Audi R8: Sold out in UK!

Monday, October 30, 2006

Not even available officially, the Audi R8 is already sold out in UK. Very impressing, but it's a fantastic car and we are sure that each owner will have great fun with it.

Audi's first supercar is a sell-out success, months before the first R8s are delivered to British customers. Firm orders have already been placed for all 400 of the first UK allocation, with 50 more customers in line behind them.

Pre-production models have been out and about on the streets near Audi's Ingolstadt HQ, and we're assured that on the road it looks and sounds fantastic. Although the engine is based on one used in other Audis, in the R8 it sounds richer. We'll see and hear it for ourselves on the road in Britain next spring, when it goes on sale, priced from a likely £77,000.
