As motoring evolution goes, cars grow bigger and sometimes leave a vacuum in a manufacturer’s line-up.

This is probably one of the main reasons for the conception of Audi's A3 cabriolet as the A4 will be replaced by a bigger A5 drop-top – which will, of course, result in a price increase too.

So, the suits at Ingolstadt hope the topless A3 will attract buyers who don’t have the cash for an A5 cabriolet or a TT roadster. Of course, the open-top A3 is a direct rival to the BMW 1 Series convertible too.

The car is instantly recognisable as an A3 derivative, sharing its styling cues with the other A3 models, the three-door hatch and five-door Sportback. Furthermore, it features the latest styling changes from the rest of the A3 range, such as redesigned head- and taillights and an upgraded interior.

Daytime running lights are standard, but the optional LEDs (at R7 650) are a "must-have" since they give the car an aggressive appearance.
