2012 Audi A5
Few convertibles meld style, refinement and performance into one package as beautifully as the Audi A5 Cabriolet, said kbb.com editors. As the only car in its class to offer quattro® all-wheel drive, the A5 Cabriolet is a progressive take on top-down driving. The award-winning 2.0 TFSI engine provides 211 hp and 258 lb-ft. of torque and combines Audi valvelift system, variable valve timing and TFSI® direct injection.
Derived from the A5 Coupe, the A5 Cabriolet’s evocative shape demands attention with an Aluminum Optic trimmed windshield frame and elegant 18″ wheels. The Audi acoustic soft top offers significant wind and road noise reduction and retracts in 15 seconds – the fastest in its segment. With rear folding seats, twelve-way power adjustable front seats and an overall open design, the A5 Cabriolet offers plenty of room for four adults.
2012 Audi TT Roadster
The unmistakable profile of the Audi TT Roadster is complemented by the unique rear diffuser with dual exhaust. The combination adds an aggressive and exclusive look to the vehicle.
Constructed of lightweight aluminum and steel, the power folding acoustic soft top can be opened or closed with the touch of a button. Closing the folding soft top takes only twelve seconds and can be closed at speeds under 31 MPH for added convenience.
The TT Roadster not only offers standout styling and performance, it also delivers 23 MPG city and 31 MPG highway fuel economy.
The 2.0T engine employs a variation of FSI called TFSI®. TFSI-equipped engines take advantage of significantly higher compression ratios and cylinder pressure, thus fully atomizing fuel and optimizing boost response.
