In Audi’s new sales report released Tuesday, the German automaker said that its Audi R8 car is sold out for months to come. Audi however is not saying how many R8s it has sold since the supercar hit the market last year.

The Volkswagen owned brand reported a 2.9 percent gans in sales in April, selling a total of 86,700 units worldwide.

The fastest ever Audi produced, the R8 is powered by a 4.2 liter FSI V8 engine that gives it the ability to do 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 187mph. It’s even Tony Stark’s choice of transportation when he isn’t flying around the world in his red and gold suite. Not to mention they crashed a total of 3 R8s during the shooting of the Iron Man movie.

Audi is expected to debut a roadster and V10 powered R8 next year.
