Few convertibles make me happy. Usually I find them to a useless departure from their far superior coupe sibling. However, Nissan has done what few others have, make a convertible that's better than the coupe.
Here is the new 2010 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible. This car is VIN #5 and was built the week of the April 20th. The Corvette features a Cyber Gray exterior with the new chrome Grand Sport wheels. This GS doesn't have the Z15 RPO Heritage Package which includes the fender hash mark graphics and embroiderd "Grand Sport" on the seats. Instead it has the new 0B1 Crossed Flags headrest embroidery.

This exact Silver Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport 10-143 was at Pebble Beach during Monterey car week during August 2009. While in Pebble beach I was able to photograph White Bugatti Veyron Grandsport 10-144.c
Back in May we revealed the Corvette Dream Giveaway raffle to benefit the Kids Wish Network was pairing a unique 1 of 1 Hero Edition Corvette ZR1 with a classic 1967 Corvette Convertible that will be given away to one lucky winner on Christmas day. While the focus on that blog post was the special edition Corvette ZR1, we thought it appropriate to take a closer look at the big block Sting Ray that will also be given away to help make a child's dream come true
The 370Z convertible made it’s debut this week’s at the New York Auto Show. The show will also mark the debut of the US version of the Nismo 370Z S-Tune (Anthony photographed the Japanese S-Tune at the Tokyo Auto Salon back in January!)
This custom maroon/black 1967 Corvette sure has a lot going for it. Celebrity ownership by an A-list Hollywood actor is just one of the reasons why we tuned to SPEED tonight. This numbers matching 427/435 horsepower L71 Corvette Convertible has all the options of the iconic 1967 sting ray: Convertible body, stinger hood, sidepipes and knock-offs. That's why it fetched $150,000 at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Las Vegas.
Insiders at Audi have confirmed production of the R8 Convertible, probably to be released in 2011. The R8 Cabriolet (hopefully called a Spyder instead,) will most likely forgo the retractable hardtop, and instead use a fabric roof. We assume this because of the limited space in the rear from the R8’s mid-mounted engine, and from Audi’s previous use of fabric tops.
Recent Porsche Panamera headlines strongly suggest that Porsche will be producing a 2 door, 4 seat Panamera Convertivle! “We have a broad range of 14 derivatives of the 911 that are very successful,” development chief Wolfgang Duerheimer told Automobilwoche.
Popular Ferrari runer Novitec Rosso, as expected, just got their hands on the new Ferrari California. They’ve applied their usual touches to it, focusing on both style and performance, though the changes to the California are a bit more subtle than their usual “HEY LOOK AT ME!” design style.
Action movie hero Bruce Willis is taking three cars to Las Vegas next weekend where they will be sold at no reserve at the Barrett-Jackson collector car auction at Mandalay Bay. Included in the collection is a 1967 Corvette Convertible equipped with a 427/435 Tri-Power L71 V8.
Here is a Velocity Yellow Corvette ZR1 that has gone topless. The pics were posted to Twitter, but I have no background info on the car or the conversion process. Obviously, the 638-hp Chevy supercar was on display at a car show somewhere. If you have any details, please share!
Maserati officials have confirmed the convertible version of the GranTurismo coupe will arrive in showrooms by March of next year and these new renderings give us a good indication as to what the final styling may look like with the top down.

Who doesn’t enjoy feeling the crisp, fresh morning air with the wind running freely through their hair? Convertibles have become a very desirable option for thousands of drivers across the country, especially those who live in warmer climates year round.
the number of convertibles will be limited to mere 50 units, all of them produced with exclusive Ruby Black exterior finish and gorgeous Piano Black interior trim elements so it's not only about money you have on your bank account, it's also about some healthy dose of luck.
Audi’s e-Tron Electric Supercar Concept made a big splash at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show, and as a result, Audi has plans to move forward with their plans to build electric cars. The first car to be built is a sort of “mini-R8″ roadster supercar to compete with the Tesla Roadster called the R4.
Any day that you’re invited to drive a new Ferrari is a good day. Sadly, this particular Saturday morning was cold and rainy - a general recipe for miserable. We weren’t going to let that ruin our time though; we’ve been waiting to get into the new Ferrari California for months now, so I wasn’t about to pass on the chance to drive it.
Why it’s one of our most significant: The 2008 3-series is BMW’s first retractable hard top. Depending on the extent of your past experiences with the brand, this may be a smart step forward or the first sign of the apocalypse.
Surely you’ve heard about the Pagani Zonda - the Italian ultra-supercar a step above Ferrari and Lamborghini’s finest machines. Pagani decided that the regular Zonda wasn’t crazy or exclusive enough, and created the Zonda Cinque - an ultra-rare supercar made with no compromises. Now there's a Roadster edition...
The 1964 Corvette Sting Ray has always been the step-child of the mid-year C2 Corvette generation. Combine that fact with a non-original motor and a color combination that wasn't the most popular and you have all the makings of a lackluster auction. However, this is Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas and that can only mean that this recently restored 1964 Saddle Tan Corvette performed well on the auction block.
Few cars truly shock onlookers and leave them in awe. Sure, Ferraris and Lamborginis get hearts racing, but there is another segment that really makes people stare and envy those who piloted these handmade crafts.
I’m talking about Bentleys...
It was Harley Earl that envisioned the idea of a two-seater sports car in the early 50's and that idea culminated with the unveiling of the Corvette at the 1953 Motorama Show in New York. Harley retired in 1958 but stayed connected to General Motors as an automotive consultant. In 1963, the corporation honored his service with the gift of a personalized 1963 Corvette Sting Ray Roadster that matched another ’63 Corvette built for Chicago Auto Show.
It's difficult to dispute the notion that in winemaking, handcrafted artisanal production tends to yield a finer, more complex wine. Similarly, when one gets behind the wheel of the 2010 Jaguar XKR, the craftsmanship and care are more than apparent.
The new BMW E92 hardtop 3er still has its paint wet but German super-tuner Hamann has already presented its own personalization program for those thinking that their shiny new Bimmer is not exclusive enough.
