HERNDON, VA--July 1, 2010: Audi today reported its sixth-straight record-setting month for 2011 with the best June U.S. sales in company history.

Last month, demand for Audi luxury vehicles increased 16.9% to 10,051 vehicles sold, from 8,601 vehicles sold in June 2010, marking the fourth-best month in Audi of America history. The results not only helped the luxury automaker achieve the best all-time sales of any quarter in the U.S. market, but also marked the third consecutive month with more than 10,000 units sold.

The strong June 2011 results were buoyed by a significant buyer response to the all-new 2012 Audi A7, with 772 vehicles sold, as consumers respond to the stylish, technologically advanced vehicle featuring the Audi first-to-market Google Earth navigation system. The Audi's A8 flagship sedan also performed favorably in June 2011, with 482 vehicles sold, a 731% increase over the same period in 2010.

In June 2011, Audi recorded year-over-year sales increases with five of its models: the Audi A4, the Audi A8, the Audi Q7, the Audi R8 and the Audi TT. Through the first six months of this year, Audi has enjoyed more than a 15% increase over the U.S. record-setting pace from 2010.

Consumers continued to respond favorably to the brand's clean diesel technology as the Audi A3 TDI clean diesel model accounted for 46% of the sales mix in the lineup.

Demand for the popular Audi Q7 full-size luxury sport-utility vehicle remained strong with a sales increase of 28.4% year-over-year, and the Audi Q7 TDI clean diesel model accounting for 34% of the sales mix.

The Audi R8 supercar series also enjoyed a significant sales increase of 208.6% year-over-year to 108 vehicles sold in June 2011. Â The sporty Audi TT coupe and roadster also performed well, with sales increasing 8.8% over the same period last year to 186 vehicles sold.

"Consumers are sending a strong signal that Audi holds a desirable position within the high-end sector of the luxury car market due to our exceptionally engineered models," said Johan de Nysschen, President, Audi of America. "All indications continue to point toward 2011 winding up as one of the best years Audi has ever enjoyed in the U.S. market."
