While the survey results also showed lingering perceptions that women are less interested in performance cars (38%), have less knowledge of performance cars (39%), and are less skilled when it comes to driving them (37%), the findings interestingly showcased that the influence of external opinions holds little sway.
Scott Shears, General Manager of Audi Abu Dhabi, commented on the findings saying: “At Audi, we firmly believe that at the wheel, skill knows no gender. The brand’s commitment to empowering all drivers, irrespective of gender, fuels our progress, innovation, and design. We are happy to see an increasing number of female drivers in our performance models. The results of this survey are a reflection of the commitment of the UAE government to gender balance and the fundamental belief from the leadership that women and men are equal partners in society.”
