Top 10 Convertible Supercars in 2027

1Ferrari SF90 Spider

The SF90 Spider tops this list because it delivers 986 horsepower from a plug-in hybrid V8 and three electric motors, making it the quickest convertible supercar on sale. It hits 60 mph in roughly 2.5 seconds and can run about 15 miles on electric power alone. The retractable hardtop folds in 14 seconds at speeds up to 28 mph.

It is for buyers who want Formula 1-derived hybrid performance with open-air drama and can accept a roughly $570,000 starting price. It trades away some of the raw steering feel purists loved in older Ferraris for immense grip and instant torque. Against the Lamborghini below, it is quicker and more technically advanced but less theatrically loud.

2Lamborghini Revuelto Roadster

The Revuelto Roadster ranks second because its 6.5-liter V12 paired with three electric motors produces 1,001 horsepower, the most of any Lamborghini convertible. It reaches 60 mph in about 2.5 seconds and tops 217 mph. The V12 redlines at 9,250 rpm, keeping the naturally aspirated soundtrack alive.

It is for enthusiasts who prize a screaming V12 and dramatic styling over subtlety. It trades away everyday usability and fuel economy, and the hybrid system adds weight versus the pure V12 Aventador it replaced. Compared to the Ferrari above, it is more emotional and louder but slightly less agile in tight corners.

3McLaren 750S Spider

The 750S Spider takes third because its carbon-fiber tub and 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 produce 740 horsepower while weighing just over 3,000 pounds, giving it the best power-to-weight ratio in this group. It hits 60 mph in 2.7 seconds. The retractable hardtop operates in 11 seconds at up to 31 mph.

It is for drivers who prioritize razor-sharp handling and light weight over outright luxury. It trades away some ride comfort and cabin refinement compared to the Ferrari and Lamborghini above it. Against the Porsche below, it is faster and more exotic but less practical and far more expensive to maintain.

4Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet

The 911 Turbo S Cabriolet ranks fourth because it combines 640 horsepower from a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six with all-wheel drive, launching to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds. It is the most usable and reliable convertible supercar here, with a power top that opens in 12 seconds at up to 31 mph.

It is for buyers who want supercar speed with daily-driver comfort and a usable back seat. It trades away exotic exclusivity and dramatic styling compared to the McLaren and Ferrari above. Against the Audi below, it is quicker and more focused but costs considerably more and offers less all-weather confidence.

5Audi R8 Spyder V10

The R8 Spyder V10 earns fifth because its naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 makes 602 horsepower and shares its engine with the Lamborghini Huracan, delivering a 3.1-second run to 60 mph. The soft top opens in 20 seconds at speeds up to 31 mph. It is the last of Audi's V10 convertibles.

It is for buyers who want Lamborghini mechanicals with Audi everyday usability and a lower price. It trades away some of the Huracan's visual drama and sharper chassis tuning. Compared to the Porsche above, it is more exotic-sounding but slower and less practical in wet conditions.

6Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible

The Corvette Z06 Convertible ranks sixth because its 5.5-liter flat-plane-crank V8 revs to 8,600 rpm and produces 670 horsepower, the highest-revving V8 in any convertible supercar here. It reaches 60 mph in 2.6 seconds. The retractable hardtop can be operated at speeds up to 30 mph.

It is for buyers who want exotic performance at roughly $110,000, a fraction of the European rivals above. It trades away interior materials and brand prestige compared to the Audi and Porsche. Against the Mercedes below, it is faster and more track-focused but less comfortable and less refined on long drives.

7Mercedes-AMG SL 63 Roadster

The AMG SL 63 Roadster takes seventh because its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 delivers 577 horsepower and 590 lb-ft, hitting 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. It returns as a proper two-plus-two soft-top with a fabric roof that opens in 15 seconds at up to 37 mph. It blends grand touring comfort with real pace.

It is for buyers who want a luxury convertible that can also perform, with a usable back seat and premium cabin. It trades away outright track capability and exotic engine character versus the Corvette above. Against the BMW below, it is more powerful and luxurious but heavier and more expensive.

8BMW M8 Competition Convertible

The M8 Competition Convertible ranks eighth because its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 makes 617 horsepower, propelling it to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds. The soft top opens in 15 seconds at speeds up to 30 mph. It pairs that speed with a genuinely comfortable grand-touring cabin and all-wheel drive.

It is for buyers who want a fast, luxurious convertible for long-distance cruising rather than track work. It trades away agility and lightweight feel compared to the Corvette and Mercedes above. Against the Aston Martin below, it is quicker and more tech-laden but less beautiful and less exclusive.

9Aston Martin Vantage Roadster

The Vantage Roadster earns ninth because its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 produces 656 horsepower in the latest form, reaching 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The fabric roof is the fastest-opening in this group at 6.7 seconds, operable at up to 31 mph. It offers classic British grand-touring style.

It is for buyers who value beauty, sound, and exclusivity over raw lap times. It trades away outright speed and interior tech versus the BMW above. Against the Jaguar below, it is more powerful and more expensive but less of a value proposition.

10Jaguar F-Type R Convertible

The F-Type R Convertible rounds out the list because its supercharged 5.0-liter V8 makes 575 horsepower and hits 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, with a soundtrack few rivals match. The soft top opens in 12 seconds at up to 30 mph. It remains one of the most affordable V8 convertible supercars.

It is for buyers who want dramatic V8 character and striking design at a lower price than the Europeans above. It trades away the latest hybrid tech, rear-seat space, and some chassis sharpness. Against the Aston Martin above, it is less exclusive but considerably cheaper and nearly as fast.

How we ranked these

We evaluated each convertible supercar on five weighted criteria: acceleration (0-60 mph and quarter-mile), top speed, handling (skidpad and lap times), braking (60-0 mph), and convertible-specific rigidity. Power-to-weight ratio and aerodynamic efficiency were also factored. Data came from manufacturer specs and independent track tests.

We deliberately ignored brand heritage, resale value, and interior luxury. These factors don't affect raw performance, which is the core of a supercar. We also excluded limited-run hypercars and focused on series-production models available in 2027. Styling and exhaust note were not scored, as they are subjective.

What to look for

When choosing among these, prioritize how you'll use the car: track-focused models offer sharper handling but harsher rides, while grand tourers balance comfort and speed. Consider roof mechanism speed and whether it operates at speed. Also check cargo space, as convertibles often sacrifice trunk room for stowed tops.

The biggest mistake buyers make is assuming all convertibles are equally rigid. Some lose significant chassis stiffness, hurting handling and safety. Another error is overlooking maintenance costs for complex tops and high-strung engines. Always test drive with the top down at highway speeds to check for buffeting and noise.
