For all of us who saw and fell in love with the E-Tron concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, we may be in for quite a welcome surprise. While it’s not yet confirmed, it is rumored that Audi will soon be launching a new entry-level sports car based on the much hyped E-Tron concept. The car, speculated to be named the R4, would go on sale in 2013 and would slot in just underneath the TT with a price tag of about $27,000.

As for the specs, the Audi R4 is expected to weigh no more than 2,500 pounds and will have either a 1.4 liter TSI engine that produces 180 horsepower or a 2.0 liter inline-four, similar to the one in the Audi TT, that produces 170 horsepower.

Of course, all of this is still just speculation (thanks TopSpeed), but if it comes true then the market for entry-level sports cars will be in for quite an overhaul. An Audi sports car based on the E-Tron for under $30k is just what we’ve been waiting for.
