The 32 year-old English international cricketer plays for Lancashire County Cricket Club, England and Indian Premier League team, Chennai Super Kings. Together with his wife and three children he has lived in Dubai since September 2009. He and his family will now be driving two Dubai-plated Audi Q7s.
"Great car! I'll certainly enjoy driving myself and the family around the roads of Dubai in an Audi," says Flintoff.
Jeff Mannering, Managing Director of Audi Middle East, comments, "Freddie is a great ambassador for Audi: sporty, successful and a family man with strong values. We couldn't think of anyone better to represent our brand."
Flintoff is the first from the Middle East to join a league of high profile Audi ambassadors worldwide, including Justin Timberlake, who famously plays the leading role in the exceptional Audi A1 internet campaign.

AUDI Group sold around 950,000 cars in 2009. The Company posted revenue of €29.8bn and an operating profit of €1.6bn. Audi produces vehicles in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm (Germany), Györ (Hungary), Changchun (China) and Brussels (Belgium). Aurangabad in India saw the start of CKD production of the Audi A6 at the end of 2007 and of the Audi A4 in early October 2008. The Company is active in more than 100 markets worldwide. AUDI AG's wholly owned subsidiaries include AUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft., Automobili Lamborghini Holding S.p.A. in Sant'Agata Bolognese (Italy) and quattro GmbH in Neckarsulm. Audi currently employs around 58,000 people worldwide, including 45,500 in Germany.
Between 2010 and 2012 the Audi Group is planning to invest around €5.5bn in order to sustain the Company's technological lead embodied in its "Vorsprung durch Technik" slogan. By 2015, Audi plans to significantly increase the number of models in its portfolio to 42.
Audi has long been fulfilling its social responsibility on many levels - with the aim of making the future worth living for generations to come. The basis for Audi's lasting success is therefore formed by environmental protection, the conservation of resources, international competitiveness and a forward-looking human resources policy. One example of AUDI AG's commitment to environmental issues is the newly established Audi Environmental Foundation.
AUDI AG's commitment to the region was confirmed through the foundation of its fully owned subsidiary in 2005: Audi Middle East. The current Middle East model range comprises the A3 Sportback and A4, the A5, A5 Sportback, A5 Cabriolet, A6, S6 and RS 6, the TT and TT RS Coupe and Roadster, the A8, S8, the Q5, Q7, the R8 and the R8 V10.
