Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Audi TT 8N Roadster arrives in red, capturing the open-top version of Audi's circular design breakthrough. A folding soft top and the same rounded surfaces as the coupe give this variant its own place in a TT or convertible collection.
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Audi TT 8N Roadster reproduces the open-top variant in red. Launched shortly after the coupe, the Roadster carried the same rounded, circular design language with a folding soft top, giving TT collectors a distinct body style within the same generation.
The Roadster followed the coupe to market within a year, and rather than compromise the TT's rounded design language for an open top, Audi kept the same circular surfacing and simply folded a soft top into the tail.
Capturing the Roadster's Open-Top Silhouette
Without the coupe's domed roofline, the Roadster reads as a shorter, more compact shape, and Minichamps reproduces the folded soft top's stowed profile behind the seats accurately rather than smoothing it into a generic convertible tonneau. The red paint carries the same even depth across the rounded rear haunches and door surfaces as the coupe version, and the windscreen frame, more exposed without a roofline above it, holds crisp, consistent lines. The Roadster's proportions differ subtly from the coupe's despite sharing the same underlying platform, with a slightly different visual balance once the fixed roof disappears, and getting that balance right in miniature depends on proportioning the folded top and rear deck correctly rather than simply removing a roof panel from the coupe tooling.
A Distinct Body Style Within the Same TT Generation
For collectors already holding a coupe 8N, the Roadster offers a genuinely different body style rather than just an alternative colour, since the two versions have real proportional differences beyond the obvious roof treatment. Audi built the Roadster as a serious sales proposition rather than a limited afterthought, and it sold alongside the coupe for the entirety of the first-generation TT's production run. Displayed together, coupe and Roadster make a coherent pair that shows the full range Audi offered from this single design breakthrough, and this red example adds visual variety against a more common silver or black coupe on the same shelf.
