To clarify...I believe that Mike is right...I should have said that the R9 was never used to refer to a sports car project.
The idea that there was an interum program to develop a sportscar between the R8 and the R10 that was scrapped is the fantasy of outside speculation, as far as I know.
Such project designations are assigned early in a project's life. A DTM project that fields a car for the 2005 season can easily be initiated before an engine project (and subsequent car) for the 2006 season. Thus, the R10 being assigned in 2002 is entirely logical.
