Convertible

If you're going on a self-propelled river journey, is it really self-propelled if someone drives you back when you're done? Perhaps not – and that's why inventor Ben Kilner created a paddleboard/bike-and-trailer combo known as the Duckleberry Finn.

The new Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster becomes the latest contender in the race to a 300-mph speed record. The 1,817-hp Roadster is just as ready to navigate its way to 300 as the Venom F5 Coupe, only with a little more noise and breeze in the cabin.

Buoyed by positive feedback on the spunky O2 electric roadster concept it unveiled in March, Polestar confirmed today that this high-performance electric convertible is headed to production as the Polestar 6, slated to hit showrooms around 2026.

Designed as an homage to vintage Aston Martin race cars and a 10th anniversary celebration of Aston Martin's customization arm Q, the all-new DBR22 wears coachbuilt carbon bodywork over top a 5.2-liter V12 powertrain and 3D-printed rear subframe.

Born in 2020, the Maserati MC20 reminds us that light shines even in the darkest times. And in this case, that light gives new life, leading to the much-anticipated convertible MC20 Cielo, a butterfly-doored spyder with electrochromic roof.

Back in 2018 we told you about the iEV X, a tiny electric car that could stretch from a single- to two-seater configuration – and then some. Well, it's now been replaced by a new-and-improved model, called the iEV Z.

We've recently seen a number of devices that can be added to bikes, that help keep the rider dry in the rain. A new ebike known as the AllWeatherBike, however, doesn't need any add-ons – its "roof" can reportedly be pulled up in just three seconds.

Back in 2016, Aston Martin unveiled its outrageous Valkyrie hypercar. The British automaker has now given it a removable roof, the result being "the fastest and most extreme open-top, road-legal Aston Martin ever built."

Not willing to wait for the Tesla Roadster, one car enthusiast demanded a Tesla convertible, immediately. Ares Design was more than happy to take on the challenge. Slicing the roof and rear doors off, it turned sedan into Model S convertible.

Ferrari has built a new home for the 3.8-liter biturbo V8 that's won the last four Engine of the Year awards and counting. The Portofino M is a 620-horsepower evolution on the "entry-level" convertible released back in 2017.

Porsche is pushing forward with its 911 turbocharging campaign of 2020. Following up on the Turbo S debut in April, it has dialed things back just a little with a base Turbo Coupe and Cabriolet that deliver supercar-grade acceleration for less price.
