2011 Audi S5 Cabriolet

Some cars are built for the destination; the S5 Cabriolet is built for the drive there. Under the hood sits a supercharged 3.0-litre V6 driving all four wheels through Audi’s quattro system, so the power lands cleanly whether you’re carving the Gallatin canyon or cruising into town with the top folded away. It’s quick enough to be genuinely fun and refined enough to do it all day.

This is the car to take over the Beartooth Pass, run down to Big Sky, or simply arrive somewhere in style. Four seats, a proper folding soft top, and the kind of unfussy German competence that makes a long day behind the wheel feel like no effort at all.
