A close buddy of Carscoop -and hopefully, a team member from next year, revealed to us today that Audi will take the wraps off the highly anticipated 2008 A3 Cabriolet next week (end of November, 2007). As you can see from the spy shot that we discovered on flickr (see our previous post), just like the BMW 1-Series Convertible (click here), the A3 Cabriolet will be equipped with an electric folding canvas roof.

The drop top A3 will use the same running gear as the 3door & 5door hatch versions, meaning that aside from the 125 Hp 1.4 TSi, 160 Hp 1.8 TSi & 200 Hp 2.0 TFSi petrol units, we may very well see a top-of-the-range S3 model powered by the 265 Hp 2.0-litre TFSi unit. We’ll have all the official (and unofficial…) details on the A3 Cabriolet next week.
