It didn’t take Audi long at all. The venerable automaker has taken the wraps off the new TT… and taken the top off it as well.

It’s the TT Roadster convertible, with a cloth top and an optional dual-clutch S-tronic gearbox system. That idea of choice extends to the engine as well, with drivers able to take either a 3.2-litre V6 power unit or a 2.0 TSFI model with direct injection. Both models also come with an option for suspension dampening, for an even smoother ride.

The TT Roadster is a bit larger than its predecessor, but the company insists that the extra drag isn’t that significant. And that remove-it-yourself cloth top comes in black or dark grey.

Look for this new Audi next spring, with a price tag reading upwards of US$42,300.
