Gate-crashing into the limelight currently enjoyed by the R8 supercar, this TT with a difference is called the Clubsport quattro, and is powered by a 2.0-litre 260bhp turbocharged engine.

Based on a stripped down TT Roadster, the car has no windscreen surround, and no hood. Instead, driver and passenger are protected from the elements by a wraparound glass screen.
