Despite that the first US customers won't be getting their Audi R8s for a year, many are already whipping out their double-platinum cards to place deposits — many at the new Audi Forum in New York City. To give these 'merican buyers a first look of the new Porsche 911 fighter, Audi is throwing a parade along tony Park Avenue next week. The R8 will be accompanied by Audi's R10 TDI and Auto Union Type D racecars, along with various dignitaries, executives, et al (no word on Dick Clark). The media event (where's my camera?) will take place on October 11 at 10:00 am EST, and will make its way from a staging area on 52nd street up down to the Forum on 57th 47th.
