B it is particularly exclusive to make the Roding Roadster 23 the complete exterior cladding in carbon fiber as well the high-performance braking system and the adjustable chassis components.

With 300 PS 280 km /h fast

With the carbon look, the two-seater Roding Roadster shares the technology with the normal version. The passenger cell is made of carbon fiber laminate and integrates a roll-over structure. The front and rear end are made of a carbon-aluminum hybrid construction. The drive unit sits as a central motor behind the passengers and drives the rear wheels. Two removable roof shells, which can be stowed under the front hood, transform the two-seater from a coupé into a convertible. Alternatively, the storage space with a volume of 220 liters and a through-loading option also swallows objects up to 1.80 meters long or a golf bag.

Consistent lightweight construction reduces the weight of the 3.82 meter long and 1.85 meter wide and only 1.19 meters high Roding Roadster at 920 kilograms. Combined with a six-cylinder turbo gasoline engine with over 300 hp, this results in a power-to-weight ratio of less than three kilograms per hp. The approximately 400 Nm of torque are distributed to the rear wheels by a manual six-speed gearbox and a limited-slip differential. In the best case scenario, the Roding Roadster storms from zero to 100 km /h in 3.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 280 km /h. The Euro 5 engine consumes an average of 8.2 liters of Super Plus.
