Cool Audi R4 E-Tron Roadster Concept To Debut at Paris Motor Show

from R4UM.com

We will finally get to see the R4 in convertible form at the Paris Motor Show in early October! According to a report, Audi will introduce an R4 e-Tron roadster at show.

It’s expected to be identical to the R4 Coupe E-Tron which was shown at the 2010 NAIAS, except sans fixed roof. ** http://www.r4um.com/?p=137
Should be quite a stunner. The Audi R4 coupe was already like a mini R8 so I can imagine the R4 roadster will be a mini R8 convertible Watch out BMW 135i coupe and roadster!

Most of the R4 and E tron concepts are very interesting and could be a great opportunity for Audi to provide a somewhat affordable mid engine sports car but I have a feeling the final product is not going to be very sporty to appeal much to enthusiasts or will be too small and overpriced which will kill interest. I am hoping they don't stick some heavy, expensive, complicated green powerplant in it and ruin it and they offer a high performance 4, 5, or 6 cylinder powerplant at a reasonable price with R8 like styling.
