Audi Ireland continues to underline its position as the number one premium car brand in the Irish market by achieving a national market share of 5.5 percent for the month of August and 4.6 percent year-to-date. In just eight months, Audi has already managed to surpass its impressive total 2011 sales figures.

Andrew Doyle, managing director of Audi Ireland commented: "The first eight months of 2012 have witnessed Audi increase sales by 9.2 percent in Ireland. Despite the challenges faced by the motor industry as a whole, we have managed to successfully grow our business and increase our market share. In just eight months this year more customers have taken home a new Audi than did in the full year of 2011 - this is certainly very satisfying, and a reflection of the strong demand for outstanding Audi product."
