Audi has blown its top. Hot on the heels of the 200mph Le Mans quattro coupé comes an equally outrageous cabriolet, due to make its debut at this month's Tokyo Motor Show.

Insiders have told Auto Express the project is well advanced, and that the car will use the same 610bhp 5.0-litre turbocharged V10 that appeared in the Frankfurt expo car last month.

Featuring all-wheel drive, the wild machine is charged with becoming the fastest cabriolet in the world, an honour currently held by Porsche's 911 Turbo. The Audi can sprint from 0-60mph in only 3.7 seconds, and the top speed will be limited to 155mph. Even so, our source revealed the firm is working on a special roof system to cope with the huge loads placed upon it at such high speeds. Inside, the drop-top will offer a digital dashboard and sequential six-ratio gearbox. The car's adaptable suspension will also be adjustable from switches on the steering wheel.

Although there's no official word on whether the cabrio will make production, our sources say it's already been rubber-stamped and will appear after the coupé. Based on the Lamborghini Gallardo chassis, the car's bodywork is likely to include aluminium and composite panels. The cabriolet Le Mans will also preview technology expected to be used in the convertible Lambo, due to be unveiled next year.
