Global sales in the first 11 months of the year reached 1,003,900, surpassing the record of 1,003,469 for 2008 as a whole, and 15% above sales in the year-earlier period.
November sales were primarily driven by growth in China and the U.S., as well as stronger demand in Germany, Audi said in a press statement. In China, sales were up 7.2% on the year, at 17,692 cars, while U.S. sales surged 38% to 9,365 cars. In Germany, Audi sold 22,055 cars in November, up 1.0% from a year earlier. 
"Despite the high growth of recent months in China, Germany will once again win the head-to-head race among our biggest markets in 2010," managing board member Peter Schwarzenbauer said in the statement.
A high number of orders in recent weeks will help Audi finish the year strongly in December, he added.
