The summer season is also the convertibles’ season to hit the roads. To add excitement to the heat of the season, the Volkswagen Corporation offered a lineup that consists of models from the newly launched Beetle Cabriolet to the Bentley high-end cruiser.

The new entrant, Volkswagen Cabriolet is engineered with four gasoline engines that can deliver power ranging from 55KW/ 75 PS to 110kW / 150 PS and a TDI (77 kW / 105 PS). Its image is but a memory of the old Beetle convertible, but new and improved that its cult design greatly attracts glances.

Volkswagen Eos’ power output between 102 kW / 140 PS and 184 kW / 250 PS under the hood of this brilliantly constructed German vehicle. With a five section CSC roof (coupe, sun and convertible roof) consisting of 480 parts that converts the car from a coupe to a convertible as shortly as 25 seconds makes this car one of the most winning German convertibles.

Audi’s TT Roadster has a soft top following Audi’s Philosophy of the Roadster. Housed in its hood is an engine of architecture that powers the vehicle with 184 kW (250 PS) TT Roadster 3.2 Quattro and an option on the 2.0 TFSI with 147 kW (200 PS).

The four seats Audi A4 Cabriolet is topped that connotes elegance and sophistication. Its two engines, the four cylinder TDI with 103 kW (140 PS), and the mighty 309 kW (420 PS) eight cylinder in the RS4 makes the A4 Cabriolet one of the convertible classics.

Its name taken from the German bat – Murcielago, the topless Murcielago LP 640 is the most powerful Roadster in the world.  With a 6.5-liter (6.496 cm3) 60° V-engine and 640 bhp at 8,000 rpm, at 6,000 rpm, this 12 – cylinder engine reaches the maximum torque of 487 lb- ft.

Another best sports car in the world is the Lamborghini Gallardo Spider – the fighting bull as what they call it. Under the hood of this airplane-inspired convertible is a ten cylinder engine with 382 kW (520 PS) and drives to 100 km/hr shortly within 4.3 seconds. With this engine, the Gallardo spider is not far from the bouts of the Murcielago. That’s nice, a bat followed by a bull.

As the name implies, the continental GTC is an exquisite touring car. With a roof that automatically folds down electro-hydraulically even when driving up to 30 km/h makes it one of the most beautiful convertibles at present.  The magnificent engine powers to 411 kW (560 PS) and 650 Newton–meter of torque, that can speed up to an amazing 312 km/h or 306 km/h when the top is down.

The last in the line-up of these steaming convertibles is Bentley’s Azure. The owners of this four seat convertible can grandly enjoy the open fresh summer air. The engine is state of the art technology. A 6.75-liter eight cylinder engine can reach the topmost power of 336 (456 PS) and 875 Newton-meter that can totally speed up to 274 km/h.  

So if your summer is already hot, these convertibles will definitely make it burn.
