Audi's boss talks local production, wagons, and maybe a new R8 supercar

We talk with Gernot Döllner, CEO of Audi AG, about where he's taking the company.

Why this matters
Why now

This is a routine interview with an automotive CEO discussing future product plans and company direction.

Why it’s important

It provides minor insights into Audi's potential product strategy for enthusiasts but has no broader strategic relevance.

What changes

Nothing immediately changes; it's a statement of potential future intent, not a confirmed product launch or strategic pivot.

Second-order effects
Direct

Audi potentially gauges public interest in new vehicle types.

Second

Competitors might note Audi's potential product directions, but no significant market impact.

Third

The broader automotive industry remains unaffected by these early-stage discussions.
