In honour of summer, let's talk a bit about the most beautiful topless autos ever built. I'll raise the 1957-63 Mercedes Benz 300sl Roadster, the 1954-1958 Porsche Speedster, and the 1953-56 Austin-Healey 100.

Helps if you like the BMW design aesthetic of the time but something attracts me to the Z4M more than just about any other roadster or vert of it's era.

And an honourable mention, not sure why but I've always had a huge soft spot for first generation A5 cabriolets, particularly the base 3.2L V6 models.

I just love how grand and elegant they look, especially with multi-spoke wheels like the ones below.

im sorry to say this, but the second generation of the lexus sc is just so feminine. maybe i think that way because i've only ever seen women driving them..


i'm not sure how others feel about this, but i personally do not like convertibles where the top just kinda sits there at the back like with that 944cab. sure that ones got a nice cover on it, but it just looks off to me. feels like such an eye sore on an other wise sexy car.
