Audi TT Roadster 2.0 TFSI.
The big news is obviously the fact that the roof has gone, replaced by a new fabric hood. Where everyone is currently obsessing over foldaway tin-tops, the TT has stuck with a fabric hood that unzips neatly - the front section of which forms the uppermost rear deck of the car. It's simple, elegant and trustworthy.
The new 'Z-fold' arrangement means that the origami isn't that complex - imagine flattening or extending a 'Z' shape - and it only requires a couple of flaps to drop over a hinge or two and it's stowed without any oily bits poking out.
