63AUDI 2006 ANNUAL REPORT
Audi heralded in a new chapter in its
corporate history with the world
debut of the R8* at the Paris Motor
Show, by bringing the flair of motor
racing onto the roads. “This car ex-
tends our model range upwards and
provides our brand with even greater
impetus,” announced Prof. Dr. Martin
Winterkorn. The V8 FSI mid-engine
developing 309 kW (420 bhp), quattro
permanent four-wheel drive and the
aluminium body provide the basis
for superior han
dling characteristics.
The mid-engine
sports car went into
production at Neckarsulm in Sep-
tember 2006 and the R8 will be
appearing on the market in the first
half of 2007.
In 2006 the Audi A4 and A6 were awarded the “Top Safety Pick” for the second
time in succession in recognition of their outstanding reserve safety. Audi is
consequently the only German manufacturer to have received two awards from
the US Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). To merit the top mark, both
models had to come through exhaustive frontal, rear-end and lateral crash tests.
The IIHS regularly conducts crash tests with vehicles on behalf of the American
insurance industry in order to assess their standard of safety.
World premiere
Top marks for safety
The brand with the four rings became
the mode of travel of a Bavarian Prime
Minister for the first time in 2006. In
November, Dr. Edmund Stoiber took
receipt of the keys to a very special
premium-calibre vehicle from Ingol-
stadt: the armour-plated Audi A8 L
W12 Security. This car meets very rig-
orous safety requirements and has
been granted the highest security
classification by the Wiesbaden-
based Federal Criminal Police Office.
