Audi: Scoring big at World Car of the Year award

The Audi TT was named "World Car Design of the Year" and the Audi RS4 won the title as "World Performance Car". Congrats!

Audi took top honors in two other categories. The recently-redesigned TT was named World Car Design of the Year, out-polling both the Citroë n C4 Picasso and Fiat Grande Punto. "The previous car was an icon," said Johan de Nysschen, head of Audi operations in the U.S. , which made it extremely challenging to come up with a successor, but he declared the new model "true" to the original while being both "bold and modern."

Meanwhile, Audi's compact muscle car, the RS4, was named World Performance Car, besting some stiff competitors, the BMW 335i and Porsche's newly-redesigned 911 Turbo.
