• The Ultimate Convertible

Vanquish Volante

Lets start off with the jawdropping and breathtaking beauty that has been revealed this week, the elegant Aston Martin Vanquish Volante. Pronouced with the best possible posh accent, because this baby doesn’t come cheap. Hitting dealers early next year with a starting price that will set you back a mere 300K ($297,995). In return you get worlds first full carbonfiber Aston Martin Volante, a traditional soft-top , lots of leather and the 565 horsepower V12 from the Vanquish coupe. Wow!

So you’ve seen utmost beauty, but what about pure driving pleasure? Indeed, it’s the reliable and definitive answer to  performance for every day of the week, the Porsche 991 Turbo. Familiar looks, heaps of power and equipped with modern technology. Porsche still has to lift the covers from their superconvertible later this year and will feature that same fancy fabric hardtop from the base 911 convertible. Lurking beneath that sexy rear end, is a 3.8-litre flat six engine which produces 552bhp pushing a claimed figure for 0-60 of 3.1 seconds. Making it one of the world’s fastest convertibles and the fastest open-top 911 ever to ride the Earth.

When it comes to raw brutality, nothing matches the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster. This car isn’t about subtlety or precise steering, it’s about smashing the back of your head into the headrest with crazy fury and mad upshifts, coupled with a high RPM orchestra composed by the 6.4-liter V12 engine sitting right begin that headrest. Just 2,9 seconds, and you’ll hit a 100 kp/h.  With the matching sharp spaceship looks, this automobile will be the center of attention just anywhere you take it!

As time moves forward, Ferrari will continue to impress, and they have done just that with the £250,000 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. With a thick end of 730 bhp, this Ferrari is powerful enough to launch itself to 100 kph in 3 seconds and hitting a top speed of up to 335 kph. The F12 is on sale for over a year now, so it’s just going to be a matter of time to see a roofless version for conquering the summer. Makes you wonder, what kind of roof will it have?…and what will they name it?..
