The car’s braking ability to be exceptional, with no amount of abuse deterring its stopping power. As for ride quality? Well, it’s firm as you’d look forward to but given the super stiff chassis that is required to compensate for a lack of a solid roof (hence the additional weight over the Coupe and slower acceleration time).

On the go, the five-cylinder engine is a piece of music that is impossible to dislike. It crackles and pops as you’d expect, but it sounds much meaner and angrier than the four-cylinder offerings from German rival, AMG.

The strangest thing about this Audi is that It has, without fail, one of the best interiors of any car we’ve ever been in. Not in regard to what it offers or its list of features or gadgets, but just how it’s put together and how it feels to touch and operate.

In many ways, the build quality of this Audi is the best of any Audi we’ve ever been in. The fit and finish of the interior and the cabin is the peak of what we’ve seen offered from the German manufacturer. It’s lovely and Audi should be commended for it.

We very much liked the overabundance of carbon-fibre and those sport seats really set the scene of what you’re about to experience before you even get in.It’s a better car dynamically without the soft roof.
