These models dropped the 80 name and were simply known as Audi Coup and Audi Cabriolet. The first series Cabriolet was produced from 1991 until 2002, during which time it underwent an intensive revamrogramme. The second series Audi A4 Cabriolet (Type 8H) derived from the Audi A4 became available from April 2002 nearly two years after the demise of Audis previous cabriolet. The Audi A4 became an instant hit, offering a blend of immaculate open top design, along with super performance and comfort. The Audi A3 Cabrio arrived on the scene in 2007 as Audis first ever compact cabriolet. There is also an Audi S3 version of the Cabriolet.
