Audi KTM roadster (must see)

Hott damn, isn't it gorgeous?!? But i doubt an Audi will ever have the ability to be "light weight."

Audi plans to build a "baby" TT that will challenge the Lotus Elise, according to AutoExpress magazine. The lightweight roadster is expected to be shown before the end of the year, the report says. It is being built with the help of KTM, an Austrian motorcycle maker. KTM first contacted parent company Volkswagen about building a roadster, but since VW was already developing the GX3, the KTM proposal was shifted to Audi. The possibility of a KTM-Audi partnership was first revealed in January. A car is actually under development. KTM is reportedly delegating such tasks as sourcing a carbon fibre chassis from other motorsports partners. The car is expected to have similarities to the VW EcoRacer Concept (link below). It will weigh around 1,600 pounds and get about 50 mpg, AE reckons. It should have a sub-six-second 0-60 time.
