VW delays roadster concept debut

Volkswagen has said that its mid-engine roadster concept will be unveiled at January's Detroit show, rather than in LA later this month.

The roadster concept, which will reportedly take its styling cues from the production Scirocco sports coupe, previews a production car that Volkswagen plans to launch in 2011.

This halo car will, according to reports, be based on a version of Audi's R8 platform.

According to Automotive News, the concept's reveal has been delayed because the manufacturer felt the car would attract more attention at the Detroit show than it would at the smaller Los Angeles show.
