Alongside the existing engine plant and vehicle assembly line, a complete automotive production line is being created on the newly acquired 200-hectare site at the Győr plant. The company, which commenced assembly of the Audi TT in 1998, currently produces the Audi TT Coupé and TT Roadster, and the Audi A3 Cabriolet and RS 3 Sportback. A further A3 derivative model will be joining them. From 2013 on, Audi Hungaria will be producing 125,000 cars each year.
