See the exterior and interior of the 2001 Audi TT Quattro Roadster, BMW M Roadster, Mercedes-Benz SLK320, and Porsche Boxster.
At the dawn of the new millennium, we gathered a quartet of German sports cars to find the best Y2K-era roadster.
The Audi TT was judged the most stylish outside.
And these "baseball leather" seats helped make the TT the most stylish inside.
The TT was powered by a turbocharged 225-hp four.
The BMW M Roadster has the most classic proportions.
The BMW M Roadster interior.
The BMW had a 240-hp straight-six under its hood.
The 2001 Mercedes-Benz SLK had undergone substantive changes since its launch a few years earlier, even if it looked no different.
These Benz seats were deemed more comfortable than those in earlier models, and that shifter stirs a six-speed gearbox, replacing an earlier five-speed.
The biggest change was under the hood, where a 215-hp V-6 stepped in for the previous supercharged four.
The Porsche Boxster was the only mid-engine car in the group.
The Boxster's interior was basic compared to the others'.
