CONVERTIBLE CARS FOR SUMMER TIME

Convertible cars and summertime: The two are synonymous, correct?

At THE COLLECTION, our showroom boasts the best top-down-and-drive-around-town options for those of you who like to cruise with the breeze running through your hair. So without further ado, here are my top picks for the hottest drop tops on the streets right now:

Ferrari California T: Ask any car enthusiast which car embodies the perfect convertible and they will often tell you that the Ferrari California T.  Speed aside, The California T boasts a retractable hard top that reduces wind noise and creates a more coupe-like silhouette when closed. So innovative.

Audi R8: If it’s good enough for Tony Stark in Iron Man, well, it’s certainly good enough for us! Audi’s first supercar is not only a Marvel hero’s choice vehicle, it’s a serious head-turner, too.

Jaguar F-Type: “Gorgeous styling, a luxurious interior and thrilling performance all combine to make the 2016 Jaguar F-Type one of the most desirable sports cars on the road today,” Edmunds.com says. And they’re unequivocally correct.

Porsche 911: This cabriolet is a staple on the streets of South Florida and with good reason. With a top track speed of 183 mph, it is both fast and furious! Almost every Porsche purist owns this model because of its superior handling and come-hither looks. Simply said, it’s the range’s quintessential convertible.

Maserati GranTurismo: The exterior of this Italian car has curves in all the right places and offers a high-performance drive. As for its interior — it’s lavishly appointed as well. Winning!

Aston Martin Vantage: I love that this Brit IT convertible keeps it both modern and classic. The Aston Martin Vantage combines ferocious power with superb agility — and allows drivers to enjoy Miami’s sunny days with the simple touch of a button.

McLaren 650S: I have two words for the McLaren 650s convertible: Head turner. From its dihedral doors to its kicky colors to it stunning design, this supercar is just that — super.
