Roadster

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004889

An open-top car with two seats and a sporty character, emphasizing driving enjoyment. Historically, roadsters had minimal weather protection, but modern versions feature fully retractable hard or soft tops. Unlike a cabriolet, which is a convertible version of a sedan or coupe, a roadster is designed from the outset as a dedicated two-seat sports car.
