Roadster

Two-seat open car

A roadster is an open two-seat car, typically sporty and low-slung, with minimal weather protection.

The term originally described horse-drawn vehicles and early automobiles designed for road use rather than racing.

Modern roadsters emphasize driving pleasure over practicality: She bought a little roadster for weekend drives along the coast.

The word sometimes applies to motorcycles or bicycles built for road travel.
