roadster
Open sports car
A roadster is an open two-seat automobile, typically sporty and low-slung, with minimal weather protection: He bought a vintage roadster for weekend drives.
The term evokes classic motoring—wind in your hair, no roof, pure driving pleasure.
Modern usage sometimes extends to any small convertible sports car.
