Unless you’re shopping for a supercar or a Wrangler-style off-roader where roof panels can be taken off by hand, the options for a new convertible in 2025 are pretty slim. The days of the Average Joe being able to afford an impractical indulgence, such as a two-door car that can’t be used in the rain, are long over. And even if the money’s there, tastes have shifted—an all-weather truck or SUV is the more popular and relatable flex these days.
That said, there are still several convertibles to be had if you look hard enough. On the affordable end, the three big Ms (Mustang, Mini, Miata) still hold down the fort while more premium buyers have a handful of BMWs, Corvettes, Mercedes-Benzes, Porsches, and one fantastic Lexus to choose from.
If you’re looking for something truly exotic, automakers like Aston Martin, Bentley, and Ferrari still have a few ultra-fast, ultra-pricey droptops to choose from, too. Even a few with V-12 engines under the hood.
With that in mind, here’s a list of every convertible you can still buy new in 2025.
Aston Martin: Vantage Roadster / DB12 Volante / Vanquish Volante

- Price: TBD / $265,000 / $489,700
- 656 / 671 / 824 Horsepower
Aston Martin may still be a small beans exotic manufacturer, but it’s still gone through the trouble of offering soft-top versions of all three of its series production coupes: the Vantage, DB12, and Vanquish.
The Vantage Roadster and DB12 Volante use a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 sourced from Mercedes-AMG that makes 656 and 671 horsepower, respectively. The top dog, half-million dollar, “logic-defying” Vanquish, meanwhile, uses a mighty 5.2-liter V-12—Aston’s own—to deliver 824 hp. A V-12 in 2025, no roof, all noise, and that body? Where do we sign?
Bentley Continental GT Convertible

- Price: $317,250
- 771 Horsepower
It may not look it, but the Bentley Continental GT is “new” for this year, and it continues to be available in Convertible form. The entire model range is hybrid now, which means a GTC Speed making a combined 771 horsepower from a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 and an electric motor.
Arguably the most luxurious grand tourer in the world this side of a Rolls-Royce Spectre, the GTC is the car you get when you want both maximum cush and maximum air.
BMW: 4 Series / 8 Series / Z4
- Price: $61,775 / $104,575 / $57,275
- 255 / 335 / 255 Horsepower
Despite its heritage as mostly a sports sedan specialist, BMW actually makes more convertibles nowadays than Mercedes-Benz—one more, to be exact.
In addition to the Z4 roadster, which recently gained a manual transmission for its 382-horsepower M40i variant, both the 4 Series and 8 Series are still available as Convertibles. These include their high-performance, 523-hp M4 and 617-hp M8 Competition versions. Perfect for living out your wildest Fancy Supra, bucktooth, and Big M8 memes with all of the wind in your hair.
Chevrolet Corvette: Stingray / E-Ray / Z06 / ZR1 / ZR1X

- Price: $77,195 / $115,795 / $123,995 / $188,195 / TBD
- 495 / 655 / 670 / 1,064 / 1,250 Horsepower
Moving the C8 Chevy Corvette’s engine to the middle has not affected its ability to stow a retractable roof. Notably, the Corvette can be had in Convertible form across its entire range, even though the Coupes actually have hand-removable targa tops that can be stowed in the trunk.
The regular Stingray, the hybrid E-Ray, the 670-horse Z06, the 1,064-hp ZR1, and even the insane, new ZR1X are available as Convertibles. With 1,250 hp coming out of that last one, you’re probably going to need a stronger toupée.
Ferrari: 296 GTS / 12Cilindri Spider / SF90 Spider
- Price: $379,950 / $510,000 / $593,950
- 819 / 819 / 986 Horsepower
Say what you will about structural rigidity or uninterrupted bodylines, but when the average person pictures themselves cruising around in a Ferrari, they probably picture it with the top down. They think of Miami Vice.
Hence, the world’s most famous supercar maker still offers pretty much its entire two-door range with convertible roof options. Whether you go for the mid-engined 296, the 12Cilindri grand tourer, or SF90 hybrid hypercar, there’s a roofless variant on the table. The Roma-replacing Amalfi has yet to get a Spider version, but we’d be shocked if that’s not just around the corner.
Ford: Mustang Convertible / Bronco

- Price: $42,810 / $41,685
- 315 / 300 Horsepower
The venerable Ford Mustang has been holding down its pony car fort for the past 60 years, and it’s carried over the tradition of offering a Convertible version if you so choose. It’s available with the 315-horsepower EcoBoost model or the 480-hp, 5.0-liter V-8 GT, but the Dark Horse is fixed-top only.
Ford’s Bronco off-roader, meanwhile, isn’t a convertible in the traditional sense, but you can take its roof panels and doors off, so I say it counts.
GMC Hummer EV
- Price: $99,045 / $107,145
- 570 / 1,000 Horsepower
Ditto for the GMC Hummer EV, whose “Infinity Roof” consists of four removable panels that fit neatly in its frunk. This roof is standard equipment whether you go for the dual-motor, 570-horsepower 2X model, the full-on tri-motor 3X making 1,000 hp, the pickup bodystyle, or the SUV.
The Hummer was once the poster child of conspicuous, obnoxious, big truck consumption, but now that the Tesla Cybertruck exists, these don’t look or feel that crazy anymore whenever I see one driving around—they’re just trucks. So, yeah, go ahead and keep that top open. These days, the haters have bigger, uglier fish to throw stuff at.
Jeep: Wrangler / Gladiator

- Price: $34,090 / $40,095
- 285 / 285 Horsepower
If you’re after similar functionality with way more down-to-earth vibes, both the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator pickup have roof panels (and doors) that can be manually taken off. In most configurations, both vehicles are powered by a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 making 285 horsepower, but the Wrangler can be had with a V-8 or as a 4xe plug-in hybrid making 375 total hp as well.
The T-tops in the front can be removed by undoing some tabs, lifting, and sliding them off. You’ll likely need a friend to help take off the backpiece, but Jeep provides all the tools you need. Now, you’re ready to hit the beach in style.
Lexus LC500 Convertible

- Price: $108,400
- 471 Horsepower
In my mind, the Lexus LC500 is, dollar-for-dollar, the greatest new car you can buy today. Stunning to behold, impeccably assembled, an all-time great engine, and available as a convertible—so you can hear that majestic V-8 soundtrack that much better.
An old school 5.0-liter does the heavy lifting, making 471 horsepower, but that spec is a simple footnote in the LC’s likely legacy as a bona fide modern classic. Despite journalist consensus on its greatness, Lexus doesn’t sell a lot of these, and it’s one of those cars that feels like it’s perpetually on the chopping block. The hybrid LC500h variant did indeed get the axe recently, but the 500 storms on for 2026. If you have the means, I highly recommend.
Maserati: GranCabrio Trofeo / GranCabrio Folgore / MCPura Cielo
- Price: $204,995 / $206,995 / TBD
- 542 / 818 / 621 Horsepower
Maserati is often forgotten as an also-ran Italian supercar maker, but it’s still out here offering drop-top versions of both its long-legged grand tourer and its low-slung mid-engined supercar. The GranCabrio is a soft-top version of the GranTurismo, while Maser just recently unveiled the MCPura Cielo, essentially an updated MC20 Cielo with a new name.
The GranCabrio comes in two variants: a V-6 Trofeo gas model making 542 horsepower or a Folgore EV pumping out 818 combined hp through three electric motors. The gas-only MCPura Cielo, meanwhile, uses its V-6 to make a supercar-worthy 621 hp.
Mazda MX-5 Miata
- Price: $30,765
- 181 Horsepower
You can’t discuss affordable convertibles without mentioning the Miata, and with a starting price of just $30,765, the modern Mazda MX-5 earns its place as the least expensive car in this entire list. Small, tossable, and easy to love, Mazda’s long-running roadster makes the absolute most out of its 2.0-liter four-cylinder, 181 horsepower, and impressively light frame. This car is basically a counterexample to the idea that “they don’t make ‘em like they used to.”
As standard, it comes with a soft top you can put up and down manually with one hand, but a $42,085 RF version incorporates a power-retractable hardtop, essentially rendering it a Miata Coupe when the roof is closed.
McLaren: Artura Spider, 750S Spider

- Price: $279,300 / $350,500
- 690 / 740 Horsepower
McLaren makes a medium-big deal over how their carbon fiber monocoques are engineered with Spider versions in mind from the get-go. This means there are apparently no penalties in rigidity if you go for the roofless Artura or 750S over their respective coupe siblings.
With the V-6 hybrid Artura Spider, the convertible top adds just 136 pounds over the coupe, and it’s pretty much just as capable: 60 mph arrives in three seconds flat, and it tops out at 205 mph. The 750S Spider, meanwhile, uses a twin-turbo V-8 and hits 60 mph in 27 seconds, with a top speed of 206. That’s identical to the coupe, which weighs 108 pounds less. Something tells me the Artura could do 206 as well if it really wanted to, but, y’know, some hierarchies need to be respected. Whatever happened to Papaya rules?
Mercedes-Benz: CLE Cabriolet, AMG SL

- Price: $67,600 / $113,100
- 255 / 416 Horsepower
Not that long ago, Mercedes-Benz made more convertibles than you could count. Now, that’s all consolidated into just two models: the CLE Cabriolet and AMG SL. To be fair, if you drill down into the many engine variants of these two, Mercedes still has the convertible gamut well covered.
Early-career California realtors looking for their first flex purchase can grab a four-seat CLE300 for just $67,600, but there’s also the CLE450 and CLE53 for those looking for more power. The Mercedes-AMG SL is strictly a two-seater these days and starts at $113,100 for the four-cylinder 43 model. Performance and price balloon through the 55 and 63 SLs, reaching a peak with the SL63 S E Performance, a hybrid V-8 flagship making 805 combined horsepower and starting at $208,300.
Mini Cooper Convertible: Base / S / John Cooper Works
Photo by: Mini
- Price: $35,775 / $39,075 / $45,775
- 161 / 201 / 228 Horsepower
The Mini Cooper Convertible—and its spicier S and John Cooper Works variants—stands as the only front-wheel-drive convertible you can buy new in 2025.
The entire Cooper range was redesigned for this year, and it’s a bit tamer in personality than it used to be. Nonetheless, they’re all powered by a 2.0-liter turbo-four making 161 horsepower standard, 201 hp in the S, and 228 hp in the rowdy JCW.
Porsche: 718 Boxster, 911 Cabriolet / Targa
Photo by: Porsche
- Price: $79,595 / $148,350
- 300 / 388 Horsepower
Both of Porsche’s sports cars are available as convertibles. There’s the 300-horsepower 718 Boxster to start, but the S brings 350 hp and the GTS 4.0 reintroduces a flat-six. The GTS pumps out 394 and is the one you want. Unless, of course, you can get your hands on the $170K Spyder RS. The roof on this one is removed by hand, and the process is, like, a whole thing. In return, though, you get the benefit of driving a 493-hp rockstar that can get from zero to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds and ruin every single other car for you for the rest of time.
The 911’s Cabriolet top, meanwhile, is available with base Carrera, T, S, hybrid GTS, and Turbo models. An updated 992.2 hybrid version of the latter is expected to drop sometime this year. For an open-top 911 experience that’s a little less conventional, the Targa 4S and 4 GTS feature a nifty retractable hardtop that retains a glass canopy over the rear when the roof is open. That’s the convertible 911 to get if you’d like to impress the sort of Porsche people who obsess over wristwatches and “mechanical elegance.” In other words, all of them.
