Best Convertible Car Models

The Mini Cooper Convertible is the most-affordable car you can buy in India without a roof. Mini Cooper models, in general, offer go-kart-like driving fun. The compact package and the peppy BMW-sourced 2.0-litre TwinPower turbocharged petrol engine makes the Cooper Convertible quite a nimble performer. The Mini Cooper Convertible also looks good and has got some quirky styling bits, both on the exterior and the interiors.

The Porsche 718 Boxster is probably the best open-top performer in its segment. Globally, the smaller Porsche sportscar is available in three trims: Boxster, Boxster S and the top-of-the-line Boxster GTS. The Porsche 718 Boxster is named after the brand’s legendary racing car built between 1957 and 1962. The mid-engine layout is capable of so much that Porsche experts claim that if given the essentials, the 718 twins (Boxster and Cayman) can outrun the 911 models.

The Jaguar F-Type is arguably the best-looking product that has been designed by Ian Callum – Head of Design at Jaguar. The F-Type features a design having a balance between sportiness and elegance. In India, the performance-focussed Jaguar is available in seven variants, out of which three are convertibles: S Convertible, R Convertible and SVR Convertible. The Jaguar F-Type is powered by a V6 or a V8. There is also a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged Ingenium petrol engine.

The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT, the successor to the iconic SLS AMG, is available in convertible formats too. In India, we get only the Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster while there is the GTS Roadster and the GTC Roadster in global markets. The top-of-the-line AMG GTR has also got a Roadster version planned. The AMG GT Roadster is powered by a 4.0-litre biturbo V8 engine which powers the rear-wheels. It is also one of the best-sounding convertibles you can buy.

The Lamborghini Huracan is the successor to the iconic Gallardo. The convertible or Spyder versions of the Huracan is available in both rear-wheel-drive (LP 580-2) and all-wheel-drive (LP 640-4) variants. Being a Lamborghini, there is no compromise on looks or sound either. The Huracan lineup is also the first Lamborghini to get a dual-clutch transmission and offers a more-manageable power delivery.
