USA R8 update....(UPDATED. EXCITING NEWS!)
1. approx. 200 vehicles allocated for 2007. about 500 for 2008. these figures are for the V8 model only.
2. car will not come fully equipped. there will be a few separate options that can be ordered. not sure which ones.
3. audi is basing its allocation on two main things-
number of documented people (names and phone numbers) interested in a car (smart way of getting accurate numbers since many people are on various dealer lists and have given multiple deposits)
past sales performance of RS cars, particularly the RS4. some smaller dealers in high demand markets have sold as many, if not more, RS4s than champion!
because of (3) the final allocation could vary. audi wants to sell as many cars as it can but have none sitting on a lot.
audi is not interested in how much money a particular person has given for a deposit... they know these can be returned and therefore do not have much validity.
