Convertible

Alfa Romeo just announced that it will be bringing its 8C Competizione Spider Convertible to the U.S. in January. Only 500 of these models will be built and 34 of them will show up here in the states.

Built in Modena, Italy, and sharing its mechanicals with the Maserati Granturismo, you can expect the 8C Spider to be a beautifully built vehicle. Equipped with a 4.7L V8 engine, this Alfa produces 450hp (335kW) at 7,000rpm. Also, the engine has been paired to a self-shifting 6-speed gearbox (with computerized selection of the gears via levers behind the steering-wheel), and a self-blocking differential unit.Read more

The Infiniti G37 Convertible houses a 3.7L V6 engine with a choice of a 7-speed automatic transmission with available magnesium paddle shifters, or a responsive close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission, the same as in the Coupe. The G37 Convertible produces 325hp (242kW) and the coupe boasts 328hp (245kW).

Infiniti is also launching a new marketing campaign with a new slogan: "Own the Sky."

The roof design features a three-piece folding steel top. You will also receive a Bose Open Air Sound System that dynamically changes equalization based on outside noise, vehicle speed, and top position. There is also an adaptive climate control system that adjusts fan speed in accordance to top position and vehicle speed.Read more
