Audi has announced that it produced 509,000 cars for the first 2007 semester. It is the best figure for a semester in the company's history. However, the carmaker appears cautious in its forecasts despite a new A4 due to be launched at the end of the year and the fact that the million mark will be passed in 2008.

In comparison, BMW sold 730,285 cars during the same period. Audi's sales increased on almost every market, even on the highly competitive European market.

Audi recently launched the Audi A5 and the Audi R8. The carmaker is not able to build enough R8 to satisfy demand because of the car's fibre panels, which are difficult to make. A total of only twenty R8 are built in a day.

The German brand will display its new baby SUV known as Q5 at the next Frankfurt motor show. After the new A4 due to be released at the end of the year, it will launch the long-awaited A3 convertible in summer 2008.
