CNA938 Rewind - Tech Talk: Why a traditional showroom is passé for Audi. And why they cut out the middle-man

CNA938 Rewind

No more heading to Leng Kee to test drive the iconic "4-Rings" luxury vehicle. They've just recognised 1-year of a direct-to-consumer model here. No more agents. No more middle man.

And as I discover, this isn’t a showroom. That's old news. Today it's about building a unique space that reflects the lifestyle of the owner. But is that enough to compete with Singapore's rapidly changing and incredibly challenging car-ownership landscape?

Daniel Martin speaks with Martin Bayer, Managing Director, Audi Singapore.
