Top 5 fastest convertible roofs

Posted on 09:14 by Unknown
Altough the convertible roof speed is really not too important factor, the car makers are competing each other also in this "benchmark".

Here are the top 5 :

1. Audi TT Roadster 2010 : 9 seconds
2. Porsche Boxster : 12 seconds
3. VW New Beetle : 13 seconds
4. Mini Cabrio : 15 seconds
5. Mercedes SL : 16 seconds

My Saab has 20 seconds, which is still sure under the top 10. The speed of bringing the roof down is absolutely unimportant. For bringing it up the 20 seconds are completely enough on a red light stop on the way home to the garage. It is also enough to bring it up when it starts to rain and ehm in a convertible without roof you see the clouds much better than in a normal car.
