No the title above is not a repost. Previously, we've read about Audi's largest "Audi Lighthouse" in Sydney, Australia. Well apparently Audi Australia's 16,000+ square meter facility has just been eclipsed by the 17,650+ square meter Audi Centre of West London, operated by the Sytner Group.
Sytner's Audi Centre West London dealership is a 7-storey facility (5 floors above ground with 2 floors housing a 32 bay workshop as well as parking facilities. There is also a 3-storey showroom that can house 116 cars! This new flagship outlet is located on prime real estate area, along an elevated section of the M4 motorway.
To mark this historic occassion, Audi UK did the UK launch of the R8 Spyder V10.
The Sytner Group is a UK based multi-brand mega franchise that runs a large network of luxury car dealerships that includes brands like BMW, MINI, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini Rolls-Royce as well as regular makes like Toyota and Honda. It is also a subsidiary USA based car dealer giant Penske Automotive Group. Sytner Group was also ranked 4th in the Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For list (Big companies category). The company was founded in the 1960s by 1988 British Touring Car Champion (in a E30 Prodrive BMW M3) Frank Sytner and his brother Alan. They started as a BMW dealership but soon expanded their business into a very successful multi-franchise network. The company was then sold to American Roger Penske's Penske Automotive Group in 2002.
Frank Sytner continues to sit on Sytner's advisory board and races historic racing cars. During his BTCC winning days, Frank Sytner piloting his Prodive BMW M3 is known within racing circles as "Fearless Frank."
