Chrysler CrossfireRoadster

The Chrysler Crossfire loses its roof in time for the British summer with the launch of the Roadster model.

Using the same engine and transmission options as the coupe, the Roadster has the same road presence, but the chassis has been strengthened to compensate for the lack of a fixed roof and the exhaust note has been tuned to inspire goose pimples when the top is down.

Audi S4 Cabriolet

WHEN Audi launched the elegant A4 Cabriolet, a high-performance version was not expected. But the S4 Cabriolet arrives in the UK next month with 340bhp 4.2-litre V8 and quattro permanent four-wheel drive. It joins an elite group of ragtops including the BMW M3 and Mercedes CLK55 AMG in a bid to win over drivers who like a more vigorous wind-in-the-hair sensation.
