Yes, your dealer can order one configured the way you did it on the Audi USA website.
It's a slow process.
Since you are on the east coast that helps, but you are still looking at about four months from order to delivery.
As I have advised before, if ordering an Audi ask your salesperson for a "Vehicle Details" printout.
This shows all the relevant information about your car and it's projected dates, this is very important.

While we are on the topic of ordering. An "ordering newbee" here.
1. When does one pay for an order? On pickup?
2. Do you put down a deposit? Non refundable?
3. ...Or have I heard that you could back out? (Not that I would plan to.)
4. Presumably you need to negotiate the price of the car (and any discounts) PRIOR to ordering?
5. And, if any sales incentives are available at the actual point when your car arrives, you can take advantage of them?
6. but, what if the car arrives just after a sales campaign ends? SOL?
7. And any trade valuation would be at time of pickup... So you are rolling the dice on what they might give you for your trade?

When my sister ordered her previous TTS, she placed the order in early March and got the car in late August. It took about 3 months for the order to be accepted by the factory an then another 3 months for the car to be built and shipped over.

1. When does one pay for an order? On pickup?
Yes, balance is paid upon delivery.
2. Do you put down a deposit? Non refundable?
Yes; amount and refundable or not are individual dealer dependent (most refundable).
3. ...Or have I heard that you could back out? (Not that I would plan to.)
Yes you can back out. Note: this is why some dealers will balk on very unusual option orders as they are concerned with getting stuck with same.
4. Presumably you need to negotiate the price of the car (and any discounts) PRIOR to ordering?
Yes, all negotiations at time of ordering.
5. And, if any sales incentives are available at the actual point when your car arrives, you can take advantage of them?
Typically not as negotiations at time of ordering. But some dealers will afford add'l incentives at delivery (e.g. loyalty which seems to have a random timetable).
6. but, what if the car arrives just after a sales campaign ends? SOL?
Again, all negotiations at time of ordering.
7. And any trade valuation would be at time of pickup... So you are rolling the dice on what they might give you for your trade?
Again, all negotiations at time of ordering.
I "pre-ordered" my TTS in June 2016 and took delivery in late November. Although I didn't put huge miles on my trade-in over the span the trade value at ordering was still honored.

Thanks JohnEnglish and Huey52. All sounds good.
Seems supplier and ACNA discounts are not available on RS models. My dealer said he would do 2% on a TTRS. Which leaves the trade in as the biggest negotiable (if I go the dealer trade in route). Seems, for RS... If you want the car, you gotta pay. :-)

SYMAWD,
When you've got a moment, can you check COMM# QC2103
I'm interested to see if it is in the system yet... But... it looks like it is "Order Waitlist"... Does that mean the (apparently) two other allocations ahead of me will be sorted before I see my details? Thanks in advance.
