Audi is redesigning its dealerships to enhance the entire Audi exclusive customer experience. Audi’s new “terminal” dealerships combine efficiency, performance, luxury, and environmental themes. Part of a $1 billion dealership investment, 30 Audi terminal dealerships will be open by the end of 2010.
The square, stackable design of the showroom efficiently uses space in both a crowded urban downtown setting and an open suburban community. By consolidating space and using natural light, the new terminal dealerships save 30-40 percent in expenses.
The back wall of the dealership is a rounded curve simulating the sharp high-speed turns of motor sport racetracks. The custom-made furniture and accessories are all designed to fit into the Audi vision and enhance customers' car-buying experience.

Polished black floors and environmentally friendly in-ground lifts are featured in the facility as well as a mixture of both private and open spaces with wi-fi throughout.
