1,013,697 had come off the assembly line in Gyor by the end of June, 1.3% more than a year ago. 1.9m engines were produced in the whole of 2006.
The plant also produces the Audi TT and, thanks to the launch of a new model, production has increased strongly from just over 5,000 units in the first six months of 2006 to over 32,000 in the first half of this year.
Audi will also produce the A3 cabriolet at the Gyor plant from the spring of 2008. The plant is expected to build around 23,000 units a year, with bodies delivered from Ingolstadt using a system that has already been succesfully proven with the TT.
