The new S3 Cabriolet is lowered by 25mm and can be distinguished by the aerodynamics package – new front and rear bumpers. There are also aluminum mirror housings, a chromed windscreen surround and soft-top in three different colors. The last can be opened or closed in 18 seconds at speeds of up to 50 km/h (31 mph). The luggage compartment is decent – 285 liters.

Other highlights include a set of 18" alloy wheels fitted with 225/40 R18 tires. There is also an option for huge 19" rims. The exterior can be finished in twelve different colors.

The interior boasts Pearl Nappa leather and fabric, but according to customer's taste, it can be upholstered in various types of Alcantara, Pearl Nappa leather or Fine Nappa leather with contrasting stitching. There are also S-sport seats with built-in head restraints and shoulder panels with diamond stitching.

Last, but not least is the huge brake system including 340mm brake discs with black calipers for the front.

The price of this bijou is "just" €48,500.
