AUDI A3 CABRIOLET
It's been a while since the international launch of the A3 Cabriolet but it is here finally. The coupe version is slated to launch sometime later this year.

There is a new Cylinder-On Duty feature that shuts off twocylinders, when not required. There is a drop of 30bhp in power but with a claimed fuel efficiency figure of 19.20kmpl, there is not much to complain about. Torque remains the same at 250Nm.
