According to an Austrian magazine, Audi and KTM are jointly and secretly developing a sporty roadster.

The Audi-KTM roadster would take inspiration from the Caterham Seven, but would be more motorbike-like (it seems that a helmet will be necessary to drive it).

The weight of the roadster would be around 700 kg. If it’s true that the 260 hp 4 cylinder TFSI engine of the next S3 is under consideration for this car, it’ll have a power/weight ratio similar to that of theFerrari 599 GTB!

Audi CEO Martin Winterkorn is said to like the project, but a definite decision will be taken only in the next 2-3 months. If positive, we might see this roadster at the next Bologna Motor Show. It’ll be produced in Austria and it might be on sale as soon as the start of 2007, with a price of about 35,000 €. I wonder if it’ll be nearer to the Volkswagen GX3 tricycle or to the Ecoracer concept … [Via German Car Blog].
