Placed behind the seats all the way up the car, they guarantee a weight distribution close to that of a mid-engine berlinetta.

Particularly at the front, where it adopts the radiator grille of the sedan Tesla Model S , designed by Franz von Holzhausen, former Mazda.

2010 Ferrari 599 Roadster reviews spec

this is 2010 Ferrari 599 Roadster .Revealed is too able a word, because we don�t accept a photo of the 599 Roadster. But we do accept Ferrari bang-up Luca di Montezemolo acceptance that a bead top adaptation of the 599 is on the way.

The Ferrari 599 Roadster will be the aboriginal accessible top V12 from Maranello back the 575 Superamerica bristles years ago. And, like the Superamerica, it will get an evocative name. Luca di Montezemolo says that it will be �� an emotional, adventurous name such as Italia or Fiorano�. But what it will be, he didn�t say.This particular 599 roadster was rosso fuoco � a rare and expensive multi-layer red � and had silver buttresses. It also had a new wheel design. The best news about this new model was that the engine will come from the recently unveiled 599 GTO and that the convertible will weigh no more than the current 599 GTB coupe. It will be priced at a premium over the GTO and will be limited to just 100 units. There was no indication of what this new model will be called, but Barchetta and SuperAmerica were used on the 550 and 575 convertibles, so maybe one of those will be resurrected...or possibly another name from Ferraris past, like Monza. Sales were tentatively promised for Summer 2011."

2012 Lotus Exige S Roadster

LOTUS EXIGE S ROADSER

 

The Exige has long existed in the Lotus range. Since 2004, the generation time of S2, itself a development of S1, the Exige Sport offers customers a radical solution, uncomfortable and very oriented circuit of the Elise. A version with a hard-top was introduced some years ago, but lacked a bit of flexibility to all, since a lack filled this week with the launch of the Exige S Roadster. Presented in grand style with the pilot "home" Kimi Raikkonen of Team Lotus F1 team, this new convertible is not as powerful as the Exige S.
If you are looking for consistency, go your way. Indeed, the Lotus Elise is a traditional roadster and Exige coupe. Nevertheless, the arrival of the Exige S Roadster should shake up the deal.

It is becoming a roadster, one that replaces the same time its retractable roof for a traditional canvas hood.

Like the Exige S "cut", this roadster version receives the same aesthetic attributes: ultra-wraparound bumpers, alloy wheels 5 spoke, rear diffuser, large stainless steel exhaust ... Anyway, can not be confused with a 4-cylinder version.

And for good reason. Its the mechanics of the Lotus Evora S, namely the Toyota 3.5 V6 officiating. Force-fed by a compressor, it develops no less than 350 hp. This means that the power / weight ratio breath away, because the animal weighs less than 1, 1 ton.

The performances are excellent, with a 0 to 100 km / h shipped in 4 seconds and a top speed of 233 km / h.

 

Stylistically, it receives a strong influence of the restyling of the Evora, particularly on the front. The block remains the same, a V6 3.5 L compressed to 350 hp and 400 Nm at 1,100 kilos Content, the convertible is available with a manual gearbox or six-speed automated-manual Serial Precision Shift (SPS). According to what announces Lotus, the Exige S Roadster promises a 0-100 km / h in 4.5 s for a standard consumption of 10.1 l/100 km and 236 g / km of CO2. On the chassis, the intervention of the soft top does not prevent Lotus to offer its dual suspension setup. "Standard", valid on road and track, the Exige S Roadster offers an optional "Race Pack", firming suspensions and removing up to rebound. Already spartan comfort will suffer.
