Contemporary Roadsters

Contemporary Roadsters

By:


Roadsters have always been synonymous with championship racing. These two-seat open vehicles with an emphasis on sporty handling and retractable hard-tops have been a firm favourite with motorists looking for an exhilarating driving experience.

The contemporary roadster combines power and handling with the latest in automotive innovation and luxurious style to create a sport convertible that is the envy of all previous generations.

Dynamic Power

Fuel-injected turbo-charged engines are the core of what sets the contemporary roadster apart. It is a powerful drive that can be felt as soon as the vehicle accelerates.

The combination of petrol direct injection with turbo charging provides more pulling power from less fuel, making the luxury roadster a far more economical drive while still being able to get from 0 to 100 km/h in under eight seconds.

With one press of a sports button, the electromechanical power steering in a luxury roadster becomes more dynamic and the throttle response even more spontaneous. Drivers will immediately feel the results as their sports convertible becomes more agile and produces an even more vibrant engine sound.

Innovative Driving Technologies

The contemporary luxury roadster incorporates a range of innovative driving technologies bringing an increase in performance and handling as well as an overall superior driving experience to the sports convertible.

Faster gear shifts and sportier driving are the hallmarks of the innovative gearbox design in contemporary roadsters, combining the sport characteristics of a manual gearbox with the advantages of an automatic.

Gear-changes with the dual clutch gearbox are performed easily with no delay and depending on the driver's preference; the gears may be shifted to fully automatic or manual mode using the gearshift paddles on the steering wheel.

Permanent four wheel drive provides permanent power to all four wheels distributed between front and rear axles leading to a low power requirement with very well balanced handling.

Engineered with a Lighter Touch

The modern day sports convertible is now being engineered to be lighter than ever. These luxury roadsters come with high-strength aluminium frames. These aluminium bodies are noted for their exceptional rigidity, resulting in greater all-round protection and a substantially lower weight.

The advantages for the driver become obvious as greater safety, increased performance and improved handling now enjoys the benefit of lower fuel consumption and an increased ease of repair.

Superb Luxury

Luxury cabriolets offer a new dimension in listening pleasure as sound systems are specially developed for the acoustic environment of the vehicle interior. This offers a magnificent sound experience on all seats as well as unsurpassed sound quality achieving a natural, clear sound and an authentic music experience.

A fully automatic acoustic hood not only offers exceptional sound and heat insulation, but is also outstandingly easy to use and gives luxury roadsters that classic sophisticated look. With its electric lock and release function, these hoods open in a matter of seconds.

Leather gives a sportier look and seat upholstery in fine leather with moccasin seams and coloured stitching only add to the luxurious experience of the contemporary luxury roadster.
