• Readers of “AUTO BILD ALLRAD” vote for Audi A4 and R8
  • Audi A5, A6, and A8 take further podium places
  • 114 models to choose from in 10 categories

Audi once again scooped a double win in the readers’ poll conducted by German trade journal “AUTO BILD ALLRAD.” Two Audi models won the title “4x4 Car of the Year 2008”: the new Audi A4 quattro in the category “4x4 car from € 25,000 to 40,000” and the Audi R8 in the category “4x4 coupes and sports cars.”

Audi also took a few more podium places: the Audi A5 quattro, for example, finished runner-up behind the R8 in the coupe and sports car category. The Audi A6 quattro finished second and the Audi A8 quattro third in the “4x4 cars over € 40,000” ranking. Jörg Felske, Head of Sales for Germany at AUDI AG, accepted the trophies yesterday evening at the Auto Mobil International (AMI) show in Leipzig.

The brand with the four rings already won two of these coveted 4x4 awards in 2007, for the Audi A4 and the Audi A6. Another double win and three additional podium places this year once again make Audi one of the most successful brands in the “Allrad” readers’ poll. Readers were able to choose from a total of 114 vehicles in ten categories this year. Around 40,000 readers took part in the vote.
