The entire run of Audi R8 s for 2009 has sold out. There's now an 18-month waiting list for Audi's hand-built supercar. This news comes just as we were about to place our order, meaning it'll be even longer before Wert gets to drive get driven around in one . It also comes despite a price hike of $3,500, although we suppose that if you can afford a $113,700 car, that slight hike ceases to be relevant. galleryPost('08AudiR8mountains', 3, 'Audi R8'); The R8's success is good news for both the upcoming 2009 Audi R8 V10 and Audi R8 TDI , guaranteeing them a market — not that anyone has any doubt those will sell out too. Jalopnik Snap Judgment: This is the best supercar on the market, mixing gorgeous looks with excellent performance and everyday luxury. It's no surprise that the limited run has already been spoken for; in fact, it nicely validates our opinion of the car. [via Edmunds ] Photography: Grant Ray

We've seen a lot of the 2009 Audi R8 V10 since breaking the first pics and providing video of it running last month. But now we get an unblemished look from Autoweek.nl at the new hotness from the four rings in all its re-powered glory. The new R8, with it's 5.2 liter V10, flared-out side-blade, and modified nose is definitely swoon-worthy, as evidenced by these unbelievably clean shots apparently snapped outside of Quattro GmbH in Germany. We can't wait to see the times this thing posts on the Nurburgring . galleryPost('blackr8v10', 4, 'Jet Black R8 V10 Menacing The good People Of Germany'); [ Audiblog via GMI ]

newVideoPlayer("IronMan_AudiR8_jalopnik_gawker.flv", 475, 350,""); After the big Super Bowl blitzkrieg , we all kind of knew the media marketing on Iron Man would muscle it's way beyond mere trailers, and it just has. The culprit? Audi, of course. The multi-ringed brand has spent some serious Deutsche-marks to set up a mini-site for the movie that shows off the R8, the rest of the Audi lineup, some historical background on the brand all about the Vorsprung durch Technik and about three whole seconds of all-new footage from the new movie with some Audi hand-job action spliced with it. Whatever. We're still excited about the movie and everyone already knows how excited we already are for the Audi R8. Although we'd prefer they'd have used the "Iron Man Red" Audi R8 V12 TDI Le Mans we saw live in Geneva. Full press release below the jump. galleryPost('AudiR8IronMan', 6, 'Audi R8 Is Iron Man'); „Iron Man" and Audi R8: Vorsprung...
