5m Audi quattro drive systems

The five millionth Audi with a quattro drive system rolled off the assembly line earlier today at the carmaker's Neckarsulm plant.

The car was an Audi A6 allroad 3.0 TDI.

Audi claim to offer the widest range of cars with all-wheel-drive; the Q7, R8, A4 allroad, A6 allroad as well as all S and RS models are available exclusively with quattro drives. Audi offers it as an option in all other model lines.

In 2012, more than 43 percent of Audi customers selected a quattro model, setting a new record.

Quattro technology debuted in 1980.
