Success through innovation In 2002, Audi added a further accolade to its long list of sporting achievements: its third win in a row at the Le Mans 24 Hours. Audi has thus finally secured a place in motor sport’s hall of fame – and acquired valuable experience in the process. Motor sport has always provided a crucial test for innovations. Ideas that were first tested out in motor sport range from a new aluminium frame

structure and a new wishbone to a new generation of engines. These developments were perfected in the S and RS models, the most dynamic of Audi vehicles, and are the most vivid example of Audi’s sporting prowess. They reflect the emotionally charged qualities that make Audi something special: power, pleasure and performance.

Success through expertise – our products Every Audi is pioneering as far as technology, design and driving pleasure are concerned. From the innovative A2 to the prestigious A8 – every car is perfected, intelligent and progressive. A fact that we can be proud of.

Success through foresight – technology and environmental protection Nowadays customers expect more of their cars. They not only want a vehicle that will get them and their passengers from A to B but one that is technically perfect, as safe and environmentally compatible as possible. We want every one of our cars to satisfy these requirements.

Success through teamwork – our employees Working in a team is not only easier, it also produces better ideas. All our innovations, whether in the field of technology or new design, are the result of a joint effort. This means that every employee benefits from the experiences and ideas of others.

Success through commitment – markets and customers The name Audi not only stands for a quality car manufacturer. Audi is also behind a number of sports and cultural events in the role of sponsor. In this way it succeeds in forging a link between the brand’s key areas of expertise – design and sports appeal – and other areas that are important to our customers.

If one were to seek a phrase to encapsulate developments at the Audi Group during 2002, it would simply have to include the word “sportiness”. Sportiness, because Audi has assumed responsibility for the sports-oriented brand group within the Volkswagen Group. This group, comprising the three brands SEAT, Lamborghini and Audi, embodies three core skills: technology, design and motor sport. Synergy benefits are exploited above all in the sphere of design and development. Sportiness suitably describes 2002 because Audi clinched its third successive victory in the world’s toughest endurance race, the Le Mans 24 Hours. Audi is now one of only five great brands to have pulled off this feat in Le Mans’ almost 80-year history. FSI petrol direct injection technology was instrumental in this triumph, in which it underwent its baptism of fire. Audi brought FSI versions of its A2 and A4 models onto the market in 2002. Finally, sportiness sums up 2002 for Audi because last year witnessed our successful launch of the Audi A8, the sportiest luxury saloon car on the market. The media, customers and, significantly, the jury of the “Golden Steering Wheel” award have all confirmed the winning qualities of our new top model. The performance of AUDI AG itself in 2002 merits comparison with the world of competitive sport: Audi vehicle sales held up very well, and this despite considerable consumer reticence in a number of important markets. The previous record total from 2001 was bettered by nearly 16,000. We have set ourselves ambitious targets for 2003, which will undoubtedly be a difficult year: we aim to give the brand an even sharper and sportier profile with the new A8 and the next-generation A3. Various pioneering design studies will offer our customers a glimpse of the future shape of the Audi brand. We moreover wish to enhance efficiency throughout the company. We will rise to the challenges that present themselves with our motivated workforce, drive, systematic focus on the customer and a healthy dose of that vital sporting panache. My sincere thanks are due to all those who have contributed towards the continuing worldwide success of Audi. Ingolstadt, February 21, 2003

Report of the Supervisory Board

Dr.-Ing. e.h. Bernd Pischetsrieder, Chairman of the Supervisory Board

Audi completed the 2002 financial year on a successful note despite recessive car markets, and once again enjoyed a year-on-year rise in worldwide vehicle sales. The record-breaking figures are not, however, fully reflected by the earnings figure. Additional burdens as a result of the generally weak state of the market, together with extensive capital expenditure on the technical development of new products that will serve as a basis for future success, resulted in a slight downturn in earnings. Through these capital investments, the Board of Management and Supervisory Board have laid the foundations for continuing success in the years ahead. It is greatly to the credit of management and workforce alike that AUDI AG has yet again been able to achieve record-breaking vehicle sales in the face of difficult market conditions. The Supervisory Board expressly thanks all concerned for their outstanding contribution. Throughout the past year, the Supervisory Board was able to form an impression of the company’s situation, its business progress and developments on its markets at quarterly meetings and by means of detailed reports. The financial, personnel and investment plans for the years 2003 to 2007 were approved at the meeting on December 9, 2002. The Supervisory Board was in addition presented with detailed reports on the business progress of the principal subsidiaries. The Supervisory Board likewise regularly monitored the company’s progress outside the context of its meetings and actively supported the work of the company’s management. The members of the presiding committee held preparatory consultations before each meeting. The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Audi Group and the Annual Financial Statements of AUDI AG, together with the combined Management Report for both the Audi Group and AUDI AG, have been audited by PwC Deutsche Revision Aktiengesellschaft Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft and have received the unqualified certification of the auditors. The subsequent examination by the Supervisory Board likewise revealed no cause for objections. At its meeting on February 21, 2003 the Supervisory Board ratified both sets of accounts in accordance with Section 172 of German Stock Corporation Law, which are thus established.

One of the focal aspects of its deliberations in the past year was the need to assure adequate space for the relocating of suppliers to Neckarsulm. In this connection, the Supervisory Board unanimously approved the purchase of a site for development close to the plant. The Supervisory Board in addition considered the matter of corporate governance in considerable depth. The recommendations of the “German Corporate Governance Code” Commission on sound, responsible corporate management and governance were discussed at length. The Supervisory Board passed resolutions to ensure that all recommendations are implemented. Changes were required in particular to ensure that members of the Supervisory Board and committees are remunerated in a differentiated, performancebased manner. The change relating to the remuneration of the Supervisory Board is still to be approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting. The Board of Management and Supervisory Board will propose a corresponding amendment to the articles of incorporation to the Annual General Meeting on May 14, 2003. With effect from July 1, 2002 Dr. Horst Neumann took over responsibility for the Human Resources Division from Dr. h.c. Andreas Schleef. Dr. h.c. Schleef – Chairman of the Board of Management of SEAT S.A. – was assigned the additional responsibility of “Chairman of the Board of SEAT S.A.”, a new division at AUDI AG, with effect from March 7, 2002. Rupert Stadler was appointed to the Board of Management of AUDI AG with effect from January 1, 2003, initially as member without portfolio. He will take over the Finance and Organisation Division from Peter Abele, who is retiring on April 1, 2003. Dr. Werner Mischke was appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. with effect from January 1, 2003. He has in addition taken on the post of Chairman of the Advisory Board of quattro GmbH and responsibility for the motor sport activities of Audi and Lamborghini. Likewise with effect from January 1, 2003 Dr. Werner Mischke surrendered his responsibility for the Technical Development Division, by agreement with the Supervisory Board. Since that date, Dr. Martin Winterkorn has been in charge of this division in addition to his duties as Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG. There have been the following changes on the Supervisory Board: Helmut Dotzauer retired, surrendering office on June 30, 2002 after serving on the Supervisory Board for more than nine years. The Supervisory Board would like to thank Mr. Dotzauer for his immense initiative and valued contribution to the work of this

committee. Upon the application of the Board of Management, the Registration Court of Ingolstadt appointed Joachim Dilger as supplementary member with effect from July 1, 2002. There is still no foreseeable improvement in the wider economic picture at the start of 2003. The Audi Group will nevertheless do all in its power this year to win over new customers and build on the success of the Audi brand through innovative products and outstanding service. The Supervisory Board will support the company’s management and employees in attaining these goals. Ingolstadt, February 21, 2003

A compact power pack – the Audi S3 The first encounter with the S range: the Audi S3. With an output of 165 kW, it is uncompromisingly dynamic and even has the ability to show its heels to larger-capacity challengers.

Where others place the emphasis on superficial appearances, the S3 has a charisma that makes it refreshingly different. Its dynamic, sporty exterior eschews any possible overtone of arrogance or aggression.

Lighter, more agile, more innovative – the Audi A2

Award-winning design The single most outstanding feature of the Audi A2 is its compact, bold, utterly unmistakable shape, concealing a lightweight aluminium body developed by Audi itself. This innovative design with consistently optimised aerodynamics won the Audi A2 a very special distinction: the “2002 Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany”, the highest national accolade of its kind. High standards of safety As on the Audi A8, the principle of the Audi Space Frame (ASF) aluminium body again constitutes the ideal basis for a high passive safety standard on the Audi A2. This high-strength frame structure protects the occupants like a cocoon and impact energy is reduced particularly effectively. The high standard of safety of the Audi A2 within its vehicle category is reflected by the excellent grading of four stars according to the Euro NCAP (New Car Assessment Programme).

Agile athlete with high-tech core The Audi A2 model series has acquired a new top model, the Audi A2 1.6 FSI. Its engine compartment accommodates a 1.6-litre power unit with FSI petrol direct injection developing 81 kW and 155 Nm torque. With this outfit, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in only 9.8 seconds and goes on to achieve a top speed of 202 km/h. The 1.6-litre FSI engine likewise exhibits considerable potential for economical driving, with a fuel consumption of only 5.9 litres of Super Plus fuel over 100 km (according to 1999/100/EC). This is a remarkably low figure for such a spacious vehicle that can accommodate up to five people.

The trendsetter in the premium compact class – the Audi A3

The wisest investment in the compact class The award-winning design together with its impressive quality and range of equipment make the Audi A3 the car with the best value retention in the compact category. According to the Eurotax Schwacke Automobile Index (SAX), the Audi A3 1.8 finished first in its class. The resale value of the other model versions likewise confirm our belief that high manufactured quality and stylish design help a vehicle to retain its value in the long term.

Attractive – dynamic – exclusive The Audi A3 is the embodiment of superb design, quality and sports handling. The exclusive materials used on its interior would not be out of place on a car in the luxury class. Since its market launch in 1996, the Audi A3 has captivated almost 870,000 customers worldwide. There are various engine versions available for each of the three equipment lines – Attraction, Ambition and Ambiente – ranging from the 1.6-litre, 75 kW engine to the high-performance 1.8-litre turbo unit. The two 1.9litre TDI versions with pump-injector direct injection technology and outputs of 74 kW and 96 kW combine driving fun with ecological calibre: they provide substantial propulsion across the entire speed range, yet remain remarkably economical. For even better dynamic performance and active driving safety, quattro permanent four-wheel drive is available as an option.

The sportiest car in the compact class The new Audi A3 is making its début at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2003. It has all the vital ingredients for adding a new episode to the unique success story of the Audi A3. The new Audi A3 again redefines the benchmark thanks to its advanced technology and innovative design. Powerful four and six-cylinder engines, optional quattro drive and the dynamic running gear deliver the driving enjoyment that the athletic shape of its body design implies. Coupled with the extensive equipment range, the second-generation Audi A3 lives up to this model’s established reputation for setting new trends in the premium compact segment.

The quintessence of versatility – the Audi A4

Sheer perfection and dynamism The resoundingly successful Audi A4 saloon and Avant models are available with the ideal engine and transmission combination for every profile of requirements. The tantalising choice starts with an impressive array of engines, comprising seven petrol and four diesel versions, all with one specific thing in common: outstanding traction that makes every journey an experience to savour. The ultra-powerful engine of the Audi A4 1.8 T is new. With an output of 140 kW, the turbo engine with standard-fit six-speed transmission fills the role of top athlete among the four-cylinder models. The Audi A4 2.0 FSI with petrol direct injection, which develops 110 kW in combination with front-wheel drive and a five-speed gearbox, overcomes the ostensible contradiction between sports appeal and efficiency.

Those opting for the multitronic continuously variable automatic transmission benefit from maximum ride comfort coupled with outstanding performance. Another technical highlight, quattro permanent fourwheel drive, is available as an option. Unlimited scope for individualists The array of awards scooped by the Audi A4 suitably reflects its outstanding success. The Audi A4 proves that design can also be highly functional. Both the saloon and the Avant have an unmistakable profile and clear shapes. Over and above the high-grade, practical standard equipment features, there is virtually unlimited scope for customisation, with equipment ranging from the acoustic parking system and navigation to the new light sensor.

Driving for driving’s sake – the Audi A4 Cabriolet

Freedom for individualists The Audi A4 Cabriolet satisfies the appetite for freedom, individuality and luxury in every respect, radiating unbridled vitality. Its elegantly sporty design exudes strength and poise. The dynamic nose end, the subtle tapered shape and the strikingly contoured tail send out clear signals. The eye-catching use of aluminium on the windscreen frame and along the high shoulder line underscores its aura of elegance. The double radiator grille with chrome surround and the flat clearglass headlights with three-tube design clearly identify the Cabriolet as a member of the Audi A4 model family, while giving this version its very own distinctive look. Whether with the hood open and fully retracted or closed, the design is always harmonious.

Here comes the sun – at the push of a button Room for four people, ample storage space and the exhilaration of open-air driving in less than 30 seconds – that is how long it takes for the electro-hydraulic hood to be retracted fully automatically into the soft-top compartment behind the rear seats, at the push of a button. Nothing now stands in the way of soaking up the sun and revelling in that incomparable sense of freedom. The hood, made from three layers of textile with a scratchproof, heated glass rear window, provides effective protection whenever the weather takes a turn for the worse. There are four sporty engine versions, from the turbocharged 1.8-litre straight-four developing 120 kW to the 162 kW, 3.0-litre V6 unit – with either the multitronic continuously variable transmission or a manual gearbox.

A car that breaks with convention – the Audi A6

The fun starts with the choice The Audi A6 is an equally attractive proposition whether as a saloon or an Avant. Clear lines and evocative shapes characterise its elegant silhouette. There are numerous exclusive equipment items or packages available for introducing a distinctive note into the interior. The Professional Line style package places the emphasis on comfort and exclusiveness, whereas the Professional Line sports package centres on sports appeal and functionality. The range is further broadened by the S line sports package. As well as the purpose-developed sports suspension, the S line lettering on the door sills along with distinctive inlays in aluminium and seat upholstery inside the car create an air of individuality. As well as driver and front passenger airbags, all Audi A6 models have side airbags at the front and the sideguard head airbag system as standard features.

Superlative performance The 2.5-litre TDI engine is solid proof that dynamic performance can be further enhanced by certain technical refinements. Tuned up to 120 kW, it enables the Audi A6 to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.3 seconds. But more power does not inevitably mean higher fuel consumption; the 2.5-litre power unit gets by on a modest 6.9 litres of diesel per 100 kilometres (acc. to 1999/100/EC). The multitronic continuously variable automatic transmission has been combined with the 1.9-litre diesel engine for the first time; in combination with the dynamic control program, it assures excellent performance from minimal amounts of fuel. There are nine engine versions in total, with power outputs ranging from 96 kW to 220 kW, some of which can be supplied with quattro drive as an option. All versions offer ample driving fun based on their uninterrupted power flow.

Mobility unlimited – the Audi allroad quattro

Always at the right height Thanks to its variable ground clearance, the Audi allroad quattro masters the challenges of every type of surface – whether rough terrain or a fast motorway. The special air suspension system incorporates four defined suspension heights ranging from 142 to 208 millimetres. The 4-level air suspension automatically regulates the vehicle body’s ground clearance, depending on speed. Alternatively, the height can be selected manually at the push of a button. The Audi allroad quattro is thus not only ideal for driving in comfort on normal roads, but is also perfectly equipped to tackle open ground.

Where there’s a hill, there’s a way The Audi allroad quattro is a fusion of two worlds: it unites the comfort and dynamic power of the luxury class with the all-terrain capabilities of a fully-fledged off-roader. On ordinary roads it is notable for its agility and impressive ride comfort; it takes on rough terrain with equal confidence. The quattro drive distributes the power variably to all four wheels, with the specially developed tyres enhancing grip. The Audi allroad quattro shrugs off extreme gradients of up to sixty percent almost effortlessly. It is also impressively stable when driving at right-angles to a slope. Perfect technology maintains maximum control even in extreme situations – the driver can rely on the Audi allroad quattro.

Dynamic through and through Even at first glance, the aluminium-look underbody guard with ribbed structure, the boldly shaped bumpers and the flared wheel arches are immediate clues to the Audi allroad quattro’s off-road talents. There is a wide variety of equipment versions with the emphasis on touring and leisure. Comfortable seats for five occupants and a luggage compartment with a capacity of up to 1,590 litres offer wide flexibility. The Audi allroad quattro is available with a choice of 2.5-litre V6 TDI engine with 132 kW engine or a 2.7-litre V6 engine with two turbochargers and an output of 184 kW. Both engines are notable for their decidedly ample torque and performance potential, possessing all the credentials for mobility unlimited.

A new spor ting dimension in the luxury class – the Audi A8

Harmonious clarity and elegance Having scooped the “Golden Steering Wheel” for the “Best Luxury Class Vehicle”, the new Audi A8 is already an award-winner; it has achieved this in particular through its systematic sportiness. The silhouette with short overhangs, the coupé-like roof line and a heavily contoured rearward structure send out a clear message of dynamism. The emotionally charged design continues on the interior, which glows with elegance and sensuality. Particular importance has been attached to a driver-centred overall design. With an extensive choice of high-calibre materials, the interior can be given a progressive or a subtle emphasis.

Powerful need not mean heavy The latest generation of the Audi Space Frame (ASF) is used in the Audi A8. The body’s rigidity has been boosted by 60 percent, thus achieving maximum stability and safety from minimal weight. Low weight is moreover a vital ingredient of outstanding road behaviour and agile handling. The Audi A8 also sets new standards in the luxury class with the aluminium adaptive air suspension system, fitted as standard, which is capable of adapting to every driving situation. The firmness of the dampers can be varied within a matter of milliseconds across a range that extends from ultra-sporty to ultra-comfortable. adaptive air suspension – sport, the first sports suspension system in the world to be based on pneumatic springs, is a remarkable equipment option.

More dynamism – more refinement – more fun There is currently a choice of two powerful, spontaneous V8 engines with displacements of 4.2 and 3.7 litres, and developing 246 kW and 206 kW respectively. The engines’ performance is translated into movement by quattro permanent four-wheel drive. Six-speed tiptronic is a new feature of the Audi A8. This transmission always maintains a constantly smooth transition between the various speed stages, producing excellent performance with remarkable refinement. As well as via the selector lever, it is also possible to change gear using the shift paddles behind the steering wheel – a principle adopted from the Le Mans-winning Audi R8. This means that drivers can change gear without having to move their hands away from the steering wheel.

Perfection is the sum of many details The new Audi A8 sets standards with its many technical innovations and extensive standard specification. It is equipped as standard with the MMI – Multi Media Interface – which allows the driver to operate the extensive information and entertainment electronics according to a logical, easily grasped concept without needing to consult any operating instructions. The new adaptive light is an option that illuminates zones that are not otherwise picked up when turning or on tight bends. advanced key is an extra that means the driver need not actively manipulate the key to open and start the car. A sensor in the key releases the central locking when someone carrying this key approaches the car, and the engine can then be started by pressing the starter button on the centre console. The extensive range of innovative details makes driving even safer and more convenient.

Superlative performance – the Audi RS 6

Exclusively understated With a truly awesome output of 331 kW, the Audi RS 6 represents not just the absolute top model in the A6 range, but also the most powerful production model currently built by Audi. It was developed by quattro GmbH in partnership with AUDI AG. The Audi RS 6 is a super sports car and premium saloon rolled into one, and the only model in this class to be available as both saloon and Avant concepts. This means that no compromises need be tolerated when it comes to practical utility, comfort and spaciousness. The design of the Audi RS 6 makes a clear statement – the subtle differences compared with the body of the regular Audi A6 at the front and rear and around the sills lend it a dynamic flavour. The Audi RS 6 sets new standards not just in the domain of sportiness, but also with its exclusive appeal. Its high-quality standard specification, featuring for instance Recaro leather sports seats, Alcantara headlining and concert radio system with BOSE sound system, demonstrates that dynamism and high performance do not exclude the possibility of luxury and practicality.

Our top performer The high-performance Audi RS 6 sources its power from a V8 biturbo engine. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds and to 200 km/h in less than 18 seconds reflects the power of a thoroughbred sports car. Superior calibre and meticulous detail characterise the power unit, with aluminium engine block and two turbochargers, that delivers high torque at low engine speeds, complete with dual intercoolers to enhance the turbochargers’ efficiency still further. The high-traction quattro permanent four-wheel drive efficiently translates the immense output of the V8 biturbo engine into directionally stable propulsion. The Audi RS 6 is the first model to be equipped with the innovative suspension concept Dynamic Ride Control (DRC). A special damping system counteracts rolling and pitching movements while on the move, without the use of electronics. Out-and-out sports driving is even more fun with the five-speed tiptronic with dynamic sport program, an automatic transmission version that has been specially refined for the Audi RS 6.

Pushing back the automotive frontiers – the Lamborghini Murciélago

More than simply a high-tech sports car This automotive legend has its origins in Ferruccio Lamborghini’s decision to start translating his passion for technology and engineering into unique sports cars in the village of Sant’Agata, near Bologna, in 1963. The blend of tradition and technological perfection remains the hallmark of the Lamborghini Murciélago, which, in common with its predecessors, is named after a bull with remarkable fighting spirit. Challenging, uncompromising, aggressive The Murciélago’s design is stripped down to the bare essentials – purism, efficiency and precision, devoid of any superfluous detail. The unmistakable distinguishing characteristic of the Murciélago are its gullwing

doors. The wedge-shaped body, with its short nose and elongated tail, has been built around the overriding technological feature of this car – the engine. An ultrarigid space frame forms the basis; the outer panels are made from high-strength, lightweight carbon, whereas the doors and roof are of sheet steel. An electronically adjusted rear spoiler maintains balanced aerodynamics at every speed. It is likewise obvious from a mere glance at the interior that this is a super sports car. The driver is surrounded by exclusive materials.

Adrenaline rush inclusive At the heart of every Murciélago is a high-performance V12 engine. This fascinating all-aluminium engine musters up 426 kW from a swept volume of six litres. It catapults the Murciélago from 0 to 100 km/h in a breathtaking 3.8 seconds, taking it up to a top speed of more than 330 km/h: the fastest and most powerful Lamborghini ever. The position of the engine at the centre of the vehicle is entirely in keeping with Lamborghini tradition: the six-speed gearbox is located ahead of the engine, with the differential integrated into the engine behind. This produces an optimum distribution of weight. The permanent four-wheel drive with central viscous coupling optimises the transmission of power to both axles. Surplus torque at the main drive axle is automatically diverted to the front axle, thus guaranteeing outstanding traction conditions at whatever speed the car is cornering.

The thrill of high performance – the Audi S4 The new Audi S4 places even greater emphasis on sport than its predecessor, and is even safer to drive too: with the newly developed servotronic steering, which gives it better handling, and a perfected, precisionshift transmission that translates engine power into motion even more effectively. Then there is the utterly enthralling engine: this is the only car in its class to

feature a 4.2-litre V8 engine capable of accelerating it from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds. With an output of 253 kW and quattro drive as standard, driving pleasure is guaranteed. Both the saloon and the Avant radiate a dynamic, powerful aura, stirring up the thrill of high performance at a mere glance.

The Audi Wind Tunnel Centre – technology of the highest calibre

The aeroacoustic wind tunnel – high-tech test bench for world-best results A significant amount of the drag encountered by a car occurs on its underside and around the wheels. Audi specialists have a range of measures at their disposal for further reducing the drag coefficient specifically in these zones without compromising the design. However, the flow of air beneath a car can only be optimised if the actual conditions prevailing when a car is driven can be simulated authentically in a wind tunnel. Simulating road travel with the aid of moving belts In order to reproduce the airflow beneath the vehicle accurately, the vehicle’s movement relative to the road must be simulated. The aerodynamics experts at Audi accomplish this by adopting a technique used in motor racing: a moving belt runs between the wheels, and the wheels themselves are turned by four miniature moving belts. This largely assimilates the airflow with the prevailing conditions out on the road.

The world’s quietest but most powerful automotive wind tunnel When the blower and the entire air ducting were being designed, extreme care was taken to prevent noise from being generated inside the wind tunnel. The Audi aeroacoustic wind tunnel has consequently earned the distinction of being both the quietest and most powerful automotive wind tunnel in the world. Its performance data are impressive: at its reference speed of 140 km/h, the wind tunnel emits just 62 dBA. It is moreover capable of speeds of up to 300 km/h. This gives it a unique international status, serving to emphasise Audi’s proverbial “Vorsprung durch Technik”.

1st-generation acoustic wind tunnels Conventional wind tunnel

Used and esteemed – not just by Audi Not only Audi engineers use the Wind Tunnel Centre for aerodynamic fine-tuning. The wind tunnel is also available to various external partners. The German women’s Alpine ski team, selected ski jumpers such as Sven Hannawald and the Nordic combined skiers of the German Ski Federation (DSV), as well as the Swedish men’s Alpine ski team, regularly conduct tests here as part of their pre-season preparations. Racing teams participating in the American NASCAR series also use the Ingolstadt Wind Tunnel Centre.

The thermal wind tunnel – elaborate cooling for high-performance engines The wide variety of new high-performance engines appearing on the market necessitates significant improvements to the cooling systems. The thermal wind tunnel both perfects and accelerates this development. A special four-wheel roller permits the simulation of driving programs, such as ascents with a trailer in tow. High-speed driving at speeds of up to 275 km/h can also be replicated. In order to simulate realistic ambient conditions, the air temperature can be freely varied across a range of +20° to +50° C. Even the base zone between the rollers can be heated, to represent hot road surfaces. A continuous glass floor provides an unobstructed view of the airflow beneath the “moving” vehicle. These technical details allow the realistic replication of the airflow around the forward structure and through an engine compartment, and make it possible to optimise the cooling systems to be developed.

The vision of the car that avoids accidents

Driver assistance functions – high-tech on board Cars bring us all the benefits of virtually unlimited individual mobility. In order to boost the safety of road users even further, Audi will be employing advanced electronics in future. Audi vehicles increasingly incorporate intelligent sensors which scan the vehicle’s immediate environment. Radar sensors at the front and rear of the vehicle identify other vehicles in front of, behind and alongside it. The attainable level of accuracy with which they can for instance measure distances between vehicles even exceeds a human’s powers of perception. Thanks to their measuring principle, laser sensors are moreover also capable of determining the dimensions – particularly the width – of objects. Video cameras in the vehicle supply information on the limits and course of a lane and on the nature of objects in front of the vehicle. Even in the dark, infrared cameras can generate images of poorly lit people or objects.

By using information from such sensors, Audi intends to realise assistance functions that will help the driver to prevent accidents or further reduce the severity of accidents. Examples of developments that fall into the category of “pre-empting” accidents include the following: The lane changing assistant monitors not only the blind spot alongside the vehicle, but also picks up vehicles approaching from further behind, alerting the driver in good time if they are wanting to change lanes. The lane departure warning system constantly measures the vehicle’s position relative to the lane markings and warns the driver as soon as they start to drift out of their lane. The Night Vision System further improves the driver’s vision specifically at night. We have already achieved significant progress in the field of innovative lighting technology with the introduction of adaptive light on the new Audi A8.

Automatic emergency braking constantly evaluates the rate of approach to objects ahead. If the system detects an impending bumper-to-bumper crash, it automatically applies the brakes hard within a fraction of a second. The deceleration before impact means that the resulting accident will actually be much less severe. The basis on which such functions are realised is a rapidly energised, reliable brake system such as electrohydraulic brakes. These functions will be adopted as standard on future Audi models. Audi adaptive cruise control The first such system will shortly become available as an optional extra for the new Audi A8. It assists the driver by making driving a relaxing affair, however heavy the traffic. Preceding vehicles are detected by a radar sensor. If a vehicle in front is moving more slowly, the target distance between the two vehicles is automatically adjusted by manipulation of the engine, automatic transmission and brakes. Audi adaptive cruise control thus represents an intelligent refinement of the straightforward cruise control system.

The driver can use this function across a speed range from 30 km/h to 200 km/h. It is operated via a special lever which is used to preselect the desired speed. All information pertaining to Audi adaptive cruise control is displayed to the driver in the instrument cluster while on the move. In a new departure, basic settings for Audi adaptive cruise control can be defined for individual drivers via the Audi MMI. The choice of several different distance programs is also unique. This enables the driver to vary not only the distance from the vehicle in front, but also the system’s responsiveness when accelerating again, e.g. after changing lanes – a characteristic that fittingly reflects Audi’s sports character.

Environmental Protection

Audi is an example to many – in environmental protection too

Environmental protection thrives on participation An environmental management system at Audi serves as the basis on which it is steadily improving standards of environmental protection as an industrial enterprise. We first set up a system to comply with the EU EcoAudit and Management Scheme in 1995. In 2000, the Ingolstadt plant in addition received accreditation according to the international standard ISO 14001. According to the requirements of this standard, the environmental management system has to be examined by an external inspector every year. In 2002, too, it was officially acknowledged that Audi has a smoothly functioning environmental management system in place. The principles of our environmental policy include not only the sparing use of resources and minimising the burdens imposed on the environment. Open-handed communication and the involvement of all employees in industrial environmental protection ensure that our environmental goals are systematically implemented. To this end, numerous environmental aspects were integrated into the Audi Production System last year. The Audi Production System – a network of organisational, inter-plant concepts – makes sure that the burden on resources is kept as low as possible and places the focus of production processes on the worker. By incorporating environmental protection into this system, we ensure that every employee is also able to make their contribution towards the implementation of

environmental policies and the attainment of environmental targets. For example, the Audi Production System includes recommendations on how to store waterpolluting substances and how to implement energy and water-saving measures at the workplace. Promoting eco-policies in Bavaria The Environmental Pact for Bavaria was updated in October 2000 with the sealing of the Environmental Pact for Bavaria II. This has the objective of building on the environmental protection partnership between the State of Bavaria and Bavarian industry, and safeguarding and promoting a long-term, environmentally acceptable course of development that also makes economic sense. In the context of its involvement in the “Environmental Pact for Bavaria II – Sustainable Management in the 21st century”, Audi is conducting pilot projects on Integrated Product Policy (IPP) with the support of the Bavarian government. The purpose of IPP is to reduce the environmental impact of products throughout their entire life-cycle, from the recovery of the raw materials, through their production process and useful life, to their eventual disposal. Through these pilot projects, Audi will build on its experience in taking account of the wider aspects of environmental protection and integrating them into its corporate processes.

Back to nature – natural attenuation The natural attenuation method has been tested for the first time at Neckarsulm for the remediation of soil contaminated with chlorinated hydrocarbons. This remediation technique involves making use of the natural attenuation, or self-cleansing, effect. First, the natural attenuation process in the contaminated area in question is observed with the aid of sampling and analytical measures. The mechanisms of natural attenuation are closely analysed and influenced externally if appropriate. With the aid of the data collected, the natural attenuation processes are then simulated; this permits a prognosis of the degradation process. The natural attenuation method makes it possible to compare technical remediation with natural processes and to avoid unnecessary outlay on remedial measures where these produce no added benefit.

Prevention is better than cure Whenever new projects are being embarked upon, it is important to take account of environmental aspects right from the outset. When a new press shop was being designed for the Ingolstadt plant, we opted for mechanical instead of hydraulic presses, as their energy consumption is lower. The presses were located on special mounts to ensure that only minimal levels of vibration from the presses’ operation were transmitted to surrounding zones. Extensive noise studies were conducted and appropriate noise abatement measures then taken. We in addition built water conservation measures into the final plans for the buildings. In this way, Audi ensures that environmental concerns are lastingly and adequately taken into account, for the sake not only of the environment, but also of our employees.

Spor ting elegance – the Audi S6 saloon The Audi S6 is the perfect combination of powerful urge and stylish travel. The elegant exterior conceals a V8 engine brimming with power and mustering up 420 Nm of torque at 3,400 rpm. The S6 is the only car in its class to have quattro drive as standard. This

provides better traction and superior handling, even close to the limits of sports driving. Its aluminium suspension makes it an eminently agile athlete – ideal for even more driving enjoyment on any road, anywhere.

Flexible working hours create job security Based on the company agreement “Audi’s Future – Prospects for Company and Workforce”, the management and Works Council of AUDI AG embarked upon the implementation of various ground-breaking personnel policies in 2002. The focal areas of this agreement include promoting training, equality of opportunity, the compatibility of work with family life, and flexible working hours models. Greater flexibility in working hours is designed to give companies more room for manoeuvre and the individual worker greater scope for tailoring working hours to personal preferences and requirements. The company and the employees thus benefit equally from the scheduled measures. They promote the competitiveness and growth of the company, and safeguard jobs in the long term.

Work and training are inseparable Our business processes are characterised by highly complex products and a great diversity of internal and external networks: development partners, suppliers, logistics partners, dealers and of course the customer need to be integrated into the processes of product development, production and marketing. In order to achieve this, knowledge must constantly be passed on to employees, project teams and all those who are involved in the processes. New knowledge and facts have to be fed into regularly updated databases, to ensure that they are available to all. The successful management of knowledge resources and working in processoriented structures mean that our employees need special qualifications, which are obtained through a combination of traditional learning forms and e-learning. The staging of computer-based online forums to complement traditional face-to-face training permits more focused preparations, more rapid learning periods and

a greater practical emphasis to the dissemination of knowledge. Since 2002, employees have been able to use knowledge that is present within the company at any time or place. The employee portal “Audi mynet” enables them to access information and learning programs from home, too. This introduces a new dimension of flexibility into working and learning – a whole life long. Continuous enhancement richly rewarded We understand continuous enhancement to mean that everyone is entitled to question the processes that exist within the company, highlight scope for improvements and put them into practice. There is a wide variety of ways in which employees can participate in

this process. The teamwork principle means that team members manage their tasks independently, and solve problems on the spot. Workshops, zero defect strategies and improvement programmes are implemented as a means of targeting extensive, further-reaching tasks. The Audi suggestions scheme in addition provides our employees with the opportunity to formulate and contribute creative ideas and solutions. During 2002, employees made 63,124 different suggestions on how our products and processes can be optimised. Almost half the total workforce submitted suggestions. Audi is not the only beneficiary of this broad-based acceptance of the suggestions scheme: over five million euros were paid out in awards to employees, in recognition of the economic success of their ideas.

Our workforce makes a difference Flexible working hours, training and scope for active involvement – the cornerstones of our personnel policy depend critically on the motivation, creativity and initiative of all our employees. Through their personal commitment and dedicated work, they helped lay the foundations for the company’s continuing success throughout the past year. The Board of Management would expressly like to thank the employees’ representatives and the entire workforce for this vital contribution.

Simply more freedom – the Audi S6 Avant The more spacious version of the S6: the Avant. More freedom simply to drive off into the blue – because widening your radius also means broadening your horizons. With its power output of 250 kW, the S6 Avant

ensures that the expectation of dynamic performance is not merely fulfilled, but easily surpassed. Its powerful acceleration can almost make you forget that this is not a sports car.

Motor Sport

Audi motor spor t in 2002 – a year to go down in history

Audi dominates Le Mans and ALMS The 2002 season marked one of the most successful years in the long history of motor sport at the company. Audi finished the Le Mans 24 Hours with a triple victory, winning the toughest car race in the world for the third time in succession. The superiority of Audi’s development of FSI technology became fully evident over the race distance of more than 5,000 kilometres. The 610 bhp Infineon Audi R8 cars were not merely the fastest competitors, they also needed fewer pit stops for refuelling than their challengers, thanks to the lower petrol consumption of the FSI engines. Audi racing cars were likewise unbeatable in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS), one of the most popular race series in North America. The Audi Sport team clinched victory in the driver, manufacturer and team standings for the third year in succession. Audi customers also benefit from success on the racetrack. Thanks to the intensive technology transfer

between motor sport and production-vehicle development, they too can now enjoy all the benefits of racetested engines with FSI technology: reliability, high performance and low consumption. DTM victory for Abt-Audi TT-R There was no stopping Audi works driver Laurent Aiello and the customer team Abt Sportsline in the 2002 German Touring Car Championship (DTM), Germany’s most prestigious race series. The Frenchman dominated the season’s proceedings in the Abt-Audi TT-R and clinched the championship title before the final race, in the face of stiff competition. The Abt-Audi team thus resumed the success story of the Audi V8 quattro, which won the “old” DTM in 1990 and 1991, and the Audi 80 quattro and Audi A4 quattro, which dominated touring car racing worldwide between 1993 and 1997.

Transforming spor tiness into a palpable experience

Savouring the fun of driving, exploring the limits The Audi driving experience – the name for a very special driver safety training course – has been enjoying growing popularity for 20 years. Events range from halfday courses to one-week programmes, and involve various Audi quattro models. In 2002, Audi welcomed over 14,000 participants, including some 4,200 who attended its winter programmes. Audi driver safety training courses are led by topclass instructors, most of whom are former professional rally drivers. They teach the participants all the essentials of safe driving and how to respond correctly in hazardous situations. The exercises include emergency stops, how to take corrective action for understeering and oversteering, and how to avoid sudden obstacles. The degree of difficulty is graded according to the type of driving surface encountered: dry, wet, snow-covered or veritable sheets of ice. Adequate attention is also paid to the driving enjoyment that goes hand in hand with increased control over the vehicle. The annual highlights of the Audi driving experience are the one-week courses on frozen lakes in northern Finland, inside the Arctic Circle. All those who believe they have not yet explored

the limits of their driving abilities will be able to do so here, and can learn how to handle them in this context. Making a début in Paris Audi took the opportunity at the 2002 Paris Motor Show, the most popular automotive exhibition in the world, to launch its innovative exhibition design scheme and give two models their international début: the new Audi A8 and the new Audi S4. The overriding theme of our exhibition stand was sportiness, a fact further underpinned by the dynamic media concept: the international débuts of the A8 and S4, together with film clips from the 2002 Le Mans 24 Hours, were shown on three large screens and countless video monitors. These sequences were interspersed with “speedfilms” – short films featuring rapidly changing images and graphics, accompanied by a specially composed soundtrack to generate a stand atmosphere charged with speed. This core message was underlined by a special motor sport exhibition specially put together for Paris. The winning racing car from Le Mans, the Infineon Audi R8, and numerous other motor sport exhibits captured the attention of exhibition visitors.

The new Audi A8 – share the excitement

“Now” – the campaign for the new Audi A8 Audi created its most elaborate advertising campaign to date for the new Audi A8 – a journey through time featuring various landmark events in the unique history of a company which dates back to 1899. The major challenge in producing the 45-second commercial was to achieve a blend of historical and newly filmed scenes and images. It was necessary to carry out extensive research in the company’s own archives and into international automotive history. The varying quality of the source materials moreover had to be assimilated with the modern-day advertising footage without the intrinsic charm of the historic film clips being lost. A film team of 50 people and up to 500 extras ensured that every scene could be re-enacted as realistically as possible in the commercial. The costumes and backdrops were not the only aspects to reflect historical authenticity. The film cameras used to shoot the scenes were likewise from the eras in question, the oldest one dating back to 1929. With the aid of blue-screen shots and ultramodern image processing, the presenter in the various individual scenes of the story was then incorporated into the historical original material without the viewer noticing. “Now it is time to take on new challenges.” The closing statement of the commercial encapsulates the challenge of creating a remarkable advertising campaign. The outcome was not merely a highly entertaining commercial for a high-tech vehicle, but also a sophisticated documentary of the company’s history.

Maintaining constant, direct contact with our customers represents both a challenge and an opportunity for us. We need to captivate people day in, day out. Precisely this is the goal of Audi Service. The means by which we can achieve this are innovative workshop technologies, comprehensively qualified employees and intelligent services that benefit our customers.

At Audi Service, we have introduced our own customer care concept in order to live up to these standards. There is an extensive network of well-qualified, expert Audi dealers who are able to maintain and repair the new model to exclusive standards. They are supported by Audi’s own experts at the purpose-built Technical Service Centre, which our dealers can contact on a direct hotline whenever needed.

Reassurances that last a car’s entire life The launch of Audi CarLife Plus in 2002 represented a further milestone in customer satisfaction. Audi CarLife Plus provides the customer with comprehensive guarantee insurance for their vehicle, whether new or previously owned. The extent of the insurance cover depends on the mileage and age of the vehicle. Even after the statutory vehicle warranty has expired, Audi customers have the reassurance of being covered against unforeseen mishaps – for the entire life of the car, if they so desire.

Innovative solutions for innovative products Audi Service has already come up with solutions to some of the tasks that will arise in the future. One example is the development of the Audi Pocket Diagnosis System. The compact, handy diagnostic device will make the checking-in of vehicles a swifter and more efficient affair, and therefore more convenient for the customer. The trade has recognised the potential of this revolutionary device, which was awarded the Innovation Prize at the 2002 Automechanika exhibition in Frankfurt.

Audi remains on course for growth

Seventh record year in succession Audi was able to build on the sales successes of recent years in 2002. The previous record from 2001 was just topped again, with unit sales reaching 995,531. Of this total, 742,128 were of the Audi brand and 424 were Lamborghini cars. 252,979 vehicles of other Volkswagen Group brands were delivered via our Italian general importer AUTOGERMA S.p.A. The new Audi A4 Cabriolet enjoyed a highly successful launch in the year under review. Since May, 13,174 customers have purchased the latest version of this classic model. Product events in 2002, however, came to a climax in November when the first of the new Audi A8 were shipped. 2,864 of our new top model had been handed over to their new owners by the end of the year. The company’s export share continued to rise: around two thirds of our cars were sold on markets outside Germany.

Europe Audi’s market share in Western Europe reached 3.8 percent, the highest figure in the company’s history. The market share in Germany held up well at 7.4 percent, in spite of the difficult economic situation. The Audi A4 Avant proved particularly popular in Germany in 2002 – over 60 percent of those buying an Audi A4 opted for this model version. Great Britain was able to consolidate its position as Audi’s largest export market in Europe. Vehicle sales in this market were in excess of 65,500 for the first time last year. This represents a year-on-year increase of around 21 percent. Sales of the Audi TT Coupé in particular are especially healthy, with the sales total for the year having risen to over 7,200 for the first time – around 23 percent up on the previous year’s figure. Great Britain is our largest sales market in Europe for this model. As in the previous year, Italy was Audi’s secondlargest European export market in 2002. Despite the

almost six percent slump in the overall Italian car market compared with the previous year, Audi enjoyed sales growth of 6.6 percent to over 50,100 vehicles. This is attributable in particular measure to the overwhelming success of our Audi A4, which according to a reader poll by the car magazine “Quattroruote” is the most desirable car in its category. Audi was once again able to boast sales of over 41,000 units last year in Spain. In the face of very stiff competition, we have thus held onto our clear market lead in the premium segment. Audi’s high level of acceptance in the Spanish market for company cars is one of the key reasons behind the success of the Audi brand. One of the highlights of the year there was the opening of the Audi Forum in Madrid’s commercial district in June 2002. The Audi brand is now able to present itself to the public in an exclusive facility covering 4,000 square metres. Audi clearly asserted its position among the leading premium brands in France, with almost 40,800 vehicles sold. Although the overall French market shrank by almost five percent in 2002, we were able to match the previous year’s unit sales and boost our market share to 1.9 percent. North America The overall passenger car market in the USA experienced a downturn, falling by about four percent to 8.1 million vehicles in 2002. On the other hand, the luxury segment enjoyed slight growth. Audi achieved record-breaking sales of 85,700 vehicles for the third year in a row in the USA. As a result of the drive to expand the dealer network, the number of exclusive Audi dealers rose from 45 to 65 in 2002, thus creating a basis for further sales growth and qualitative improvements.

The Audi A4 Cabriolet got off to a successful start in the USA in September, drawing attention to the sporty emphasis of our brand’s positioning, as did the third successive triumph of the Audi R8 racing cars in the American Le Mans Series. In contrast to the USA, the Canadian passenger car market as a whole grew by 7.6 percent last year, to one million vehicles. Sales of luxury passenger cars rose by more than 18.1 percent. Audi was able to capitalise on this positive development by boosting unit sales by over 19 percent to 7,236 vehicles, the best sales figure to date in Canada. Asia-Pacific In Japan, the successful restructuring of the sales network, which now comprises 78 exclusive dealer outlets, paved the way for the highest unit sales in ten years in 2002. With over 11,600 vehicles sold, we were able to improve on the prior-year figure by more than 43 percent in spite of the continuing recession in Japan. Above all, the addition of the Audi A4 Avant to the successful Audi A4 range in February 2002 gave us a further substantial boost in the premium segment. The intensification of activities by the Audi brand in Japan was cemented by the establishment of a sales joint venture with the trading company Yanase, the largest Japanese car importer, in November 2002. In Australia, the joint venture which Audi established in 2001 with Audi Australia Pty. Ltd., which acts as general importer there, has proven highly successful. With an 19 percent increase in sales volume to 4,158 units in 2002, the joint venture achieved double-digit growth rates in only its second year. The growth rate over the past two years is an impressive 36 percent. Over that period, Audi has been able to expand its market share in the luxury segment to 7.6 percent.

China In China Audi set a new record of more than 37,000 vehicle sales in 2002, making it the clear market leader in the premium segment. The 26 percent rise in vehicle sales is principally the result of long-standing cooperation with the joint venture FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Company Ltd., the methodical expansion of the exclusive dealer network and successful brand management. Audi is now the best-known car brand in China and is perceived as an international premium manufacturer. The Audi dealer network, which numbers 54 dealerships, continues to be regarded as the benchmark in the car sales trade in China. The 50,000th locally-built Audi A6 was handed over to its proud new owner in June. The Audi A6 is considered the most advanced car ever to have been built in China. Our outstanding position in the premium segment was strengthened mid-way through the year by the launch of the Audi A6 2.8 with multitronic and by the general product update in November.

The Audi exhibition area was voted the best stand at the International Motor Show in Beijing. We unveiled the Audi A4 Cabriolet and the Audi A4 Avant to the Chinese public at this motor show. In order to exploit the potential of the Chinese market and to secure continued growth, a second product range – the Audi A4 saloon – is to be built locally at FAW-Volkswagen. The market launch of the Audi allroad quattro and the long-wheelbase version of the Audi A8 2.8 developed specially for China have further extended the range of products available in China. The top-of-therange Audi A8 has proven especially popular. China is now one of the most important A8 sales markets for Audi worldwide, with sales of this model reaching around 650 last year.

Sports and Cultural Sponsorship

Spor tiness – a winning formula

Bayern Munich, powered by Audi Football – no other sport in the world enjoys such mass appeal, as was impressively underlined by the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea. AUDI AG became the new automotive partner of Bayern Munich, Germany’s most successful football club, at the start of the 2002/2003 season, marking its first involvement ever in this sport. The Board and players of Germany’s record-breaking league champions and World Club Champions have eagerly adopted the Audi brand. In symbolic terms, at least, one thing is for sure: Bayern Munich will now be able to run “rings” around their opponents.

Audi raring to go, worldwide Audi and winter sport – a successful partnership with a long tradition: AUDI AG has been partnering the German Ski Federation (DSV) for the past 18 years. This lengthy association, almost unique in the world of sport, was extended for a further three years in 2002. The Audi vehicles with quattro technology that are placed at the disposal of the athletes and support crews make sure their occupants always get reliably to their destination – often in difficult road conditions. Germany’s international skiers are not the only ones to appreciate the benefits of the four-ring brand: the Swedish, Finnish and Swiss Alpine ski teams likewise make the most of this technical superiority. AUDI AG is setting further landmarks in the 2002/ 2003 winter sports season in the sphere of winter sports sponsorship: Audi is the title sponsor of the Alpine Ski World Cup for the first time. The “Audi FIS Ski World Cup” consists of 35 events worldwide, in Europe, North America and Asia. Audi was also presenting sponsor of the Alpine World Ski Championships from February 1 to 16, 2003 in St. Moritz, thus further enhancing its worldwide reputation as a sports-oriented brand.

Cultural sponsorship of the highest calibre

way of thanking its long-standing partner AUDI AG, who has been principal sponsor of the world’s most renowned festival of music and theatre since 1995. “Der Ring des Nibelungen” A new highlight in Audi’s portfolio of cultural sponsorship activities is our involvement as the new principal sponsor of the Bavarian State Opera. Up until 2006, Audi will be providing backing for the new production of Richard Wagner’s tetralogy “Der Ring des Nibelungen”. Following on from the premières of the individual operas in 2002, the Bavarian State Opera will perform the entire “Ring” twice a season, starting in 2003. A concerto performance of the first act of “Walküre” was held in Ingolstadt at the 2002 Summer Concerts. The Summer Concerts – a festival of highlights Since their inception in 1990 the Summer Concerts between Danube and Altmühl, which are staged jointly by AUDI AG and the Bavarian broadcasting corporation Bayerischer Rundfunk, have evolved into one of the most successful festivals in Germany. Leading conductors such as Zubin Mehta and James Levine, renowned soloists such as Giora Feidman, Waltraud Meier and Daniel Barenboim and top ensembles from all over the world once again captivated audiences in 2002. Guest appearance by the Salzburg Festival “Everyman” represented the climax and awe-inspiring finale of last year’s Summer Concerts. As a gesture towards the sponsor, “Everyman” was also brought to the Audi Forum Ingolstadt – only the second time it has been staged away from the Salzburg Festival.

Uncompromisingly spor ty – the Audi RS 6 The Audi RS 6 is the real show-stopper among Audi’s sporty models. It is inspired by the R8, the car that won Le Mans three times and in so doing became a legend in its own time. This car has demonstrated that supreme performance under permanently high loads is genuinely possible. Equipped with this determination

and an unbridled forward urge from its 331 kW engine, every trip in the RS 6 echoes the call of the racetrack. Yet the RS 6 is just as comfortable, elegant and safe as every other Audi. When it comes to dynamism and power, however, it is in a league of its own.

Audi Hungaria continues to grow The 2002 financial year at AUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft. was once again characterised by capital investments and growth. The company with Hungary’s largest export volume continued to consolidate its position throughout the past financial year, strengthening its position both within the Audi and Volkswagen Groups and in Hungarian industry. Engine production rose to 1,280,067 (1,220,217) units in 2002. This represents an increase of 4.9 percent on the previous year. The production total was made up of 986,423 (931,230) four-cylinder engines, 279,555 (273,309) six-cylinder engines and 14,089 (15,678) eight-cylinder engines. The power units built at Györ were shipped to the Volkswagen Group’s production plants worldwide and fitted in various models of the Audi, Volkswagen, SEAT and Škoda brands. On the vehicle production side, AUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft. built 21,488 (22,078) of the Audi TT Coupé and 13,223 (17,271) of the TT Roadster. 18,895 (15,947) of the Audi A3 and S3 models were assembled on behalf of AUDI AG. The official opening of the new eight-cylinder engine production line was attended by the Hungarian Prime Minister, Dr. Peter Medgyessy. Capacity for the production of eight-cylinder engines was boosted from a previous 100 engines a day to 250 engines a day at a cost

of EUR 135 million. A production hall covering 21,600 square metres was erected for this purpose. Volume production of the new ultra-high-performance 4.2-litre eight-cylinder engines started in the first half of 2002. Highly flexible processing plant, interlinked assembly lines, futuristic production processes and highly qualified employees constitute the basis of Audi Hungaria’s outstanding manufactured quality. The four-cylinder product range was widened by the addition of a new engine generation with petrol direct injection (FSI). Volume production of this new 2.0-litre, four-cylinder FSI engine started in mid-2002 and was integrated into the existing four-cylinder engine production operations. The flexible production facilities for machining the cylinder head, the core component of the FSI engine generation, were adapted to the new technology. In order to respond more effectively to market demand, daily capacity for four-cylinder diesel engines with pump-injector fuel injection technology was stepped up from a previous 1,230 to 2,230 units. Audi Hungaria has set itself the goal of increasing the locally sourced content by securing new, competitive Hungarian production suppliers who are in a position to supply their products not simply to Audi Hungaria, but to the entire Volkswagen Group. The intended process of integrating these Hungarian suppliers into the car industry will be implemented in several stages.

Improved result at Cosworth Technology The British engine manufacturer based in Northampton, with two further locations in England and one in the USA, offers its customers all-in and partial solutions for the development, casting and production of small-series and special engines, whether for the automotive industry or for use in other sectors. Cosworth Technology’s range of services is rounded off by electronic developments focusing on vehicle information and diagnostic systems. COSWORTH TECHNOLOGY LIMITED recorded revenue of EUR 130 (123) million in 2002. Profit before tax reached EUR –1 (–13) million. The improved figure is attributable to the cost-cutting and restructuring measures that have been implemented, as well as reflecting the initial benefits of the new business strategy. At Northampton, where development activities are based, greater emphasis is being placed on production development projects. During the past financial year, entire engine projects were developed and supervised right up to the start of volume production at external customers. Various concept engines were in addition developed on behalf of the customer. The foundry at Worcester manufactures cylinder heads and blocks both for the Audi Group and for external clients within the car industry.

products in May 2002. The foundry also helped to improve profitability above all through higher production figures . Production of assembled engines at Wellingborough in the year under review was down on the previous year, at 3,979 (4,951) engines. This was attributable to the withdrawal of the RS 4 engine in 2001 and the production start of the RS 6 engine in mid-2002. In addition to manufacturing these RS engines, this plant also machines large numbers of engine components such as cylinder heads and engine blocks. Electronic and engine developments in the USA had a positive impact on the business figures for the past financial year thanks to new projects and the placing of new products on the market. With the successful auditing of the Wellingborough plant in 2002, COSWORTH TECHNOLOGY LIMITED has become the first company in Great Britain to satisfy the stringent requirements of the new Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS 2001). The Cosworth Technology workforce averaged 786 (748) employees throughout the year.

Lamborghini reports sharp growth The 2002 financial year at Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. was dominated by the Lamborghini Murciélago, which successfully completed its first full year in production. This ultimate sports car from Sant’Agata Bolognese captivated the public and the automotive world alike with its uncompromising dynamism and unique design. In developing the Murciélago, Lamborghini has established the basis for broadening its product range with the new Lamborghini Gallardo. This second product line, which has been developed in conjunction with Audi, will have an aluminium body and the typical performance and design of a Lamborghini. The car, which will be unveiled to the public in 2003, is intended to convey the fascination of the Lamborghini brand to a broader range of customers. Lamborghini invested a total of EUR 88 million in the period under review, with product development activities for the new model accounting for a large portion of this sum. Another investment measure involved Lamborghini Group Revenue Profit before tax Investments in property, plant and equipment 1 Employees Production 1

the start of work on the “Centro Stile Lamborghini”. Lamborghini’s future design centre will thus build on the lengthy tradition of Italian automotive design. The building will in addition house Customer Service and a restoration shop for historic vehicles. In the 2002 financial year, Lamborghini increased its vehicle sales by a significant 42.8 percent to 424 (297) sports cars. As in the previous year, the principal markets were the USA with 35 percent, followed by Germany with 20 percent, Switzerland and Great Britain with ten percent each, and Japan and Italy with five percent each. The companies that comprise the Lamborghini Group recorded revenue of EUR 93 (65) million, representing an increase of 43 percent. Profit before tax improved to EUR 157 (54) million. The income from investments included in this figure totalled EUR 156 (81) million. Along with higher production output, the number of employees rose by 17.6 percent to 567 (482) as an average for the year.

AUTOGERMA S.p.A. boosts revenue AUTOGERMA S.p.A., the Italian general importer for the brands of the Volkswagen Group which has been a subsidiary of Lamborghini Holding S.p.A. since 2000, was confronted with a difficult market context in the year under review. Following a record-breaking year in 2001, the overall car market in Italy slumped by around six percent to just under 2.3 million units. Autogerma nevertheless recorded sales of 303,086 (312,019) vehicles last year. The company’s revenue showed an increase on the previous year, to EUR 4,807 (4,791) million. Profit before tax improved to EUR 110 (88) million. In 2002, Audi was able to continue the positive trend of recent years, selling 50,107 (47,006) vehicles of the Volkswagen Group brands. 40,201 (40,019) SEAT models were delivered to their new owners. Sales of Volkswagen cars fell to 183,626 (190,451) units as a result of the

advanced life-cycle of the current Golf and Passat models, whereas 23,051 (28,643) Škoda vehicles were delivered following the record unit sales of the previous year. Demand for models from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles increased to 6,101 (5,900) units. Autogerma invested capital in its ultramodern central parts store in 2002. The objective of this investment was to further improve the standard of service in supplying genuine Volkswagen Group parts to Italian customers and other general importers in 15 markets in Eastern Europe, the Near East and North Africa. To safeguard its gradual expansion, Autogerma increased the area of its site in Verona by 30,000 square metres during the period under review; the additional capacity is used predominantly as an external warehouse. In addition the Autogerma Forum, a new training and conference centre, was erected on

Distinctive, exclusive and sporty – quattro GmbH The objective of quattro GmbH is to inject even greater passion and distinctive appeal into the individuality, exclusivity and sportiness of the Audi brand. With the RS, S line, Audi exclusive and Audi collection business areas, the Neckarsulm-based company quattro GmbH, which was founded in 1983, complements the product range of AUDI AG. The principal markets of quattro GmbH are Germany, Western Europe and North America. The Audi RS 6, which was successfully launched in July 2002, follows on from the Audi RS 4 as the second independent vehicle to have been created by the company, and developed and built in conjunction with AUDI AG. Around 2,000 of the Audi RS 6 had already been sold by the end of 2002. quattro GmbH is modifying and expanding its customisation range, Audi exclusive, in order to open up new areas of business and access new customers for the Audi brand. In response to increased demand for greater sportiness, quattro GmbH is extending its S line to cover all model series, and is thus underpinning the sportsoriented, dynamic positioning of AUDI AG. Significant year-on-year growth has been achieved in this business area in particular. A prime example of the technological expertise of quattro GmbH during the 2002 financial year was the market launch of the Audi A4 1.8 T, with an output tuned up to 140 kW (190 bhp). Despite the lower number of RS cars built than in 2001 due to the production start of the new model, quattro GmbH was once again able to increase its business volume in 2002. Revenue rose to around EUR 110 million and profit before tax totalled approximately EUR 36 million. The profit was passed on to AUDI AG on the basis of the existing profit transfer agreement.

New addition to the group: AUDI SENNA Ltda. AUDI SENNA Ltda. was fully consolidated into the Audi Group for the first time in the 2002 financial year. AUDI AG owns a 51 percent stake in the joint venture, which was established in 2000; the remaining 49 percent are held by Senna Import Comercial Ltda., a company founded by the three-times Formula 1 World Champion Ayrton Senna. Audi Senna, with its headquarters in São Paulo, is responsible for sales of Audi vehicles in Brazil and for controlling the dealer network, via which exclusively Audi cars are sold. A further major task is to stage marketing and advertising activities on behalf of the Audi brand in Brazil. The country experienced economic difficulties throughout the year under review, reflected by the sharp decline in the regional car market and the extreme devaluation of the Real; with the locally-built Audi A3, AUDI SENNA Ltda. was nevertheless able to hold onto its market lead in this segment. The Audi A4 and Audi A6 were also highly successful in their respective vehicle segments. With these two models, AUDI SENNA Ltda. ranked among the top premium suppliers in Brazil. 10,674 vehicles were sold via AUDI SENNA Ltda. during the period in question. AUDI SENNA Ltda. posted revenue of EUR 34 million. Profit before tax in 2002 reached EUR 13 million. The company employed an average of 105 employees throughout the year.

Management Report of the Audi Group and AUDI AG

General economy and the sector

Global economic situation Growth in the global economy was very hesitant in 2002. The protracted weakness of the stock markets, the tight labour market in many countries and the uncertain political situation in the Middle East, coupled with a rise in oil prices, unsettled companies and private households around the globe. Initial signs of a recovery in the US economy were not translated into a lasting improvement in spite of an expansive monetary and fiscal policy. The misrepresentation of finances in the accounts of major companies compounded this loss of confidence. Although there has been a slight economic recovery in Western Europe, there is as yet a lack of sustained momentum. This is particularly the case in Germany: in view of the uncertain employment situation and the forthcoming higher tax burden, consumer behaviour is expected to remain reticent. Export sales were the sole cause for satisfaction. In contrast to the sluggish performance of the Western European economy, there is marked buoyancy in overall economic activity in Central and Eastern Europe. Latin America remains in recession, accompanied by further currency devaluations, rising prices and growing political uncertainty. The threshold countries of South-East Asia are currently the most dynamic region in the global economy. Above all China became an even more attractive target for foreign direct investment, having joined the World Trade Organisation at the start of the year. International car market The slackness of the economy worldwide is reflected by the state of international car markets. In Western Europe, around 14.4 million vehicles were registered for the first time, down three percent on the previous year’s figure. Italy and Spain experienced the sharpest downturns in the market by anything up to seven percent. The car markets in France and Germany likewise contracted, albeit by a lesser degree. Amid the negative overall trend, a growth rate of over four percent in Great Britain provided a glimmer of hope. In the USA, first-time registrations of cars slipped particularly in the final quarter, in spite of numerous measures to bolster sales. The total for the year was down around four percent on the prior-year figure, to 8.1 million units.

The South American market once again suffered a severe setback in 2002. New registrations in Argentina were slashed by half for the second year in succession. Brazil too, the most important car market in this region, witnessed a fall in registrations of five percent. Individual Asian markets such as China, which achieved impressive growth of some 56 percent, exhibited rare potential for growth. Japan likewise made good progress, with a slight increase in new-vehicle registrations. German car market The German car market, too, was unable to buck the generally negative market trend. Registrations of new vehicles fell by just under three percent compared with the previous year, to 3.3 million cars. Whereas the domestic market was characterised by consumer reticence, demand from abroad for German cars rose. With vehicle sales totalling 3.6 million, exports by German car manufacturers were approximately on a par with the previous year’s record figure. Just under 71 percent of vehicle production was exported. Above all in the USA, the world’s largest market, German manufacturers were able to increase their market share to about ten percent. The proportion of foreign-brand cars imported into Germany was slightly up on the previous year, at 29 percent (28 percent). Diesel-engined vehicles were once again in particular demand in 2002. A total of 38 percent of vehicles registered for the first time were fitted with a diesel engine, equivalent to an increase of seven percent compared with the previous year. This trend is doubtless attributable to the progress achieved in the development of economical diesel engines and to rising petrol prices. Domestic car production totalled 5.1 million units, falling short of the previous year’s figure by over three percent. Domestic production was underpinned by the stable level of exports.

Situation of the company

Accounting principles In the 2002 financial year, the consolidated financial statements of AUDI AG were prepared on the basis of the International Accounting Standards (IAS) and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). Pursuant to Section 292 a of German Commercial Code, AUDI AG is therefore exempted from its duty to prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with German accounting standards. As in previous years, the separate financial statements of AUDI AG have been prepared in accordance with the German Commercial Code. Revenue, result and equity Revenue rose by 2.6 percent compared with the previous year, to EUR 22,603 (22,032) million. 69.1 (68.0) percent of total revenue was generated abroad. Gross operating profit, in other words revenue less cost of sales, was EUR 2,728 (2,670) million. The profit before tax for the Audi Group fell slightly to EUR 1,254 (1,322) million. The pre-tax rate of return accordingly reached 5.6 (6.0) percent. An amount of EUR 587 million from the consolidated net profit of EUR 774 (769) was allocated to other revenue reserves. The shareholders’ equity of the Audi Group consequently amounted to EUR 4,940 (4,342) million. The equity ratio remained at the previous year’s level, at 38.6 percent. AUDI AG posted revenue of EUR 18,392 (17,724) million. According to the German Commercial Code, its net profit was EUR 210 (418) million. The shareholders’ equity of AUDI AG according to German Commercial Code amounted to EUR 1,513 (1,488) million. This yielded an equity ratio of 18.7 (20.7) percent. On the basis of the profit transfer agreement with the parent company, AUDI AG transferred EUR 185 (209) million to VOLKSWAGEN AG. Outside shareholders in AUDI AG receive a compensatory payment for each individual share certificate. The level of this payment for the 2002 financial year is equivalent to the dividend that is paid on one VOLKSWAGEN AG ordinary share. This dividend payment will be determined by the Annual General Meeting of VOLKSWAGEN AG on April 24, 2003 and subsequently published in the Federal Official Gazette.

Production slightly up Total car production output by the Audi Group in the past financial year showed a slight increase on the previous year, at 735,913 (727,033) vehicles. Of this total, 31,440 (34,990) Audi vehicles were supplied to Audi partners abroad in the form of completely knocked down (CKD) parts sets.

Production of cars at the Ingolstadt plant rose to 435,718 (420,216). The Neckarsulm plant built 223,390 (247,544) of the Audi A2, Audi A6, Audi allroad quattro and Audi A8. quattro GmbH, Neckarsulm, produced an impressive 2,052 of the Audi RS 6 in the year of its market launch. At the Hungarian plant in Györ, AUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft. built the Audi TT Coupé and Audi TT Roadster sports cars and assembled some Audi A3 and, in 2002, all Audi S3 models on behalf of AUDI AG. A total of 53,606 (55,296) Audi vehicles left the production lines there. The new Audi A4 Cabriolet, like its predecessor, is built by Wilhelm Karmann GmbH in Rheine. Thanks to the high level of demand, 20,705 of this model were built there during the year under review. The sports car specialists at Sant’Agata Bolognese produced 442 of the Lamborghini Murciélago, the followup model to the legendary Lamborghini Diablo.

Management Report of the Audi Group and AUDI AG

Engine production by the Audi Group rose by 4.8 percent, to 1,284,488 (1,225,448) units, in the past financial year. As in previous years, demand for diesel-engined vehicles rose in 2002, boosting the proportion of TDI engines of the overall volume to 46.3 (44.2) percent. This demonstrates the high level of acceptance of Audi direct-injection diesel engines among its customers. First unveiled 13 years ago as a ground-breaking technology, this has meanwhile become one of AUDI AG’s core skills. The largest engine manufacturer within the Audi Group, AUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft., built 1,280,067 (1,220,217) four, six and eight-cylinder engines. COSWORTH TECHNOLOGY LIMITED manufactured 3,979 (4,951) complete engines. 43.8 (45.3) percent of all engines produced by the Audi Group were supplied to other Volkswagen Group companies.

The Lamborghini Murciélago proved a resounding success with customers, with 424 (297) of this sports car sold – an increase of 42.8 percent. The Italian subsidiary AUTOGERMA S.p.A in addition supplied 252,979 (265,013) vehicles of the SEAT, Škoda, Volkswagen Passenger Car and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle brands to customers. New models in 2002 Attractive new models were brought onto the market in 2002. The first to make its début, well timed to coincide with the start of the open-air season, was the Audi A4 Cabriolet. Sports performance on minimal fuel is achieved with the innovative FSI direct injection engines, which were introduced first on the Audi A2 1.6 FSI and shortly afterwards on the Audi A4 2.0 FSI. The Audi RS 6, a high-performance sports car that is nevertheless suitable for everyday driving, has been available for order since May 2002. The new-generation Audi A8 has established new standards in the luxury class since its market launch in November 2002. Various sports models were in addition put on display to the public at various motor shows. AUDI AG exhibited the Audi allroad quattro 4.2 with V8 engine and an output of 220 kW (300 bhp) at the Geneva Motor Show. Both saloon and Avant versions of the new Audi S4 were unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in September.

This amount included EUR 1,516 million for property, plant and equipment, and capitalised development costs totalling EUR 834 million. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 2,545 million and was therefore easily in excess of total capital investments. Investment at AUDI AG, which is reported on the basis of the German Commercial Code, totalled EUR 1,306 (1,296) million. Property, plant and equipment accounted for EUR 1,182 (1,155) of this total.

Individual pension plans Since 2002, all Audi employees have been able to incorporate a further component into their arrangements to provide for old age. Alongside employer-financed retirement benefits, direct insurance and time bonds, AUDI AG is now offering a new, attractive concept for individual pension plans which involves converting gross or net pay into pension contributions. Whereas the version involving gross payments is managed by Audi itself along the lines of the modular employer-financed pension plans, the net payments version is run by the MetallRente company pension scheme. From now on, employees will have the opportunity to build up personal pension funds either from their regular monthly pay or by earmarking collectively negotiated lump-sum payments for this purpose. Purchasing volume The total purchasing volume of the Audi Group in 2002 was EUR 11.9 (12.4) billion. EUR 9.8 (9.6) billion of this total was spent on direct materials. Investment goods, services and operating materials accounted for EUR 2.1 (2.8) billion of this amount.

Management Report of the Audi Group and AUDI AG

Risk repor t

Risk management within the Audi Group AUDI AG is a group operating internationally and is therefore exposed to a variety of risks in the course of its entrepreneurial activities. To ensure that significant risks which could pose a threat to the company’s survival are identified at an early stage, companies have been obliged by German corporate governance legislation (KonTraG) to implement a risk management system. The Audi Group uses a risk early warning system to identify potential risks to its financial position, financial performance and cash flows. Our risk management system moreover includes all significant subsidiaries. The areas of responsibility and the reporting and documentation duties of the individual corporate divisions and subsidiaries are clearly laid down. First, the potential impact of a loss and the probability of a risk materialising are assessed. The extent of impending losses for selected serious risks is then quantified. By gradually refining our risk management system, we ensure that it will continue to function in the future. New Block Exemption Regulations for motor vehicles The new Block Exemption Regulation for the motor vehicle trade took effect on October 1, 2002. The new regulation is valid until May 31, 2010 and has the objective of creating a uniform European single market for cars, as well as promoting competition. Under the new Block Exemption Regulation, dealers are fundamentally free to sell vehicles of other makes. In future, a qualitatively and quantitatively selective sales approach will only be possible for new cars. All workshops which satisfy the required standards of quality may moreover demand authorisation from a manufacturer. AUDI AG has taken the redrafting of the legal basis as an opportunity to revise the contracts with its dealer partners. AUDI AG believes that the sales and service network it has established on the basis of new arrangements continues to benefit the customer.

German government considering increased lump-sum charge for the use of company cars The German government is considering increasing the lump-sum rate at which the private use of a company car is taxed in 2003. If this tax change becomes law, the German car trade is expected to witness a downturn in demand. Since the legislative procedure has not yet been completed at the time of going to press, the precise impact on AUDI AG cannot as yet be anticipated. EU Directive on end-of-life vehicles The EU Directive on end-of-life vehicles became national law in Germany on July 1, 2002. It has yet to do so in certain EU member states. This directive obliges car manufacturers and importers to accept back, at their own expense, any vehicles manufactured by them and registered after July 1, 2002, or merchandise, and to ensure that they are disposed of in an environmentally acceptable manner. From 2007, this regulation will apply to all end-of-life vehicles. From then on, it will moreover be prohibited to use certain materials for the production of cars. Provisions have been created to cover the costs which the Audi Group would incur as a result of its obligation to accept back, reprocess and recycle vehicles. Price, foreign currency and liquidity risks As a result of increased global business activities, the Audi Group is exposed to risks from developments on international foreign exchange markets. These risks are excluded or minimised by means of intensive observation of the markets and the resulting hedging strategies. Payments in foreign currency from operations, predominantly for goods and services, are hedged. Derivative financial instruments concluded via VOLKSWAGEN AG with national and international banks of top-grade creditworthiness are employed. Potential liquidity risks are countered by means of a regularly updated liquidity forecast.

Overall situation of the company On the basis of all particulars and circumstances known to us, there are currently no risks to the Audi Group which would have such a significant effect on its financial performance and financial position that they could endanger the company’s survival for the foreseeable future.

Management Report of the Audi Group and AUDI AG

Outlook

Underlying economic situation The global economy will continue to make only faltering progress over the coming months. The economic and market indicators do not point to any rapid recovery in the global economy. Although a degree of stabilisation appears to be on the cards, there is currently still a preponderance of negative factors such as the persisting bear stock markets, high unemployment and the uncertain situation in the Gulf region. It is possible that the USA could prompt a recovery in the global economy. Neither Japan nor Western Europe are expected to stimulate growth through their intrinsic economic development. The momentum created by lower taxes and interest rates in the USA may have a positive impact on economic growth. However, it remains to be seen whether they will trigger off any sustained dynamic development. In Germany, an economic recovery will only have any substance if export markets experience dynamic growth. In the short term, consumer behaviour in Germany is expected to remain reticent in view of the uncertain employment and economic prospects. A number of South-East Asian markets provide a ray of hope in what is otherwise a somewhat overcast economic outlook. The upswing should gain momentum in 2003 along with rising exports, though the pace of progress will vary from country to country. Whereas the South Korean economy is booming, Hong Kong and Taiwan are suffering from the loss of substantial industrial capacity to China. Outlook for the car industry A slight increase in worldwide car sales is expected for 2003. Progress in the principal car markets – the USA, Western Europe and Japan – is likely to be roughly on a par with the period under review. The main growth markets are in Eastern Europe and Asia, particularly China. Japan is the notable exception in the latter region, as it continues to struggle with a difficult economic situation. Expectations for 2003 on the German car market range from a largely unchanged situation to a slight improvement in registration figures. However, they are not likely to show a pronounced rise until 2004. Such a development could be promoted on the one hand by a backlog of demand for new cars – the average age of the vehicles on Germany’s roads has risen markedly – and on the other hand by the large number of new

models being launched by various manufacturers, providing greater incentive for vehicle purchases. The Audi Group once again set a new record for vehicle sales in the year under review, and in so doing strengthened its market position. In view of the uncertain economic situation, it is difficult to make any firm predictions for 2003 at present. Over the next few years the Audi Group will nevertheless have a healthy basis on which to build further success, in the form of a steadily evolving, attractive model range, increased emphasis on sports appeal and a sound financial position. The Audi brand group AUDI AG has been responsible for the management of the “Audi brand group”, comprising the Lamborghini, SEAT and Audi brands, since January 1, 2002. Synergy benefits already materialised in the course of the past year in the car-design domain and in the use of aluminium in body manufacturing. Particular emphasis is placed on formal idiom in the development of the brand group. AUDI AG will in future differentiate the individual brands to a greater extent in the way they are positioned on the market, while promoting inter-brand ties in order to exploit common resources. Changes in company management With effect from March 1, 2002 the Supervisory Board appointed Dr. Martin Winterkorn, Member of the Board of Management of VOLKSWAGEN AG, as the Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG. He succeeded Dr. Franz-Josef Paefgen, Chairman and Chief Executive of Bentley Motors Ltd., who surrendered office by agreement with the Supervisory Board with effect from February 28, 2002 and has also been in charge of group research and the motor sport activities of all Volkswagen Group brands since March 1, 2002. Dr. h. c. Andreas Schleef – Chairman of the Board of Management of SEAT S.A. – took on the area of responsibility of “Chairman of the Board of SEAT S.A.” on the AUDI AG Board with effect from March 7, 2002. Dr. Horst Neumann took over from Dr. h.c. Andreas Schleef as Head of the Human Resources Division with effect from July 1, 2002. Dr. Werner Mischke was appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. with effect from January 1, 2003. He has in addition taken on the post of Chairman of the Advisory Board of quattro GmbH and responsibility for the motor sport activities of Audi and Lamborghini. Likewise with effect

from January 1, 2003 Dr. Werner Mischke surrendered his responsibility for the Technical Development Division, by agreement with the Supervisory Board. Since that date, Dr. Martin Winterkorn has been in charge of this division in addition to his duties as Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG. Rupert Stadler was appointed to the Board of AUDI AG – initially without portfolio – with effect from January 1, 2003. He will become Head of the Finance and Organisation Division with effect from April 1, 2003, taking over from Peter Abele, who is retiring on March 31, 2003. New models in 2003 A long-wheelbase version of the Audi A8 4.2 quattro was exhibited at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2003. Additions to the range of engines for the Audi A8 will include a V8 unit with diesel direct injection and a 6.0litre, twelve-cylinder engine, the highest-displacement power unit within the Audi Group. The Geneva Motor Show in March 2003 will witness the unveiling of the new Audi A3 and the Audi A4 Cabriolet quattro. The market launch of the Audi TT 3.2 quattro, which has the radically new transmission technology of the Direct Shift Gearbox DSG with double clutch, is scheduled for mid-2003. The Direct Shift Gearbox combines the advantages of a conventional sixspeed manual gearbox with the qualities of a modern automatic. The Lamborghini Gallardo will also make its first public appearance at Geneva. Positioned below the Murciélago, it will be accessible to a wider group of customers. Audi will provide a foretaste of future automotive developments at motor shows throughout 2003. For instance, the “Audi Pikes Peak quattro” concept study was presented at Detroit. This crossover model combines the properties of different types of vehicle, such as offroad capability, variability, dynamic performance and elegance. Capital expenditure to remain high The scheduled investment volume for property, plant and equipment and for financial assets for the period from 2002 to 2007 amounts to some EUR 11.4 billion, which represents around seven percent of total revenue for that planning period. Around 70 percent of investment spending is earmarked for new products, with the German locations Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm to be the recipients of over 80 percent of the total budget.

The purpose of our investment strategy is to boost the international competitiveness of the Audi Group.

Audi Shares

Audi shares

Audi share price trend Stock markets worldwide exhibited a bear trend in 2002, punctuated by only short-lived periods of respite. A number of factors were behind the falls in all major international indices, in particular the very restrained growth of the global economy and the resulting slump in corporate profits. Various scandals involving the accounts of major companies mid-way through the year and the increasingly tense political situation in the Middle East further unsettled investors. The German Share Index (DAX) proved relatively stable at the start of 2002, reaching its year-high of 5,462.55 points in March. From April, however, the index began to dive sharply, hitting a five-year low of 2,597.88 points in October. The DAX closed the year on 2,892.63 points. The CDAX Automobile – the sector index for German automotive shares – started the year on 377.51 points, rising to 448.52 points by May. The index then fell in line with the general downward trend midway through the year, closing on 262.89 points at the end of December. At the start of the year, the Audi share price rose from EUR 157 to an all-time high of EUR 318. This rise was fuelled by speculation surrounding a cash bid to minority shareholders by the majority shareholder VOLKSWAGEN AG. AUDI AG quashed the rumours of a squeeze-out at its Annual Press Conference at the end of February 2002, causing the share price to ease off gradually in the second quarter of the year. From August until the end of the year, the Audi share price remained virtually stable at just under EUR 200, closing 2002 at EUR 191. Profit transfer and compensatory payment for shareholders VOLKSWAGEN AG controls around 99 percent of the share capital of AUDI AG. The control and profit transfer agreement between AUDI AG and VOLKSWAGEN AG lays down how dividend is to be distributed among the shareholders of AUDI AG. According to this agreement, instead of a dividend payment the shareholders receive a compensatory payment which is equivalent to the dividend paid on one VOLKSWAGEN AG ordinary share for the same financial year. The dividend payable for the 2002 financial year will be determined by the Annual General Meeting of VOLKSWAGEN AG on April 24, 2003.

Corporate Governance

German Corporate Governance Code – AUDI AG complies with the recommendations Transparency and Publicity Act takes effect In September 2001, the “Government Commission on the German Corporate Governance Code” was commissioned with the task of drawing up rules on the internal and external controlling and monitoring of publicly quoted companies. The recommendations of the Government Commission on the German Corporate Governance Code have now been implemented in the form of the Transparency and Publicity Act, which became law on July 26, 2002. Pursuant to Section 161 of German Stock Corporation Law, the Board of Management and Supervisory Board must declare each year to what extent the company complies with or departs from the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code. Implementation of all recommendations agreed In the light of the Declaration of Compliance pursuant to Section 161 of German Stock Corporation Law, the Board of Management and Supervisory Board of AUDI AG considered the recommendations of the Government Commission at length throughout the past financial year. It should be noted that AUDI AG had already largely satisfied the recommendations of the Code in the past. The flow of information between the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board has always been well in excess of the legal minimum, and the Board of Management’s rules of internal procedure already included a detailed list of transactions which may only be conducted with the approval of the Supervisory Board. The purpose of the consultations was to be able to submit an unreserved declaration of compliance based on explicit rules, and thus to comply fully with the recommendations of the government commission. Amendment required to articles of incorporation It has proven necessary to adjust the remuneration of Supervisory Board members to provide for the differentiated, performance-based remuneration of members of the Supervisory Board and committees. An amendment to the articles of incorporation is required to accommodate the rules on remuneration of the Supervisory Board in accordance with Sections 5.4.5 Para. 1 Sentence 3 and 5.4.5 Para. 2 Sentence 1 of the Code. The Supervisory Board has in addition set up an Audit Committee to deal with matters of accounting, risk management and the auditing of the financial state-

ments. Before the Annual General Meeting of AUDI AG, the company will in future provide a proxy for shareholders. Documents being sent to the shareholders in connection with the Annual General Meeting will be published on the Internet together with the Agenda. Internet declaration on the Code The joint declaration of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board of AUDI AG on the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code was placed on the Internet on the Audi homepage on December 19, 2002. The declaration includes the note that the Board of Management and Supervisory Board will wait until the forthcoming Annual General Meeting on May 14, 2003 to propose an amendment of Section 16 of the articles of incorporation of AUDI AG. The English translation of the Declaration of Compliance can be found at www.audi.com.

Financial Performance

Financial performance

Higher revenue than in previous year Despite the difficult overall economic situation, the Audi Group is able to look back on a successful 2002. Business developments were characterised by rising sales figures in virtually all key markets. This trend is reflected by the significantly higher revenue. The record revenue established in the previous year was bettered by 2.6 percent in 2002, the total rising to EUR 22,603 (22,032) million. In the Audi Group’s core area of business – the sale of Audi vehicles – revenue of EUR 16,706 (16,137) million was posted. This represents a year-on-year increase of 3.5 percent. The main pillar of revenue was the Audi A4, bringing in a total of EUR 8,055 (6,708) million, followed by the Audi A6, which generated EUR 4,759 (4,997) million. The Audi A4 Cabriolet, the Audi RS 6 and the new Audi A8 contributed towards the higher business volume for the first time. The cost of sales mirrored the higher revenue, rising by 2.6 percent on the previous year’s figure to EUR 19,875 (19,362) million.

The gross margin was up 2.1 percent to EUR 2,728 (2,670) million. Distribution costs were 11.3 percent higher than in the previous year, at EUR 1,377 (1,237) million. This increase was mainly attributable to the intensification of sales promotion measures. General administrative costs were reduced 4.0 percent to EUR 203 (212) million. The other operating result amounted to EUR 188 (199) million. The operating result fell to EUR 1,336 (1,421) million. The finance result showed a year-on-year improvement of 18.0 percent to EUR –82 (–99) million. The investment result was lower than in the previous year, at EUR 42 (91) million. This is attributable to the full consolidation of quattro GmbH and AUDI SENNA Ltda. for the first time; their contribution towards the result is consequently no longer included in the investment result. The interest result improved to EUR –20 (–62) million. The other financial results likewise showed an improvement in rising to EUR –103 (–128) million, as a result of the reduced expense for the compounding of long-term provisions thanks to lower capital market interest rates.

Consolidated income before tax was slightly down on the previous year, at EUR 1,254 (1,322) million. One of the key factors behind the marginal fall in income was the higher development expenses resulting from intensified product development activities. Exchangerate changes imposed an additional burden on income. Furthermore, the volume of revenue generated in countries outside the eurozone – particularly Great Britain and the USA – was higher in the year under review. The first-time consolidation of our subsidiaries quattro GmbH and AUDI SENNA Ltda. in the reporting period did not result in higher income at group level, as the results for both companies had already been included in consolidated income in previous years. The slightly lower profit before tax, in conjunction with higher revenue, meant that the rate of return fell accordingly from 6.0 to 5.6 percent. On the other hand, net profit rose to EUR 774 (769) million, the highest-ever level in the company’s history.

Balance Sheet Ratios

Balance sheet ratios

Healthy balance sheet structure The balance sheet total for the Audi Group rose by 13.6 percent in 2002, to EUR 12,787 (11,256) million. On the assets side, fixed assets rose to EUR 8,238 (7,624) million as a result of the continuing high level of investing activities. The total investment volume was EUR 2,410 (2,151) million, an increase of 12.0 percent on the previous year. Fixed assets represented 64.4 (67.7) percent of total assets. In the year under review, the Audi Group capitalised development costs totalling EUR 834 million. After deduction of depreciation, there remained a net increase in intangible assets to EUR 2,534 (2,095) million. Property, plant and equipment rose to EUR 5,480 (5,307) million. Investments in property, plant and equipment amounting to EUR 1,516 million were made in all

product ranges, with the new Audi A8 accounting for the largest portion. Current assets including deferred taxes and prepaid expenses were up on the previous year, to EUR 4,548 (3,631) million. Inventories climbed to EUR 1,711 (1,463) million. This change was attributable above all to increased vehicle stocks at our subsidiary AUTOGERMA S.p.A. On the equity and liabilities side, the transfer to the revenue reserves boosted shareholder’s equity to EUR 4,940 (4,342) million. The equity ratio remains unchanged at 38.6 percent. Borrowings showed a year-on-year rise to EUR 7,847 (6,913) million. Transfers to provisions for warranty claims and pensions resulted in an increase in provisions to EUR 3,680 (3,361) million.

amounted to EUR 3,371 (2,823) million, producing a borrowing and equity capital ratio of 61.4 percent at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax liabilities totalled EUR 788 (726) million at the balance sheet date. Stronger financial position Audi was able to boost its financial strength further in the 2002 financial year. Cash flow from operating activities rose by 3.8 percent to EUR 2,545 (2,452) million. It was thus possible to finance the high volume of investment in the year under review entirely from operating activities. After deduction of investing activities totalling EUR 2,373 (2,087) million, there remained a net cash flow of EUR 173 (365) million.

Equity is explained in further detail under items 26, 27 and 28 in the Notes. Cash flow statement of the Audi Group from January 1 to December 31, 2002 The financial resources in the cash flow statement comprise exclusively the cash as reported in the balance sheet. The cash flow statement explains the streams of payments for both the 2002 financial year and the previous year, categorised according to cash inflows and outflows from current business operations, from investing activities and from financing activities. Effects of changes to the group and to foreign exchange rates on payments are shown separately. The change in cash as a result of changes to the group relates to companies that are consolidated for the first time and were carried on the cost basis in previous years. Investing activities include additions to property, plant and equipment and financial assets, and also additions to capitalised development costs. The change in rented lessor’s assets and the change in receivables from financial services are likewise reported here. Financing activities include cash outflows from the transfer of profit and from distributions, as well as changes in other borrowings.

Notes

Notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Audi Group for the 2002 financial year General information AUDI AG has the legal form of a German share-issuing company (Aktiengesellschaft). Its registered office is in Ettinger Strasse, Ingolstadt, and it is entered in Commercial Register HR B 1 in Ingolstadt. Around 99 percent of the share capital of AUDI AG is held by VOLKSWAGEN AG, Wolfsburg, with which a control and profit transfer agreement exists. The consolidated financial statements of AUDI AG are included in the consolidated financial statements of VOLKSWAGEN AG, which are deposited with the Local Court of Wolfsburg. The object of the company is the development, production and sale of motor vehicles, other vehicles and engines of all kinds, together with their accessories, as well as machinery, tools and other technical articles. Primary accounting basis AUDI AG has prepared its consolidated financial statements on the basis of the International Accounting Standards (IAS) and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). The representation of trade receivables and payables, which for the first time also include the accounts outstanding with affiliated and associated companies, has been brought more closely in line with the business operations of the Audi Group. In the interests of greater comparability, the prior-year figures have likewise been adjusted to the new system of itemisation. The income statement has been drawn up according to the internationally practised function of expense method. The consolidated financial statements provide a true and fair view of the financial performance and financial position of the Audi Group. The conditions pursuant to Section 292 a of German Commercial Code for exemption from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with German accounting standards are thus met. The assessment of these conditions is based on German Accounting Standard No. 1 (DRS 1), published by the German Council for Standardisation. To achieve equal value with consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with German law, additional information pursuant to Section 292 a of German Commercial Code is disclosed.

Notes on accounting policies which differ from German law The substantial differences between IAS and accounting policies in accordance with German law relate to the following points: – Goodwill arising from the consolidation of capital is capitalised as an asset according to IAS 22 and depreciated over its useful life. – Development costs are carried as intangible assets in accordance with IAS 38, provided that the production of the developed products is likely to bring economic benefit to the Audi Group. – The straight-line method of depreciation is applied instead of the diminishing balance method; multilevel depreciation is no longer practised. Depreciation is measured on the basis of useful life expectancy. Special depreciation for tax purposes and simplifications are not permitted in the IAS financial statements. – Rented property, plant and equipment are recognised as assets and the resulting liabilities simultaneously recognised as liabilities, provided the economic interest in the property, plant and equipment can be attributed to the companies of the Audi Group pursuant to IAS 17. – Securities are reported at their fair value, even if this is higher than the cost of purchase. – Derivative financial instruments to hedge against foreign exchange exposure are – according to the same principle as the measurement of securities – likewise reported at their fair value in accordance with IAS 39, even if this is higher than the cost of purchase. The opportunities and risks from the measurement of financial instruments used as a hedge for items on the balance sheet (fair value hedges) are recognised immediately. The changes in value of financial instruments which are used for hedging future payments are handled in a differentiated manner. Whereas the fluctuations in the value of currency option transactions immediately have an effect on the net profit or loss for the period, the changes in value of foreign exchange contracts (cash-flow hedges) are initially booked to a special reserve with no effect on income and only have an impact on the income statement when the hedged payment is realised.

– Provisions are only formed where commitments to third parties exist. – Provisions for pensions are determined pursuant to IAS 19 according to the benefit/years of service method, taking into account future pay and pension increases. Actuarial gains and losses are only shown in the balance sheet and booked to income where they exceed ten percent of the higher of retirement benefit obligations or the fair value of the plan assets on the reporting date. – Medium-term and long-term provisions are reported at their present value. – Pursuant to IAS 12, deferred tax is determined according to the balance sheet oriented liability method. This method specifies that tax deferrals are to be created for all temporary differences between the valuations in the tax balance sheet and the consolidated financial statements (temporary concept). Deferred tax from the carryforward of losses is in addition to be recorded. Consolidated companies In addition to AUDI AG, the consolidated financial statements include all key companies where AUDI AG directly or indirectly has scope for determining the financial and business policy in such a way that group companies benefit from the activities of the companies in question (subsidiaries). Consolidation begins at that point in time from which the Audi Group acquires the opportunity for control, and ends when that opportunity ceases to be available. Pursuant to IAS 27, the financial statements of AUDI AG and the consolidated subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements on the basis of financial statements prepared and audited in accordance with the uniform accounting and consolidation principles for the Audi Group. The Audi Group includes AUDI AG and the companies AUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft., COSWORTH TECHNOLOGY LIMITED, four companies of the Lamborghini Group, AUTOGERMA S.p.A. and AUDI DO BRASIL E CIA. The companies quattro GmbH, Neckarsulm, and AUDI SENNA Ltda., São Paulo, Brazil, are fully consolidated for the first time in the 2002 financial year. The inclusion of these companies does not affect the comparability of the consolidated financial statements for 2002 with the previous year’s accounts.

Audi Japan K.K. is included in the financial statements of VOLKSWAGEN AG as the latter company holds a majority of the voting rights on the board of control. Seven foreign and 16 domestic companies are in addition not consolidated. These companies are of only minor importance for the financial performance and financial position of the group. Subsidiaries and investments are always reported at their cost of purchase, as no active market exists for these companies and no fair value can reliably be determined with a justifiable amount of effort. These subsidiaries are substantially dormant companies or companies with only limited business operations. A statement of interests held by the Audi Group is provided in the Annex to the Notes. Consolidation principles Capital consolidation is performed by offsetting the cost of purchase of an investment against the pro rata remeasured equity of the subsidiary. Differences on the liabilities side resulting from the consolidation of capital of companies being consolidated for the first time are offset against the Audi Group’s revenue reserves. An assets-side difference is capitalised as goodwill. Receivables and liabilities between consolidated companies are offset, and expenditure and income eliminated. Intra-group profits have been eliminated from group inventories and fixed assets. Consolidation processes affecting income are subject to deferrals of income taxes, with deferred tax assets and liabilities offset where the term and tax creditor coincide. The same consolidation principles were applied in the financial statements for both 2001 and 2002. Foreign currency translation The currency of the Audi Group is the euro. Foreign currency transactions in the separate financial statements of AUDI AG and the subsidiaries are translated at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Monetary items in foreign currency are reported at the balance sheet date on the basis of the exchange rate on that date. Exchange differences are booked to the current-period result. The foreign companies belonging to the Audi Group are foreign entities which prepare their financial statements in their local currency. AUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft. is the sole exception, as it already prepares its

Notes

annual financial statements in euros. The concept of the “functional currency” is applied when translating financial statements prepared in foreign currency. Assets and liabilities, with the exception of equity, are translated at the closing rate. The effects of foreign currency translation on equity are reported in the reserve for foreign currency translation. The items in the income statement are translated using weighted average monthly rates. Exchange differences resulting from diverging exchange rates used in the balance sheet and the income statement are offset against equity with no effect on income.

EUR 1 = Brazil (BRL) Great Britain (GBP) As all consolidated subsidiaries have their registered offices in countries in which there is currently no hyperinflation, IAS 29 does not apply.

Notes to the consolidated income statement

1 Revenue

3 Distribution costs

Revenue is always recorded at the time of performance of the services or delivery of the goods or products, in other words upon passage of risk. The percentage of completion method is only applied in exceptional cases, as the dates on which a service is commenced and completed regularly fall within the same accounting period.

Distribution costs substantially comprise expenses for marketing and sales promotion, advertising, public relations activities and outward freight, as well as depreciation for the sales sector.

The general administrative costs include labour and materials costs, as well as depreciation for the administrative sector.

Of the current tax expense, an amount of EUR 361 million (EUR 314 million) was passed on to VOLKSWAGEN AG. Other taxes totalling EUR 10 million (EUR 17 million) were allocated according to corporate functions. Pursuant to IAS 12, deferred tax is determined according to the balance sheet liability method. This method specifies that tax deferrals are to be created for all temporary differences between the valuations in the tax balance sheet and the consolidated financial statements (temporary concept). Deferred tax from the carryforward of losses is in addition to be recorded. Deferrals amounting to the anticipated tax burden or tax relief in subsequent financial years are created on the basis of the likely tax rate at the time of realisation.

In accordance with IAS 12, the tax consequences of the distribution of profits are not recognised until the resolution on the appropriation of profits is passed. Deferred tax assets include future tax relief resulting from temporary differences between the carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet and the valuations in the tax balance sheet. Deferred tax assets on tax loss carryforwards that can be realised in the future are also recorded. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are netted, provided there is identity of the tax creditors and maturities. An adjustment of value is performed for deferred tax assets which are unlikely to be realised. Actual and deferred taxes are measured at the tax rate of 38.3 percent (38.3 percent). This represents the sum of the corporate income tax rate of 25 percent, the solidarity surcharge of 5.5 percent and the average trade earnings tax rate for the group. As a result of the new tax reduction and company taxation reform legislation, income from domestic investments and gains on the sale of investments in domestic corporate enterprises has no longer been generally subject to taxation since January 1, 2002. The statutory corporate income tax rate was raised to 26.5 percent (plus the solidarity surcharge of 5.5 percent) as a result of the Flood Relief Act which became law on September 21, 2002 for the 2003 tax assessment period. For domestic group companies, deferred tax being realised in the 2003 financial year is therefore recognised at a tax rate of 39.66 percent (including corporation tax) at 31 December, 2002. This resulted in a deferred tax expense of EUR 2 million in the 2002 financial year. The national income tax rates applicable for foreign companies range from 30 percent to 40 percent. Where the income of subsidiaries is exempt from taxation as a result of special local fiscal arrangements and the tax effects after the ending of temporary tax exemption are not foreseeable, no deferred tax is carried. The realisation of tax losses resulted in a reduction of EUR 1 million (EUR 10 million) in current income tax expense in 2002. There exist outstanding loss carryforwards totalling EUR 11 million (EUR 16 million), which can be used indefinitely. Deferred tax totalling EUR 11 million (EUR 3 million) relates to business transactions (cash-flow hedges) charged directly to equity.

In the case of Audi, the diluted earnings per share are the same as the basic earnings per share, as there were no potential shares in AUDI AG in existence at either December 31, 2001 or December 31, 2002.

Outside shareholders in AUDI AG receive a compensatory payment for each individual share certificate instead of a dividend for the 2002 financial year. The level of this payment corresponds to the dividend that is paid on one VOLKSWAGEN AG ordinary share. The dividend payment will be determined by the Annual General Meeting of VOLKSWAGEN AG on April 24, 2003.

Measurement principles Intangible assets acquired for consideration are reported at cost of purchase, taking account of ancillary costs and cost reductions, and depreciated on a scheduled straight-line basis over their economic life. Concessions, rights and licences relate to purchased computer software and paid subsidies. Goodwill from the consolidation of capital is depreciated on a scheduled straight-line basis over its useful life. Research costs are treated as current expenses in accordance with IAS 38. The development costs of products going into series production are capitalised, provided that the production of these products is likely to bring economic benefit to the Audi Group. If the conditions for capitalisation are not met, the expenses are booked to the current-period result in the year in which they occur. Capitalised development costs comprise all costs directly allocable to the development process, as well as an appropriate portion of the development-related overhead costs. Finance charges are not capitalised. Depreciation is performed on a straight-line basis from the start of production, over the anticipated model life of the developed products.

The depreciation for the year is allocated to the corresponding functional areas; the depreciation on capitalised goodwill is included in other operating expenses. In accordance with IAS 36 non-scheduled depreciation is performed on intangible assets where the recoverable amount from the use of the asset in question has fallen below the carrying value. If the reasons for non-scheduled depreciation in previous years cease to apply, the corresponding amounts are written back. There was no need for either depreciation or write-backs in the period under review.

Measurement principles Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost of purchase or cost of sales, less scheduled straight-line depreciation according to the pro rata temporis method. The cost of purchase includes the purchase price, ancillary costs and cost reductions. In the case of self-constructed fixed assets, the cost of sales includes both the directly allocable cost of materials and cost of labour, and indirect materials and indirect labour, together with pro rata depreciation. Interest on borrowings is not included. The depreciation plan is based principally on the following useful lives:

Buildings Plant fixtures Plant and machinery Tools and equipment, including special tools

Useful life 25–50 years 10–18 years 6–12 years 3–15 years

Minor assets with a cost of purchase of up to 410 euros are fully written off in the year of acquisition. Non-scheduled depreciation of property, plant and equipment pursuant to IAS 36 is performed where the recoverable amount from the use of the asset in question has fallen below the carrying value. Such depreciation in the period under review totalled EUR 97 million. If the reasons for non-scheduled depreciation in previ-

ous years cease to apply, the corresponding amounts are written back. In accordance with IAS 17, property, plant and equipment used on the basis of lease agreements is capitalised if the conditions of a finance lease are met, in other words if the significant risks and opportunities which result from its use have passed to the lessee. Capitalisation is performed at the time of the agreement, at cost of purchase or cost of sales, or at the present value of the minimum lease payments if lower. The straight-line depreciation method is based on economic life, or on the term of the lease contract if shorter. Payment commitments from future lease instalments are recognised as a liability, without future interest costs being taken into account. Payments totalling EUR 51 million (EUR 52 million) for assets rented on the basis of operating lease agreements were recognised as an expense.

16 Investments

EUR ’000 Investments in affiliated companies Investments in associated companies Loans to companies linked through participation Other loans

The change in investments in affiliated companies results largely from the full consolidation of quattro GmbH and AUDI SENNA Ltda. for the first time, as well as from the injection of new capital at Audi Electronics Venture GmbH. Measurement principles Shares in non-consolidated affiliated companies and investments in associated companies are always shown at their respective cost of purchase, as no active market exists for these companies and no fair value can reliably be determined with a justifiable amount of effort. The fair values of medium and long-term loans are determined by discounting at risk-adequate market rates, and deviate from the carrying amounts recognised at amortised cost. In the case of short-term items, the amortised cost corresponds to the fair value. Loans are measured at the amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The fair values to be indicated in addition in the Notes are determined by discounting future streams of payments at the market rate. Non-scheduled depreciation on investments is performed if the market or stock market value has fallen below the carrying value. If the reasons for non-scheduled depreciation in previous years cease to apply, the corresponding amounts are written back. There was no need for depreciation in the period under review.

Of total inventories, EUR 343,264 thousand (EUR 147,345 thousand) are reported at the lower net realisable value. The reduction in value totalled EUR 52,352 thousand (EUR 23,356 thousand). No write-back was performed in the financial year. There are no significant restrictions on ownership or disposal for the reported inventories. Measurement principles Raw materials and consumables used are measured at the updated average cost of purchase or at the lower replacement value. Incidental costs of purchase and purchase cost reductions are taken into account as appropriate. Work in progress and finished goods are valued at cost of sales or at the lower replacement value. The cost of sales includes direct materials and direct labour, as well as an appropriate portion of the indirect materials and indirect labour, production-related depreciation and the expenditure allocable to the products from the depreciation of capitalised developments in series production. Distribution costs, general administrative costs and interest on borrowings are not capitalised.

Merchandise is valued at cost of purchase or at the lower replacement value. Provision has been made for all discernible storage and inventory risks by way of appropriate value adjustments. Individual downward valuation adjustments are made on all inventories as soon as the probable proceeds from their sale or use are lower than the carrying values of the inventories. The amount the inventories are expected to raise less the costs incurred up to their sale is taken as the lower replacement value.

The opportunities and risks from foreign exchange contracts serving as hedges for future payments are deferred with no effect on income in the reserve for cash-flow hedges. When the cash-flow hedges fall due, the results from the settlement of the exchange-rate hedging contracts are reported under the other operating result. The consolidated net profit for the year of EUR 586,556 thousand (EUR 560,353 thousand) remaining after the transfer of profit to VOLKSWAGEN AG and after deduction of the profit share of minority shareholders is allocated to the other revenue reserves.

30 Provisions Terms of provisions:

EUR ’000 Provisions for pensions Tax provisions Other provisions Total Provisions for pensions Provisions to cover pension obligations are created on the basis of plans to provide retirement, invalidity and surviving dependents’ benefits. They relate exclusively to benefit commitments for employees of AUDI AG, AUTOGERMA S.p.A and COSWORTH TECHNOLOGY LIMITED. The benefits generally depend on the length of service and remuneration of the employees. Within the Audi Group, a distinction is made between benefit systems based on provisions and those financed externally via pension funds. The internal pension fund model introduced at AUDI AG on January 1, 2001 is based on contributionbased retirement benefit commitments, which are classified as benefit commitments pursuant to IAS 19. The remuneration-based annual cost of commitments is invested in funds on a fiduciary basis by Volkswagen Pension Trust e.V. This model offers AUDI AG employees the opportunity to increase their benefit entitlements, while providing full risk cover. As the units administrated on a fiduciary basis satisfy the requirements of IAS 19 as assets, these funds were offset against the retirement benefit obligations derived from them. Obligations for retirement benefits are measured according to the benefit/years of service method pursuant to IAS 19. Here, the future commitments are measured on the basis of benefit entitlements acquired pro rata at the balance sheet date. For purposes of measurement, trend assumptions are used for the relevant quantities which affect the level of benefit.

Actuarial gains and losses result from changes in the number of people participating in the pension scheme and from a deviation in the actual trends (for example, increases in pay or retirement benefit) from the figures assumed for calculation purposes. Such gains and losses are only booked to income where they exceed ten percent of the higher of retirement benefit obligations or the fair value of the plan assets on the reporting date. In accordance with IAS 19, this residual amount is shown in the balance sheet on the basis of the future average remaining working life of the employees and offset against the result.

The amounts recognised in the income statement are as follows: EUR ’000 Current service cost for services rendered by employees in the financial year Interest cost Expected return on plan assets Net actuarial losses recognised in year Currency differences from foreign schemes Total expense and income recognised in the income statement

Notes

Measurement principles In accordance with IAS 37, provisions are created if an obligation existing towards third parties is likely to lead to future cash outflows and where the amount of the obligation can reliably be estimated. If these criteria are not met, the obligations in question are reported under contingent liabilities. Pursuant to IAS 37, the miscellaneous provisions for all discernible risks and contingent liabilities are reported at their probable cost and not offset against recourse entitlements. Provisions with over one year to maturity are measured at their discounted settlement value at the balance sheet date. Market rates are used as the discount rates. The settlement value also includes the cost increases to be taken into account at the balance sheet date, according to IAS 37. Pursuant to IAS 37, the provision for warranties covers all legal and statutory warranty commitments and goods and services provided to customers on a goodwill basis. The provisions are measured on the basis of anticipated amounts per vehicle, differentiated according to model and country or market area, and calculated using statistical findings. The provisions for distribution costs relate principally to bonus commitments to dealers, as well as cost sharing pledges to importers and dealers for the implementation of investment projects, and for training measures. Commitments to the workforce are substantially in respect of long-service awards, outstanding vacation, accumulated overtime, awards for suggested improvements, ex gratia payments and pre-retirement part-time arrangements. The provision for costs arising from the obligation to dispose of scrap vehicles in accordance with the EU Directive on end-of-life vehicles covers the residual risk within the Audi Group, taking account of national differences in salvaging costs. The miscellaneous provisions relate to a wide range of one-off risks.

31 Liabilities Measurement principles Short-term liabilities are reported at the repayment or settlement value. Medium and long-term liabilities are carried in the balance sheet at amortised cost. The fair values to be indicated in addition are determined by discounting future streams of payments at the market rate. Liabilities from financial lease agreements are carried at the present value of the leasing instalments. 32 Short-term and long-term debt

Notes

Other par ticulars

1 Financial instruments Financial instruments refer to any contract that gives rise to both a financial asset of one enterprise and a financial liability or equity instrument of another enterprise. They include both primary instruments and derivative instruments or obligations. Derivative financial instruments are used as a hedge for items on the balance sheet and for future payments. IAS 39 subdivides financial instruments into four categories: – Financial instruments held for trading – Held-to-maturity investments – Loans and receivables originated by the enterprise – Available-for-sale financial assets The financial instruments used within the Audi Group are generally classified as “available for sale” or “loans and receivables originated by the enterprise”. “Financial instruments held for trading” arise where external hedging transactions are concluded for relationships involving credit between group companies but are eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. No financial instruments in the category of “held-to-maturity investments” are in use. Where financial instruments are purchased or sold in the “customary” manner, they are recognised using settlement date accounting. Financial instruments are reported at amortised cost or at fair value. The amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the financial asset or liability was measured at initial recognition minus principal repayments, any non-scheduled depreciation for impairment or uncollectability, and the premium. The premium is distributed over the term of the financial asset or financial liability by means of the effective interest rate method. In the case of short-term receivables and liabilities, the amortised cost corresponds to the notional or repayment value. The fair value generally corresponds to the market or stock market value. If no active market exists, the fair value is determined by means of investment mathematics methods.

1.1 Primary financial instruments “Loans and receivables originated by the enterprise” and liabilities are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, if they have not arisen in connection with hedging transactions. These include in particular – Financial investments – Trade accounts receivable and payable – Other short-term assets and liabilities. In the case of short-term receivables and liabilities, the amortised cost corresponds to the notional or repayment value. “Available-for-sale financial instruments” are always measured at their fair value. In the case of quoted financial instruments, the fair value corresponds to the market value on the balance sheet date. This category substantially comprises long-term and current investments. Investment holdings in subsidiaries and investments in associated companies are generally shown at their respective cost of purchase, as no active market exists for these companies and no fair value can reliably be determined with a justifiable amount of effort. Changes to the fair value are booked to the current-period result. 1.2 Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are used as a hedge for items on the balance sheet and for future payments. In the case of hedges against the risk of changes in value of balance sheet items (fair-value hedges), both the hedging transaction and the hedged risk portion of the underlying transaction are recognised at fair value. Changes in value are included in the net interest. The carrying value of the hedged underlying transaction is simultaneously adjusted and recognised. As a means of hedging future payments in foreign currency, the Audi Group uses foreign exchange contracts (cash-flow hedges) and currency option transactions. These hedging instruments are likewise recognised at fair value. Whereas the fluctuations in the value of currency option transactions immediately have an effect on the net profit or loss for the period, the changes in value of cash-flow hedges are initially booked to a special reserve with no effect on income and are only recognised as income or expense once the hedged payment is realised.

2 Hedging policy and risk management 2.1 Price and foreign exchange exposure In view of its international business activities, the Audi Group is exposed to price and exchange rate fluctuations. It is the company’s policy to exclude or limit these risks by concluding appropriate hedging transactions. The measures to hedge against foreign exchange exposure are coordinated regularly between AUDI AG and the group treasury of VOLKSWAGEN AG in accordance with the Volkswagen organisational guideline. On the basis of an agency contract, the group treasury of VOLKSWAGEN AG also handles foreign exchange hedging matters for the Audi Group and concludes transactions in the name and for the account of VOLKSWAGEN AG. These transactions relate to the hedging of payments in foreign currency arising from operations (e.g. for goods and services) and to the hedging at matching amounts and maturities of Volkswagen Group financing. Marketable derivative financial instruments (foreign exchange contracts and currency option transactions) are used for this purpose. The hedging transactions performed for Audi by VOLKSWAGEN AG on the basis of the agency agreement are concluded with top-grade national and international banks whose creditworthiness is regularly examined by leading rating agencies. The results from foreign exchange hedging are credited or charged to the Audi Group each month on the basis of the proportion of the Volkswagen Group’s overall hedging volume. In accordance with the Volkswagen organisational guideline, AUDI AG is moreover authorised to conclude hedging transactions of its own to a limited extent, where this helps to simplify current operations. The volumes, currencies and maturities of these transactions are continuously coordinated with VOLKSWAGEN AG. The arrangements for the group-wide foreign exchange hedging policy are based on the “Minimum requirements for the performing of commercial acts by banks” issued by the Federal Supervisory Office for Financial Services. Nominal volume of derivative financial instruments The nominal volumes of the hedging transactions shown represent the total of all buying and selling prices on which the transactions are based.

2.2 Market risk A market risk exists if price changes on financial markets have a negative influence on the value of financial instruments. The market values shown in the table have been calculated on the basis of the market information available at the balance sheet date and represent the redemption (cash-in) values of the derivative financial instruments. The redemption values are calculated on the basis of quoted prices or standardised methods. 2.3 Interest rate risk An interest rate risk, in other words potential fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes to market rates, can occur above all in the case of medium and long-term, fixed-interest receivables and liabilities. Fixed-interest loans totalled EUR 3 million (EUR 3 million) on December 31, 2002 (EUR 3 million). In view of the low volume of these financial instruments, no interestrate hedging contracts were taken out. 2.4 Liquidity risk A liquidity forecast based on a definite planning horizon and credit facilities of VOLKSWAGEN AG assure the adequate liquidity of the Audi Group at all times.

2.5 Credit risk The maximum theoretical credit risk from the primary financial instruments corresponds to the value of all receivables after netting against liabilities due to the same business partner. It is assumed that the actual risk is adequately covered by the estimated uncollectable portion of accounts receivable. The credit risk from derivative financial instruments does not exceed the balance of positive market values in the event of default by a counterparty of VOLKSWAGEN AG or the Audi Group companies. The actual credit risk is slight, as VOLKSWAGEN AG and AUDI AG only conclude contracts with top-class business partners and trading limits are defined for each business partner as a risk management measure. 3 Contingencies Contingencies are unrecognised contingent liabilities, the amount of which corresponds to the maximum possible claim at the balance sheet date. On December 31, 2002 there existed a contingent liability amounting to EUR 3 million (EUR 3 million) from the creation of comprehensive land charges for outside liabilities in connection with a warehouse. 4 Litigation settlements Neither AUDI AG nor any of its group companies are involved in ongoing or prospective legal or arbitration proceedings which could have a significant influence on their economic position or have had such an influence during the past two years. Appropriate provisions have been created within each group company, or adequate insurance benefits are anticipated, for possible financial charges resulting from other legal or arbitrational proceedings.

Segment repor ts

The Audi Group is structured along the lines of the regional locations of its assets, into the following segments: Germany (AUDI AG, quattro GmbH), Hungary (AUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft.), Great Britain (COSWORTH TECHNOLOGY LIMITED), Italy, and Brazil (AUDI DO BRASIL E CIA, AUDI SENNA Ltda.). The assets in Italy are distributed between the Lamborghini Group, with the companies Automobili Lamborghini Holding S.p.A., Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., Motori Marini Lamborghini S.p.A. and Lamborghini ArtiMarca S.p.A., and the general importer AUTOGERMA S.p.A. The subdivision of the group into five segments on the basis of the locations of assets reflects the arrangements for internal group steering and reporting. The principal activities of AUDI AG, quattro GmbH and the Lamborghini Group are the development, pro-

duction, assembly and sale of cars and engines. AUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft. manufactures engines and cars. COSWORTH TECHNOLOGY LIMITED develops, manufactures and assembles engines and vehicle components. AUTOGERMA S.p.A. imports and sells models of the Audi, SEAT, Škoda, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and Volkswagen Passenger Cars brands as well as parts. AUDI DO BRASIL E CIA holds a dormant equity holding in the Curitiba Business Unit. AUDI SENNA Ltda. sells Audi vehicles in Brazil. Transactions between the segments are conducted on generally accepted market terms, in the way that is customary for transactions with outside third parties.

Revenue Germany Europe excluding Germany North America Asia/Oceania Latin America Africa Total Details of the Supervisory Board and Board of Management The remuneration of members of the Board of Management of AUDI AG for the 2002 financial year came to EUR 5,673 thousand (EUR 6,106 thousand). This amount was made up of EUR 2,513 thousand in fixed payments and EUR 3,160 thousand in variable remuneration components. In the context of the fourth tranche of the VOLKSWAGEN AG share options plan, the members of the Audi Board of Management in addition purchased a total of 3,000 convertible bonds at a price of EUR 2.56 each, bearing the right to purchase 30,000 ordinary shares in VOLKSWAGEN AG. No options from the first to third tranches of the share options plan have so far been exercised. At December 31, 2002, the members of the Board of Management consequently held entitlements to purchase 210,000 ordinary shares in VOLKSWAGEN AG.

Independent Auditor’s Report

Independent Auditor’s Repor t

Provided that the Annual General Meeting will approve and the German commercial register will enter the signed profit and loss absorption agreement with the subsidiaries Audi Electronics Venture GmbH, Ingolstadt, NSU GmbH, Neckarsulm, Audi Synko GmbH, Ingolstadt, Auto Union GmbH, Ingolstadt, and Audi Vertriebsbetreuungsgesellschaft mbH, Ingolstadt, already recognised in the group financial statement, we issue the following auditor’s report: Independent auditor’s report We have audited the consolidated financial statements of AUDI AG, Ingolstadt, consisting of the balance sheet, the income statement and the statement of changes in equity and cash flows as well as the notes to the business year from January 1 to December 31, 2002. The preparation and the content of the consolidated financial statements according to the International Accounting Standards of the IASB (IAS) are the responsibility of the Company’s Board of Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion, based on our audit, whether the consolidated financial statements are in accordance with IAS. We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with German auditing regulations and generally accepted standards for the audit of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer in Deutschland e.V. (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatements. The evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements are examined on a test basis within the framework of the audit. The audit includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Board of Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, based on our audit, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the net assets, financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Group for the business year 2002 in accordance with IAS.

Our audit, which according to German auditing regulations also extends to the group management report, combined with the management report of the Company, prepared by the Board of Management for the business year from January 1 to December 31, 2002, has not led to any reservations. In our opinion, on the whole the combined management report provides a suitable understanding of the Group´s position and suitably presents the risks of future development. In addition, we confirm that the consolidated financial statements and the combined management report for the business year from January 1 to December 31, 2002 satisfy the conditions required for the Company´s exemption from its duty to prepare consolidated financial statements and the group management report in accordance with German accounting law.

acoustic parking system The acoustic parking system assists the driver when manoeuvring into parking spaces by measuring the distance from obstructions with ultrasonic sensors. The driver is informed of the distance remaining between the car and the obstruction by an acoustic signal, the frequency of which increases until it finally becomes a continuous tone. adaptive air suspension adaptive air suspension is an electronically controlled air suspension system which enhances suspension comfort at all four wheels of the new Audi A8 by means of a continuously variable damper system. It serves as a basis for lowering the body’s ride height depending on road speed, producing superior directional stability. adaptive cruise control adaptive cruise control is an advanced version of cruise control; it detects a preceding vehicle by means of radar sensors and ensures that the desired distance is maintained between the two vehicles by regulating the engine, automatic transmission and brake system accordingly. adaptive light The adaptive light system involves an auxiliary headlight, incorporated into the headlight unit, which helps the driver to spot potential hazards earlier. It comes on automatically when the turn indicator is operated or if the driver turns the steering wheel by any significant degree. advanced key advanced key identifies the car’s driver, who need merely have the key about his person, within a range of approx. 1.5 metres and acts as an electronic access and authorisation system. The car is unlocked as soon as the door handle or luggage compartment lid is operated, and the steering and ignition are released by a starter button on the centre console; if this starter button is then pressed down fully, the engine is started automatically.

Audi Space Frame® (ASF) The ASF is a high-strength aluminium frame structure on which each planar component is integrated as part of the structure. This results in extremely high rigidity, better-than-average crash protection and a significant reduction in vehicle weight. biturbo The suffix “biturbo” for Audi V-engines indicates that there are two exhaust-driven turbochargers, one for each cylinder bank. The driver benefits from increased low-end torque, more output at higher engine speeds and greater responsiveness of the engine. Cruise control The cruise control system is an electronic aid which helps to regulate the vehicle’s speed. The system memorises and maintains the speed selected by the driver. It can reduce or increase that speed temporarily and – if desired – restore the speed last specified. Five-valve technology The five-valves-per-cylinder principle means that the engine is supplied more rapidly and effectively with air. Torque and power output are consequently boosted. Fuel consumption and emission levels are in addition improved. FSI® FSI technology increases the torque and output of spark-ignition engines, makes them up to 15 percent more economical and paves the way for lower exhaust emissions. In contrast to conventional spark-ignition engines, FSI technology involves injecting the fuel directly into the combustion chamber. No throttle valve is now necessary. This dethrottles the engine, reduces thermal losses and thus permits both increased power output and lower fuel consumption. MMI (Multi Media Interface) MMI is an integrated operating concept that enables vehicle and infotainment components to be operated intuitively and according to a simple logical principle. MMI essentially comprises two elements: the operating unit, or MMI terminal, on the centre console and the MMI display, a retractable 7-inch colour monitor. The central element of the MMI terminal is a combined rotary control/pushbutton with four control keys arranged

around it, with the aid of which the user can navigate through all menus and make the desired selection. multitronic® multitronic is a continuously variable transmission. The power is transmitted at a torque of up to 310 Newtonmetres via a steel link-plate chain, for jolt-free, forceful acceleration. In the manual mode, six simulated drive positions can be selected. In the automatic mode, the DRP dynamic control program calculates the optimum transmission ratio for the driver and driving situation, based on load. quattro® quattro permanent four-wheel drive enjoys a lengthy tradition of more than 20 years. This four-wheel-drive principle involves distributing the engine’s power permanently and according to demand to all four wheels. It provides high active safety, reliable traction on virtually all surfaces and optimum directional stability at all times, even in cross-winds; it is easily superior to driveroperated four-wheel-drive systems because its superior safety features are permanently “on standby”. sideguard The sideguard airbag system provides increased headlevel protection for the front and rear occupants of a vehicle in the event of a suitably severe lateral collision, effectively complementing the side airbag and a correctly worn three-point seat belt. sideguard cushions the effect of the head striking interior components or objects outside the vehicle. In crash situations, the load on the neck is reduced thanks to less pronounced movement of the head. In conjunction with designed-in passive safety measures, sideguard provides an outstandingly high level of lateral impact protection. Sports steering wheel with gearshift function The driver can prompt manual gear changes by the tiptronic or multitronic automatic transmission via shift paddles mounted directly on the leather sports steering wheel. This adds to driving fun and introduces a note of individual choice to dynamic driving. The 3-spoke design highlights the sports character; the full-size airbag is integrated into the steering wheel.

TDI® Audi has many years of experience with TDI technology, an area in which it has been one of the pioneers since 1989. At Audi, TDI denotes diesel models with diesel direct injection. The characteristics of TDI engines are economy, low emissions, high traction and an excellent power yield. tiptronic tiptronic is a special form of transmission which unites the convenience of an automatic transmission with the driving enjoyment and dynamic response of a manual gearbox. The driver can switch from the automatic mode to one-touch gearshifts at any time while on the move. Gearshifts take place with uninterrupted traction in both transmission modes. Turbocharger The operating principle is as follows: a turbine uses the energy of the exhaust-gas flow to drive a compressor impeller located on the same shaft (but in the fresh-air flow). It compresses the fresh air as it is drawn in and forces it into the cylinders. The engine thus has more oxygen for the combustion process. Power output, torque and efficiency can all be boosted in this way compared with naturally aspirated engines of the same displacement. The main points in favour of turbochargers are the energy saving, lower emissions and greater torque. 4-level air suspension 4-level air suspension for the front and rear axles is a standard technical feature of the Audi allroad quattro. With ground clearance of up to 208 mm and in conjunction with the standard feature of quattro drive, this vehicle is also capable of tackling difficult terrain. The ground clearance can be adjusted manually or automatically to four different height settings, covering a total range of 66 mm. An automatic mode regulates the ride height in line with road speed.

Success through innovation In 2002, Audi added a further accolade to its long list of sporting achievements: its third win in a row at the Le Mans 24 Hours. Audi has thus finally secured a place in motor sport’s hall of fame – and acquired valuable experience in the process. Motor sport has always provided a crucial test for innovations before they are introduced on production vehicles. Ideas that were first tested out in

Success through teamwork – our employees motor sport range from a new aluminium frame structure and a new wishbone to a new generation of engines. These developments were perfected in the S and RS models, the most dynamic of Audi vehicles, and are the most vivid example of Audi’s sporting prowess. They reflect the emotionally charged qualities that make Audi something special: power, pleasure and performance.

The name Audi not only stands for a quality car manufacturer. Audi is also behind a number of sports and cultural events in the role of sponsor. In this way it succeeds in forging a link between the brand’s key areas of expertise – design and sports appeal – and other areas that are important to our customers.
