Differentiation:Audi says it intends to pursue a new design strategy that will differentiate
more between model lines, allow a greater integration of technical features and give emphasis to
creating individual styling that pairs the exterior and interior of a vehicle.The automaker's main
goal is to distinguish between the styling of its A, R and Q model lines.Audi points to the
Crosslane Coupe concept car as an example of its new design direction."Something new has to
come along without breaking with tradition," Audi design chief Wolfgang Egger said in a
statement, adding that technology will no longer be buried in a design but made visible.Egger
said an example of this is the mix of technology and novel material combinations used on the
design of the Crosslane, which Audi debuted at the Paris auto show. The concept is seen as a
starting point for a future Q2 small SUV and an example of what future Q family models will
look like.Audi's new design direction also intends to achieve a greater unity between the
individuality of exterior and interior designs in its vehicles, to such an extent that customers will
be able to recognize models from their interiors.
4P’S OF AUDI:
Product: Audi produce only high-tech, modern, high quality cars. Audi has slogan “Truth of
engineering”, what means all goods of this company must be on high level of all area
technologies such as ecology, safety, comfortable and economy. Really, Audi‟s cars comply with
the slogan.

and quality. For example, Mercedes-Benz‟s cars are much more expensive than Audi‟s cars, but
they have the same quality. The price of Audi‟s cars oriented on middle-class and target audience
are mens, because Audi‟s cars are brutal.

in everyday life, especially mans feel a lack in adrenaline. And racing is the best way to show
