Audi A5, Audi R8: Coming to China!

Audi has now confirmed to introduce the Audi A5 and even the Audi R8 also in China, the fastest growing market for Audi and already called their second homebase.

AUDI AG will import its R8 sports car and A5 sports sedan into the Chinese market next year as it taps the market of private auto buyer to boost sales and raise its market share.

The R8 model will be introduced early next year and the A5 will hit the market in the first quarter, according to Werner Paul Eichhorn, general manager of FAW-Volkswagen Audi Sales Division.

“Our current product line-up and future models in China will have more sports features and target social elites,” said Eichhorn. “The models would be a customer’s second or third car.”
