When closed it melds harmoniously into the design line - it ends in two slim fins that extend toward the rear and have a contour similar to that of the Audi R8 Coupé hard top. The soft top's approximate weight is a mere 42 kilograms (92.59 lb); it thus keeps the vehicle's total weight and center of gravity low. The Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro sports a cloth soft top in classic Audi style. The rear side panels and the large cover over the storage compartment for the cloth top are made of a carbon fiber composite.
