The Top 6 Sexiest Supercar Convertibles Right Now

Ferrari’s 488 Spider is the latest ingenuity by the renowned Italian marque. It’s touted as the most robust mid-rear-engine car to rock a retractable hardtop.

The proof is in the numbers, and they’re jaw-dropping: zero to 62 mph in a burning three seconds, and it gets to 124 mph in just under nine seconds. It’s powered by the same roaring 3.9-liter turbocharged V8 found in the Ferrari 488 GTB. While the power is comparable (the Spider is slightly quicker), it has reduced emissions for a more economical drive.

Innovation is found throughout the Spider, from the 14-second retractable hardtop roof, to the car’s open-air aerodynamics. The chassis is comprised of 11 aluminum alloys and metals, which is a more rigid and stiff base. This gamebreaking chassis, along with he company’s SSC2 Side Slip Angle Control System, creates greater downforce for a 12 percent increase in acceleration around corners and reduced drag.

The 488 Spider stats at $275,000.

The 657LT Spider made its anticipated debut in December, and was everything we hoped for. The fastest convertible the British company has ever produced, the 666-hp terror possesses a revised 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 that launches the supercar to a rocket-like zero to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds, and a warp-speed top-end of 203 mph.

McLaren is a fusion of the heralded 1997 F1 GTR “Longtail” racecar, which finished second and third overall at that year’s iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the 675LT Coupe. It rocks a quality carbon fiber chassis, as well as a plethora of other carbon fiber parts. This keeps the 675LT Spider at a lean 2,800 lbs, 220 lbs lighter than McLaren’s 650S Spider.

McLaren is limiting production to just 500 examples of the 675LT Spider, starting at $372,600.

Another car that debuted in the winter, the Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 Spyder is the convertible version of the wicked Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 Coupe.

The heart of the Spyder remains the same as its Coupe cousin; a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter, 610-hp V10 and seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox. Thanks to the monster mechanics, the Spyder sprints from zero to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds, and has a top speed of 201 mph.

The Spyder has supreme handling for tight maneuvers from a combination of the featherweight chassis, electronically controlled all-wheel drive, and aerodynamic spoiler and diffuser.

Even the droptop mechanisms are innovative. The soft top is controlled by hydraulics, allowing access to the open air in 17 seconds, and while the car is in motion (up to 31 mph). And when the top comes down, Star Wars-like fins rise from the car’s rear for improved aerodynamics to optimize airflow through the engine compartment.

The awesome supercar convertible starts at about $211,000.

The definition of power and performance, Porshe’s 911 Targa 4S is an improved all-wheel-drive model of the company’s most coveted convertibles. It features a new engine, revised chassis, and customizable driving modes, somehow making the Targa even more desirable.

Porsche’s new 3.0-liter, twin-turbo flat-six engine outputs 420 hp, hurtling the supercar from zero to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. The Targa tops out at two shades under 190 mph, with a seven-speed manual transmission as its standard translation of power.

The Targa features an optional Sport Chrono Package (with Normal, Sport, Sport Plus, and Individual driving modes) for improved performance. The mode switch is accessibly located near the wheel, making it a cinch to enable Sport Response Button, allowing for max acceleration for upwards of 20 seconds.

The new Porsche 911 Targa 4S goes for a fair $122,600.

Full disclosure: the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider has nowhere near the prestige or promise of the high-end Ferraris or Lambos featured on this list. But it holds its own as an awesome droptop for summertime cruising.

Based on the mid-engine 33 Stradale of the late 1960s, the aesthetics include classic proportions and a plunging V-shaped front grille that has defined the Alfa Romeos for years.

The car’s performance isn’t anything to get too excited about – it manages only 237 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Don’t let that turn you off the Romeo 4C, because the car is light, so the car feels faster than those numbers suggest. It still has top-notch handling and steering that lets drivers feel connected to any road they venture on.

This could be the finest, most driver-friendly GT of this generation. The Ferrari California T is the pinnacle of grand touring automobiles, it’s a car that practically drives itself.

Ferrari’s California T is the first supercar since the legendary F40 from the 1980s to feature a turbocharged engine. The twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 produces 553 hp, with a scorching top speed of 196 mph. It also has a wealth of technologies derived from Ferrari’s Formula 1 racing team, including electromagnetic shock absorbers and a silky seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The $199,000 price tag also makes it the cheapest entry into the Ferrari family. While the California T is quieter and more domesticated than other Ferrari beasts, it doesn’t get much better than this for first-time Ferrari owners and daily driving excursions.
