FUSE  LAUNCH  NEW  AUDI  A6  UNVIELED  IN  JAMAICA    THE  runway  at  the  Tinson  Pen  Aerodome  provided  the  perfect  setting  for  the  world’s  leading  violin  duo  to  unveiling  of  the  new  Audi  A6.    ATL-­‐branded  'flight  attendants'  lined  either  side  of  the  red  carpet  leading  up  to  the  Sandals  hangar  where  the  car  stood  undercover  before  it  was  revealed.    It  was  time  for  the  ATL  deputy  chairman  Adam  Stewart  to  switch  gears  to  introducing  the  evening's  'special  guest'  -­‐  the  2012  Audi  A6  unveiled  to  the  live  soundtrack  of  violin  stars  Linzi  Stoppard  and  Ben  Lee,  aka  FUSE.    

   

 FUSE  came  to  global  prominence  after  their  critically  celebrated  album  “FUSE”  was  released  by  edel/Universal.  Linzi  and  Ben  turned  their  backs  on  cross-­‐over  clichés  and  took  the  violin  world  on  a  journey  that  re-­‐wrote  the  benchmark  releasing  a  14  track  album  of  lovingly  interpreted  anthems  taking  the  listener  on  an  uplifting  journey  never  heard  before.      Tracks  include  ‘Beat  It’  by  Michael  Jackson  and  Coldplay’s  ‘Fix  You’,  hits  by  Kiss,  Led  Zeppelin  and  Europe.

In  2010/11  FUSE  performed  live  on  TV  to  audiences  of  over  200  million  including  appearances  on  GQ  Men  of  the  Year  Awards,  headlining  the  Istanbul  Cross-­‐Over  Festival,  London  &  Paris  Fashion  Weeks,  several  performances  at  the  Royal  Albert  Hall  and  Glastonbury  Festival.  FUSE  showed  the  electric  violin  could  be  just  as  versatile  with  the  right  imagination  and  virtuoso  intent.    From  the  stage  between  2  gleaming  Audi  A6s  FUSE  thrilled  600  guests  with  their  stunning  visual  and  musical  experience,  followed  by  a  special  encore  on  the  satellite  stage  outside  the  hanger  infront  of  Jamaica’s  fastest  car  –  the  AUDI  TT  DTM  race  car.      

   

"In  my  25  years  in  the  industry,  it's  the  first  time  that  I  have  ever  been  to  two  functions  of  this  magnitude  in  one  day,  "  said  Diego  Ramos,  vice  president  of  Audi  for  Latin  America  and  the  Caribbean.      "This  new  A6  is  the  business  car  of  the  world.  It  is  ideal  for  successful  people...like  entrepreneurs,  lawyers  and  engineers.  It's  for  anyone  who  appreciates  technology  and  performance,"  he  said.    This  seventh-­‐generation  A6  sedan  is  over  16  feet  long  and  six  wide.  Its  optional  LED  headlight  gives  the  vehicle  its  distinctive  appearance.  The  numerous  aluminium  components  and  the  high-­‐tech  steels  reduce  its  weight  roughly  by  66  pounds.    "We  have  the  three-­‐litre,  V-­‐6  supercharge  Audi,  which  moves  from  0  to  62  mph  in  5.9  seconds.  We  also  have  the  2.8-­‐litre,  with  an  eight-­‐speed  multitronic  transmission  and  the  two-­‐litre,  four-­‐cylinder  with  an  eight-­‐speed  multitronic  transmission,"  Stewart  told  his  audience.  "And,  the  styling,  the  safety  features  and  the  number  of  options  these  cars  have,  is  mind  blowing."

     With  other  German  brands  squarely  in  Audi's  sights,  Stewart  asked  if  there  was  anyone  present  who  wanted  to  drive  the  A6.  There  were  many  takers  and,  when  the  hangar's  doors  were  opened,  they  duly  went  outside  to  the  roar  of  Doug  Gore  speeding  on  the  tarmac  in  his  Audi  TT  race  car,  eager  to  get  a  feel  of  the  more  sedate  A6.    For  more  information  please  visit:  ATL  AUDI  –  www.audijamaica.com/aola/brand/en_jm.html  FUSE  –  www.fuseofficial.com
