Concerning the Car of the Year award that the R8 won, Diego Ramos, Executive Vice President of Audi Canada, stated that "There won't be any extra advertising based of the award, since the car doesn't need it. The R8 is a flagship vehicle that's already sold out for the next year and a half. It integrates all the fundamental values that define every Audi."
