For a Roadster with a curb weight of only 2,090 lbs, we expect performance to be equally as impressive as its aggressive styling. We have heard a claimed 0-62 mph sprint of a hair-drying 3.9 seconds. The Artega GT Roadster runs on a Volkswagen-sourced 3.6-liter V6 rated at 295hp and coupled with a six-speed DSG. Maximum performance is a rumored top speed of 167 mph. The Roadster looks almost identical to its hard-top counterpart, however it features a slick removable panoramic glass roof. The roof fits in the trunk for easy storage.
