Audi plans to produce between 50 and 100 examples on the open-top TT, but there are no plans on offering it in the UK, the U.S. or other markets outside of the Middle East. The rationale behind the decision centers on the warm climes and lack of rain in the Middle East, along with Audi's commitment to becoming a purveyor of the finest automotive wares. It's a smart move on Audi's part, but we can't help but feel slighted by the decision. Tonneau technology has certainly evolved since its original implementation in post-WWII roadsters, so we would've hoped that such a solution would be offered to enthusiasts around the world.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-tt-clubsport-quattro-spy-shots/low/">Audi TT Clubsport Quattro - spy shots</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-tt-clubsport-quattro-spy-shots/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/auditt.clubsport1.kgp.ed_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-tt-clubsport-quattro-spy-shots/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/auditt.clubsport2.kgp.ed_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-tt-clubsport-quattro-spy-shots/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/auditt.clubsport3.kgp.ed_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-tt-clubsport-quattro-spy-shots/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/auditt.clubsport4.kgp.ed_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-tt-clubsport-quattro-spy-shots/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/auditt.clubsport5.kgp.ed_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-tt-clubsport-quattro-concept/low/">Audi TT clubsport quattro concept</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-tt-clubsport-quattro-concept/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/05/ttclubsport_hi001_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-tt-clubsport-quattro-concept/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/05/ttclubsport_hi002_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-tt-clubsport-quattro-concept/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/05/ttclubsport_hi003_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-tt-clubsport-quattro-concept/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/05/ttclubsport_hi004_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/audi-tt-clubsport-quattro-concept/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/05/ttclubsport_hi005_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/News/Search-Results/Industry-News/Audi-TT-speedster-will-be-built/?&amp;R=EPI-6078">Car</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/20/audi-tt-speedster-headed-to-limited-production-for-middle-east-m/">Audi TT Speedster headed to limited-production for Middle East market</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Tue, 20 May 2008 12:28:00 EST.

Carrying Ecotec power displacing 1.2- or 1.4-liters and pushing 80 and 90 horsepower, respectively, the Corsa Limited Edition sits on a sport-tuned suspension with 17-inch rims that conceal red brake calipers. Production will be capped at 1,000 units, all of which will be Casablanca White with contrast provided by black on the roof and wheels, along with dark-tinted rear glass. <br /><br />The exterior color scheme is mirrored inside, where the three-door carries standard air conditioning and an MP3-capable audio system with an auxiliary input. The design of the Limited Edition Corsa was a joint effort, specifically employing the input of 120 trainees to help the car appeal to youthful customers. It certainly appeals to us looks-wise. If you're fortunate enough to be where you can purchase one of these cars, wad up &euro;16,000 in your hot little fist and head on down to your Opel store. <em>Translated official press release after the jump.</em><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/opel-corsa-limited-edition/low/">Opel Corsa Limited Edition</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/opel-corsa-limited-edition/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/255790_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/opel-corsa-limited-edition/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/255791_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/opel-corsa-limited-edition/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/255793_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/opel-corsa-limited-edition/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/255794_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/opel-corsa-limited-edition/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/255932_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://es.autoblog.com/2008/04/05/salon-de-leizpig-2008-opel-corsa-edition/">Autoblog Spanish</a>]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/07/leipzig-2008-opel-corsa-limited-edition-unveiled/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Leipzig 2008: Opel Corsa Limited Edition unveiled</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/07/leipzig-2008-opel-corsa-limited-edition-unveiled/">Leipzig 2008: Opel Corsa Limited Edition unveiled</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Mon, 07 Apr 2008 09:03:00 EST.
