Even though Audi will be rolling out two new editions of their mid-engine terror next year, the suits say waiting lists are only going to get longer. With the new RS8 V10 and its topless cohort, the R8 Spyder, just around the corner the company says that with folks already vying for the fifty or so R8’s that make it stateside each month, the “special” models will only be that much more sought after. As is, you can expect to wait a solid 8 months for a plain jane R8. With Audi only cranking out around twenty-seven of the 10-bangers per day for every market worldwide (and less than half of those headed our direction) there’s no escaping an epic queue. Especially as Audi board member Michael Dick is claimimg that about 80 percent of R8 buyers will opt for the 450 horse, 5.2-liter V10. Oh, and seeing as how the V10 is only a few horses up on the 414 hp V8, you can expect to see the RS8’s power go way, way up. Especially as the RS5 — which features the same 4.2-liter V8 as the R8 — will be leaving Ingolstadt with 450 ponies. Confused yet? Get in line. [Source: Car and Driver]
