Audi launched production of the new Audi A1 nearly one year ago and the German automaker announced today that it has built the 100,000th model. To mark the occasion, King Albert II of Belgium visited the site in the Forest district of Brussels.

“We are very honored that the King of Belgium has taken such a great interest in Audi and that he has visited our plant,” said Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management of Audi. “The Forest site has been part of the Audi family – and the Company’s success story – for four years now. With the Audi A1, Audi Brussels is making a major contribution to the dynamic growth of our brand.”

Audi has invested roughly €300 million to bring the plant up to the state of the art since its acquisition in 2007.
