Top 3 most stylish convertibles in the UAE
Tags:
Driving around the UAE can be a thrilling experience, especially if you go out on the open road and travel long distances during days of pleasant weather. You can cruise comfortably as you take in the sights, and riding in a convertible can take the experience to a whole new level. Here, we give you a quick look at the 3 most stylish convertibles currently on sale in the UAE.
Ferrari 488 Spider
Speed, handling, comfort, and aesthetics are the qualities that define the Ferrari 488 Spider. Its graceful lines somehow overshadow the fact that it can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, thanks to its four-liter 661-horsepower V8 engine. It’s not just a less expensive option for those who can’t afford the Lamborghini Huracan, it’s a high-performance and highly attractive thoroughbred that is in a class of its own.
Engine: 3.9 L V8
Power: 670 hp/760 Nm
Top speed: 325 km/h
Price: AED 1,119,038
Audi TT Roadster
Simple yet elegant and with impressive performance to boot, the Audi TT Roadster is for those who want a high-end convertible ride that is neither too flashy nor too plain. A 4-cylinder 230-horsepower engine gives this little car the speed and endurance necessary for long drives on the open highway, though it won’t look out of place if used as a city cruiser.
Engine: 2.0 L 4-cylinder
Power: 230 hp/370 Nm
Top speed: 250 km/h
Price: AED 220,185
MINI Convertible
Although the MINI Convertible has a somewhat less impressive boxy look more typical of the traditional sub-compacts that ply the streets of many of the world’s busiest cities, looks can indeed be deceiving. This little contender can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just under 10 seconds, which is rather remarkable for something that was never intended to rival a sports car. Furthermore, you can opt to modify the car’s plain-looking outline by taking down the top, hence turning the otherwise unimpressive MINI into a fancy open-air runabout that can make heads turn wherever it goes.
Engine: 2.0 L 4-cylinder
Power: 189 hp/280 Nm
Top speed: 228 km/h
Price: AED 177,450
Verdict
Although the Ferrari 488 Spider convertible carries the heftiest price tag of any of the three contenders in this list, it nonetheless takes home the crown for having adequate degrees of what people look for in a luxury convertible: high performance, a sleek design, and a smooth ride. It is then, the winner of this very brief top three.
