Default 2019 Audi RS Q8 on the Nurburgring!

Test day on the Nurburgring. The new 2019 Audi RS Q8 will be the most powerful series-production Audi, yet will take the form of a large SUV when it is launched next year as the RS Q8. In the super-saloon, the 4.0 liter V8, which is force-fed air by a pair of twin scroll blowers, produces 542bhp and 568lb ft of torque, while the electric motor injects a further 134bhp and 295lb ft of torque through an eight-speed twin-clutch automatic gearbox. In full operation, the combined system output peaks at 670bhp and 627lb ft. This would make the RS Q8 Audi’s most powerful model, eclipsing the output of the R8 V10 Plus by 68bhp and 214lb ft.

Anyone know when Audi NA might be posting their 2019 Audis on their site (other than A7/A8)? They list "future" vehicles, with no real info, while BMW, for example, already has their 2019 models posted for some weeks. Can you even order a new 2018 Audi? Is anyone at AoA paying attention?
