Audi is the New Automobile Supplier of the International Olympic Committee (IOC)

- International Olympic Committee (IOC) now drives Audi
- Long-term suppliership complements car brand’s commitments

Five rings are now driving four rings: Effective immediately, Audi is the new automobile supplier of the International Olympic Committee, equipping the organization’s fleet in Lausanne plus international IOC events with Audi models. In addition, there are plans to jointly develop projects, for instance in the area of Corporate Responsibility, within the scope of the suppliership.

The Volkswagen Group has supported the Olympic Games at various levels for a long time. The Group was the official vehicle partner of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and will again assume this role in 2014 at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. Furthermore, Audi is a partner of the National Olympic Committees in Germany, Finland, Russia and Switzerland. “Through our cooperation with the IOC as the top-level global organization we aim to link our brand even closer with international sport,” says Luca de Meo, member of the Board of Management of AUDI AG for Marketing and Sales. “We’re going to shape many exciting joint projects in the future.”

space21, FYI the articles I submitted about Audi are on highly important, relevant and interesting topics such as autonomous driving, a new hot SQ5 SUV coming to the U.S. market, and Audi's sales growth in the world's largest car market of China.

Just because YOU may not be interested in hearing the news, it is not fair for German luxury brand and Audi enthusiasts to be deprived of such information.

Audi and enthusiast to not go together.

The articles you did post to sum up Audi values pretty well.

SQ5=Fast Cute ute for the ladies.

Autonomous driving= remove the driver from the equation. Audi been doing it for years. Numb steering, understeer, bland styling.

China-You forgot to mention BMW the fastest growing in that market.On average 10-30% higher per month than Audi. You Always mention Audi's fast growing in the US, but no mention of BMW in china.

I'm sure this collaboration with the IOC was something many manufacturers contended for.

Some people aren't smart enough to realize that posting comments on topics you dislike not only won't make them go, but are likely to encourage more. I appreciate the posts too, G-nut . Keep 'em coming.
