Audi A3 Cabriolet: Coming to Australia in July 2008

Audi Australia will launch the Audi A3 Cabriolet as soon as July 2008. Same timing for the new Audi RS6, followed by the Audi TTS later this year. Great news from down under!

In July, Audi will release its most affordable convertible, the A3 Cabriolet. The small drop-top should start at less than $60,000 and ignores the trend of folding metal roofs for conventional fabric.

Buyers will be able to choose between a semi-automatic roof and a fully automatic version. Both hydraulically operated soft-tops can be raised or lowered in nine seconds (quick for a drop-top) at the touch of a button, although the semi-auto roof requires a handle to be released. There will be a choice of 1.8- or 2.0-litre turbo petrol engines.
