Roding Roadster 23 Hits 62 MPH in 3.9 Seconds, Still Has Room for Skis, Helmet Meet the Roding Roadster 23. Roding is a Bavarian firm specializing in low-cost, higher-volume carbon fiber construction and engineering services, and this car is presented as a showcase of the company’s capabilities. The intriguing roadster was displayed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show and looked like an LFA nose on a sharpened MR2. The price? 205,000 euros, or about $266,000 U.S., and 10 have been sold so far!

2013 Roding Roadster 23 front trunk 2 300x187 imagePowered by a transverse-mounted turbocharged 315-hp BMW I-6, the Roding is said to be good for a 3.9-second sprint from 0-62 mph. It will allegedly keep up with a Porsche 911 GT3 around Germany’s Sachsenring race course. And even though the front end is empty of engine, it’s so long that a racer could drive the car to the track with his helmets and gear in the trunk. There’s also room for skis, and the two-panel targa roof comes off and stows in a panel under the trunk lid. Because it’s all carbon fiber, it’s pretty light.
The Roding 23 Roadster uses a six-speed manual transmission, and the lightweight sports car has customizable suspension settings. The car we saw in Geneva was the 23-car special-edition model, with many unpainted exterior panels unpainted, showing off the carbon fiber parts underneath. And instead of the yellow paint on the car pictured here, Roding will paint the rest of the Roadster in any color the customer wants.
