I read in MotorTrend that the Audi R1 is 100% ready for production… Has anyone been able to find any info on it? I know it is based on the new VW BlueSport and will likely be using the 2.0T or the 1.4 TwinCharged engine and the 7-Speed DSG . I’m just interested in seeing the styling. This is the VW Blue Sport… ![http://www.autospies.com/images/users/tryme/main/vw-bluesport-concept-3.jpg](http://www.autospies.com/images/users/tryme/main/vw-bluesport-concept-3.jpg) ![http://4wheelsnews.com/images/2009/january/vw/concept-bluesport/vw-bluesport-concept-4.jpg](http://4wheelsnews.com/images/2009/january/vw/concept-bluesport/vw-bluesport-concept-4.jpg) ![http://4wheelsnews.com/images/2009/january/vw/concept-bluesport/vw-bluesport-concept-12.jpg](http://4wheelsnews.com/images/2009/january/vw/concept-bluesport/vw-bluesport-concept-12.jpg) ---
