Default misprint?

"Audi's super sports car - the R8 - will be launched with a 420-horsepower 4.2-liter engine. Other engine options generating even more power will subsequently be offered. Production will start at Audi's Neckarsulm plant at the end of 2006 with market launch to follow in 2007."

I was under the impression that this car (aka. LeMans Quattro IIRC) would be called the R9<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/news/06/022306/">https://www.audiworld.com/news/06/022306/</a></li></ul>

Default No it is the R8, not the R9

Although I hate that name choice considering that it is confusing with the R8 racecar (or maybe that's why they did it...)
