Audi has apparently confirmed that a limited run of TT Speedsters will be built for the Middle East market.
The firm is planning on creating 50 to 100 of the chopped TT after testing took place in southern Germany, reports Car Online.
Audi's marketing director for the Middle East, Bernd Rosenbichler, said the small production run was being planned only for hotter climates.
'We have been asked [by Audi AG] if we could imagine bringing this car here,' he said.
'We are planning on making the worldwide premiere of this car here and then launching it just for the region.'
The car will be very similar to the 2007 TT Clubsport Quattro concept, with a wraparound windscreen lip and a strictly two-seater cabin.
It is thought that a launch in the Middle East will help to give the carmaker an image boost in the region.
