Fastest convertibles on the planet

If you like convertibles, especially fast ones, here's a treat for you...(and as always, click on any image to enlarge)

Right off the bat, fast as a bat out of hell, is the very fastest convertible in the world. It's so fast, it's name is literally "speed"(in French)--The Bugatti 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse.

McLaren MP4 12C Spyder. Looks like it's tearing down the road at 300 km/h, even when it's not moving at all.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT. Okay, so no gullwing doors. But this one's a convertible!

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show on March 5, 2013

1957 Chevrolet Corvette. If the newest one isn't quite your speed, how about a classic?

A Porsche 918 Spyder concept. Unveiled as three years ago in Geneva, you won't be able to get your hands on a 918 until the end of this year. But with a 4.6L V8 putting out 580 horsepower, combined with two electric motors turning out an additional 240 hp, you can bet it'll be worth the wait.

Replica of James Dean's 1955 Porsche "Beck" Spyder.

Pagani Zonda. "Wicked" is the first word that comes to mind.

Lamborghini Aventador J. This is probably my favourite. It just spews sex appeal. No, ladies--the Italian gentleman is not part of the standard equipment.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP-560 4 Spyder at the 83rd Geneva International Motor Show, March 5, 2013. Sleek lines make for a delicious, aerodynamic look. Same with the car.
