World's largest Audi centre opens
Located next to the M4, Audi West London has three showroom floors, making it possible for drivers on the motorway to see displays inside the centre.
The dealership will have space for 116 cars, a 32-car workshop in the basement and a two-storey exhibitions and conference centre.
Innovative design
Designed by Wilkinson Eyre, the same company that created the Millennium Bridge in Gateshead, the architecture of Audi's new centre takes inspiration from themes including the manta ray fish and the wings of a B2 stealth bomber.
The one-tonne aluminium sculpture that dominated Audi's display at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed is suspended in a purpose-built atrium within the centre.
The showroom cost £45 million to build and up to 30,000 customers a year are expected to use it.
Audi estimates that it will sell around 700 cars from its new London showroom in the next 12 months.
Spyder stars at new Audi showroom
Spyder stars at new Audi showroom
AUDI rolled out the long-awaited open top version of its lightweight, mid-engine R8 Spyder when the company opened the doors on the German firm's new flagship showrooms in London.
Based on the 525PS, 5.2-litre FSI model but with a bespoke body featuring extra weight-saving carbon fibre composite panels, Audi's new star car is expected to start reaching UK customers early next year.
Priced from £109,580, the quattro-drive supercar has a soft-top hood that can be lowered and raised at the touch of a button in 19 seconds at speeds under 31mph.
When lowering, it folds like a Z under the automatic cover of its storage compartment above the 10-cylinder engine.
Standard equipment includes all-LED headlights - a world first for Audi in the R8 V10 - an extended leather interior package, heated seats, DVD satellite navigation and unique new seatbelt-mounted microphones which make it possible to talk on the phone even with the top down on the motorway.
Like its Coupe relative, the Spyder delivers uncompromising performance from a largely hand-built motor which develops 530Nm torque and spins freely to its 8,700rpm limit to take the car to 62mph from rest in 4.1 seconds and go on to a top speed of 194mph.
