Before you get to excited about these spy shots we have to tell you that despite similarities you are not looking at a production version of the Audi e-tron Spyder Concept. This is in fact The Roding - a two seat mid-engine sports car developed by a small German car manufacture called Roding Automobile.
A Roding prototype has been caught testing for the first time last year, but that was one of the ugliest cars ever. It seems that Roding understood that if they want to "set new standards in the roadster segment" they have to change things significantly. And they did!
The new Roading Roadster will be featuring a carbon fiber chassis and a powerful turbo charged engine. Maximum performance and driving dynamics are achieved through consequent lightweight construction, and a state of the art six cylinder turbocharged engine with an impressive output of 300 HP and 295 pound-feet of torque. The engine will be mated to a six-speed manual transmission which sends the power to the rear wheels.
The official presentation will be held at the end of this year, with first delivery set to begin in 2012. There will be only 23 units built.
