Nope. Not quite. I upload the scans from an article in Audi driver and
also in Audicar which featured Kim Collins Cabrio S2+ Quattro. Although
he does own a major Audi tuner in the UK, thus giving him a slight
advantage - He has popped a 20v MTM-modded turbo engine into his cabrio
and *did* fit a quattro drivetrain to it after some reworking of the
rear end. 

It kicks out about 428hp, top speed of 180+ mph, 0-60 sec time = doesn't
really matter anymore, you'll warp the fabric of space and time and
destroy anything nearby when you launch this thing!

If you've see article and the photos of how he's got the thing rigged,
you'll have great difficulty not drooling!

BTW, It was not cheap. Estimates were up near UK$80k (a huge chunk of
that was actually the purchase of the engine and drivetrain, and MTM
head/turbo work)
