Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible
It's capable of hitting speeds up to 202 mph, but the Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible usually can't be bothered with such undignified pursuits. Instead, it prefers to cruise effortlessly at speeds where its curves can be best appreciated by all around.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster
How would James Bond spend a sunny day? Well, he'd spend it saving the world from behind the wheel of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster.

Volkswagen Beetle Convertible
The performance was good; the aesthetics were stylish; but my favorite part of the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible was casually cruising the countryside with the Fender audio system faithfully reproducing my favorite jams.

Antuan Goodwin Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4x4
I'll bet you didn't see this one coming. The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4x4 is available with a variety of roof options, including hard and soft variants that peel back easily to reveal the sky above. Maybe it's a stretch to consider this mountain goat a convertible, but I love it, so I'm counting it.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse
It's the fastest car to pass through the Car Tech garage and, at a lofty $2.25M, it's also the most expensive. On the other hand, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse isn't very good at being a convertible, requiring two people and a bit of forethought and planning to go from hardtop to open sky.
