A roadster is a two-seat convertible car designed without a fixed roof or side weather protection in its traditional form. In auto manufacturing, it denotes a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive sports car built for handling and open-air driving rather than practicality or comfort. Historic versions often featured fold-down rumble seats, while current designs use folding soft tops or removable hardtops.
