The production total comprised 924,085 (810,086) Audi vehicles and 2,095 (1,436) sports cars
of the Lamborghini brand.
High demand for the A3 Sportback resulted in a 6.3 percent rise in production output to
159,581 (150,091) units.
The new Audi TT Coupé was launched in September 2006. This model, built jointly by the
Ingolstadt and Győr (Hungary) plants, is available with a four-cylinder petrol engine featur-
ing innovative TFSI technology or a V6 petrol engine with quattro drive as standard. By the
end of December, the production total for the TT Coupé had already reached 21,461 (8,368)
units. The TT Coupé was followed by the production launch of the new TT Roadster at the
end of the year.
Thanks to high demand, 307,166 (312,930) units of the Audi A4 (saloon and Avant) were
built last year. Production of the new Audi A4 Cabriolet in its first full year in production rose
by 25.6 percent to 27,735 (22,076) units. A total of 7,639 (569) of the RS 4 model family (sa-
loon, Avant and Cabriolet) were built in the 2006 financial year.

coupé were already built during the past year.
