15th May 2008[FONT=verdana,geneva"]Here's one Audi TT that's really mean and roofless! Our spies have the first pictures of the stunning new Clubsport version of the stylish German roadster. The special, stripped-out model boasts aggressive new looks and a powerful 300bhp motor.

As you can see, the newcomer is showroom-ready and takes its design cues from the concept that wowed crowds at the Essen Motor Show, Germany last November.

As a result, the Clubsport will certainly turn heads. At the front there is a deeper front bumper than the standard car, while bulging wheelarches and deep side skirts feature down the sides.

But the big news is above the waistline. Like the classic Porsche Speedster of the Fifties, the drop-top Audi gets a chopped down windscreen and distinctive sloping slide glass. Behind the cockpit are rollover hoops for driver and passenger, while the cover for the fabric hood features eye-catching "˜speed' bubbles.

Underneath the exciting bodywork is a turbocharged 2.0-litre motor from the S3 hatchback, tuned to deliver 300bhp. Connected to the firm's grippy Quattro all-wheel drive transmission it promises to offer blistering performance.

No launch date has yet been revealed, but expect to see the first production examples appear later this year.[FONT=verdana,geneva"]
 
Maybe its a very cunning disguise or then again maybe they have lost the plot again and produced a cheaper debatably just as good competitor for themselves!
 
4 wheel drive, water in the engine and at the wrong end.not really a Speedster. Windscreen looks a bit scant maybe they have decided to replicate the water leaks though [:)]
 
Gawd. What worries me is Porsche going down the same road ie great, heavy slabs of steel powered by huge-output engines etc.Would be nice to think that they would reverse-think soon and do pretty, lightweight again.
