Wolfsburg-based VW, which also has a joint venture with China's SAIC Motor Corp, last year sold almost 3.3 million cars in China, its biggest market, about a third of its record global deliveries of 9.73 million. The German behemoth, whose 12 brands include ultra-luxury marque Bentley and heavy-trucks manufacturer Scania, has enjoyed a period of sustained growth, boosted by emerging market buyers. It is set to hit a 10-million sales target in 2014 - four years early - underscoring its bid to eclipse global sales champion Toyota. Nine-month group deliveries in China, including the Audi luxury brand and sports-car maker Porsche, jumped 15 per cent to 2.72 million autos, VW said on Friday in a separate statement. -REUTERS
