- Performance Parts

Enrico Atanasio, Director of Audi Middle East, states: “Audi has always been driven by its pioneering spirit and by being a leader in innovation. Motorsport is in our DNA and it is the catalyst for innovations like quattro, e-tron, and ultra. Audi Legends such as Walter Röhrl and Tom Kristensen, who won Le Mans five times, have defined the Audi Sport brand. This clear focus on Audi Sport ties together the rich history of Audi motorsport with the wide range of high-performance cars we now produce.”
