20 greatest roofless supercars

The whole point of a supercar is to be truly "super", that is, to offer the maximum possible in terms of road behavior, torsional resistance and power density. Then why would you make such a car less stable and heavy by removing the roof from it? Yet many customers want this, and in these price segments, customer desire is the law. Here are 20 similar models selected by R&T with the lowest risk.

Lexus LFA Spyder

The Japanese never released a standard version of their first and final convertible supercar. However, there is a prototype LFA Spyder equipped with a remarkable V10 engine. Jay Leno even managed to get it for a car show. The rest can only imagine how this bike sounds in nature.

Mercedes-AMG GT R Roadster

Common sense tells us that it doesn't make much sense to remove the roof from the tracked version; it reduces the strength of the chassis and increases the weight. But we have to admit that the 4-liter V8 sounds much better when there is no roof between it and the ears.

Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster

What could be better than a supercar with a V12 engine, similar to the fighter of the future? There is, of course, a V12 supercar that looks like the fighter of the future and has no roof. The SVJ Roadster weighs 55 kg more than the standard car and is unlikely to beat it at the Nurburgring, but still quite capable.

Lamborghini Huracan Performance Spyder

SVJ is not the only Lambo track that was open at the same time. There is also the Huracan Performante Spyder. And here the closed version holds the Nurburgring record, but for convertibles the goal is different. The atmospheric V10 sounds like a true symphony.

Spyker C8 Spyder

The Dutch at Spyker seem physically incapable of making a bad looking car, and the open C8 is the best proof of that. The frameless glass pairs perfectly with the flat back deck.

BMW i8 Roadster

Even many years after its market debut, the i8 still looks like a guest of the future. It is also one of the most affordable supercars at the moment. And thanks to batteries in the floor and widespread use of carbon fiber composites, the roadster version is virtually on par with standard road performance.

Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 C7

The previous generation of Corvette did not have open versions of the toughest versions - Z06 and ZR1. However, the new, seventh generation corrects this - with it you can order a convertible with any possible engine, including 750 horses.

Ferrari LaFerrari Open

The most powerful V12 civilian car in Italian history undoubtedly loses a tenth of a second on the track when the roof is removed. But quite a few customers without hesitation would replace the tenth in question with the ability to hear the engine without jamming.

Ferrari F8 Spider

If you need a supercar but don't have the resources for a LaFerrari, the Italians will offer you the F8 Spider - a little slower than the F8 coupe, but it's freaking fast so you don't have to sacrifice too much.

Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Roadster

Mercedes has only released six examples of the CLK GTR Roadster, which somehow manages to look even cooler than the hardtop version. Probably the doors that open up help help.

Ferrari F50

Fans of the classic Ferrari have become disillusioned with the F50, mostly because it's not as fast as its legendary F40 predecessor. But on the other hand, it offers a buildable roof and fantastic sound from a real V12.

Koenigsegg Agera

Every version of the Agera is practically a convertible, or rather a targa - you can remove the roof whenever you want and store it in a specially designed recess in the front.

Porsche Carrera GT

It's the same with the Carrera GT - all versions have a targa roof, so you only need to remove a few panels to hear the full range of the screaming V10.

Porsche Spyder 918

The Porsche hypercar also has a targa roof. And also with an amazing combination of a 4,6-liter V8 and two electric motors for a total output of 887 horsepower.

Bugatti Grand Sport Speed

We have to go back in time here because Bugatti still doesn't offer a convertible version of its current Chiron model. But there is no doubt that its predecessor, the Veyron, still deserves attention in this version - after all, it was the fastest convertible in the world.

Buy Look for Roadster

Of course, the list of supercars cannot be complete without the Pagani. The Zonda Roadster is the perfect car if you want to hear the roar of an AMG V12 engine right in your ears.

McLaren 600LT Spider

Although roofless, this car is not a compromise in terms of speed or driving pleasure.

Prefix Dodge Viper Targa

Unfortunately, Dodge never built a movable roof version for its monstrous Viper. But Michigan-based tuning company Prefix does it for them. You can ship your Viper and get it back with a targ top or even a fully automated fabric retractable roof.

Ferrari 812 GTS

Some will argue that this front-engined model is more of a luxury touring car than a supercar. But its wildly aspirated 12-horsepower V789 says otherwise. So his convertible has every right to be on this list.

Mazda MX-5 from Flyin Miata

Of course, the MX-5 is not a supercar, although it is incredibly fun to drive. But that all changes when it gets into the hands of these tuners and gets a powerful 525-horsepower V8 instead of the stock engine. The power-to-weight ratio here is simply amazing.
