Saturday.

Taking centre stage is the exciting race car showcasing technologies to be seen in the next generation of Audi products.
 
The Audi R18 TDI clinched the 2011 Le Mans victory for the brand with the four rings at one of the most thrilling and dramatic 24-hour races in Le Mans history.

Since its debut in 1999, Audi has won the world’s most important endurance race 10 times and its successes have repeatedly been accompanied by impressive  technical innovations.
 
Jeff Mannering, managing director of Audi Middle East, said: ìThe Audi R18 TDI sets the tone for what’s to come at Qatar Motor Show.

"The competence in ultra-lightweight design, engine technology and connectivity solutions that comes from motorsport translates directly into our production vehicles, including every model that you will see on the stand at the Qatar Motor Show. We have four exciting regional premieres in store for our visitors."

Sharing the limelight is the much-awaited Audi Q3, which made its regional debut at Dubai Motor Show in November. The Audi Q3 is the brand’s smallest SUV yet and will be available in Audi showrooms across the Middle East shortly.
