Audi Unveils Custom-Painted Audi A5 at Audi Forum New York City to Benefit the
G&P Foundation for Cancer Research
Audi R8 TDI Le Mans Concept to be Showcased at Event

NEW YORK, March 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Audi of America, Inc. today announced
it will unveil a custom-painted A5 created by New York City-based artist Hunt
Slonem, at the company's kick off event for the 2008 New York International
Auto Show at the Audi Forum New York City. The A5 is Audi's all new sports
coupe. In addition to the special A5 unveiling, Audi will showcase the highly
anticipated R8 TDI Le Mans concept.
As part of Audi's ongoing relationship with Denise Rich's G&P Foundation
for Cancer Research, the Slonem-designed A5 will be auctioned off later this
year to benefit the organization. The G&P Foundation was created to encourage
the development of more effective therapies for patients with leukemia,
lymphoma and related cancers. Prior to auction, the A5 will tour the country,
including a stop at the American Film Institute at the Arclight in Los
Angeles. Additionally, the car will be displayed at events created by another
non-profit organization Audi supports, Best Buddies International. Best
Buddies is dedicated to enhancing the lives of people with intellectual
disabilities by providing opportunities for one-to-one friendships.
"Audi is committed to providing support to well deserving organizations
making a difference in people's lives everyday," said Johan de Nysschen,
executive vice president, Audi of America. "We are honored to work with Denise
Rich and the G&P Foundation for Cancer Research, and know that our support
will help with their mission to develop new therapies for treating cancer. We
thank Hunt Slonem for contributing his artistic talents to create a
distinctive version of the A5 that will be sold for a very worthwhile cause."
The Audi R8 TDI Le Mans concept made its first and only U.S. appearance at
the 2008 North American International Auto Show in January 2008. The R8 TDI Le
Mans features a variation on the Le Mans-winning Audi R10 diesel engine. The
concept model's twelve-cylinder clean diesel engine produces 500 hp and 738
lb-ft of torque, while achieving a fuel-efficient 23 mpg.
The event will also feature catering by famed chef and restaurateur David
Bouley, and a performance by the Loston Harris Trio.
