Audi Clubsport quattro Speedster Concept revealed

This reveal was quite unexpected, as we came across upon this today. Audi released images of its Clubsport quattro Speedster Concept, which is basically an Audi TT Roadster with no pillars. The Speedster consists of no top, A-pillar, or rearview mirrors. Instead, a small windshield and side mirrors with turn signals do the job. It also features an enormous grille, which is prominent in Audi's recent concepts such as the Cross Coupe quattro Concept, revealed in Shanghai.

The Speedster is powered by a gussied up variant of the 2.0L TFSI engine, pumping out 300hp. Coupled to Audi's S-Tronic dual-clutch transmission, its brakes have been also modeified to carbon ceramic units. It runs on 20" lightweight alloys to maximize its advantage of the light weight.

Audi has revealed no more information than what we wrote above via Autobild. The Speedster will NOT debut at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show as you might have expected while reading the article. In fact, Audi will unveil the Speedster Concept at Wörtherseetreffen 2007, a tuning show for VW GTIs, in Germany.
