Of course, convertibles in India are a niche within a niche. The sun’s too harsh, the monsoons too moody, and traffic’s too much to handle. But on that one perfect day, somewhere in the hills with the roof down and your playlist right, nothing beats a convertible. Here’s the complete 2025 lineup, from electric newbies to old-money V12s, all of them factory-fresh and road-legal in India:
MG Cyberster
The only EV on this list is also the most affordable—and quite possibly the most futuristic. The MG Cyberster arrives with scissor doors, a 10-second soft-top, and a 3.2-second 0–100kph time. It packs a 77kWh battery, 510hp and 725Nm via dual motors and AWD. Oh, and it tops out at 200kph. Not your typical MG, then.
Roof type: Soft-top
Powertrain: Dual-motor AWD EV
Top speed: 200kph
0–100kph: 3.2s
BMW Z4 M40i / Pure Impulse Manual
A soft-top Bimmer with proper roadster proportions and the last of its kind in many ways. The 3.0-litre straight-six makes 340hp and 500Nm, pushing the Z4 to 100kph in 4.5s (AT) or 4.6s (MT). It’s also the only one here with a 6-speed manual. Old-school thrills, new-school price.
Roof type: Soft-top
Powertrain: RWD 3.0L I6 turbo
Top speed: NA
0–100kph: 4.5s (AT) / 4.6s (MT)
Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 Cabriolet
The most “everyday” Merc on this list, the CLE 300 slots in as a stylish cruiser. 258hp and 400Nm from a 2.0L turbo, 0–100kph in 6.7s, and AWD to keep things composed. It’s the kind of drop-top that looks just as happy outside an art gallery as it does on Marine Drive.
Roof type: Soft-top
Powertrain: AWD 2.0L I4 turbo
Top speed: NA
0–100kph: 6.7s
Mercedes-AMG SL 55 / Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series
Same silhouette, two very different energies. The AMG SL 55 is muscle-bound and performance-minded with 476hp from a twin-turbo V8, hitting 100kph in 3.9s. The Maybach SL 680? That’s for sipping champagne at sunset—an 830Nm chariot limited to just three units for India (all sold).
Roof type: Soft-top
Powertrain: AWD 4.0L twin-turbo V8
Top speed: NA
0–100kph: 3.9s (AMG) / 4.1s (Maybach)
Maserati GranCabrio Trofeo
Big, brash, and very Italian. Maserati’s newest GranCabrio brings 550hp and 650Nm to the table courtesy of its twin-turbo V6. That means 0–100 in 3.6s and a top speed of 316kph. Roof up or down, it’s still one of the most dramatic designs on the road.
Roof type: Soft-top
Powertrain: AWD 3.0L twin-turbo V6
Top speed: 316kph
0–100kph: 3.6s
Ferrari Portofino M
Ferrari’s most approachable open-top GT blends everyday liveability with serious power. The twin-turbo V8 makes 620hp, and that retractable hardtop tucks away in 14 seconds. Equal parts boulevard cruiser and backroad missile.
Roof type: Retractable hardtop
Powertrain: RWD 3.9L twin-turbo V8
Top speed: ~320kph
0–100kph: 3.4s
McLaren 750S Spider
The fastest car here, period. 750hp and 800Nm from a twin-turbo V8, 0–100 in 2.8s, and a roof made of electrochromic glass that tints at the touch of a button. It’s what Bruce Wayne would daily—if Bruce lived in Bandra.
Roof type: Electrochromic glass hardtop
Powertrain: RWD 4.0L twin-turbo V8
Top speed: NA
0–100kph: 2.8s
Ferrari Roma Spider
Ferrari’s return to front-engined soft-tops after nearly six decades—and what a return. The Roma Spider marries retro inspiration with 620hp of turbocharged V8 magic. 13.5 seconds is all it takes for the roof to disappear.
Roof type: Soft-top
Powertrain: RWD 3.9L twin-turbo V8
Top speed: NA
0–100kph: 3.4s
Maserati MC20 Cielo
The more track-hardened sibling to the GranCabrio, the Cielo swaps fabric for electrochromic glass and brings 630hp to the party. It’s a proper supercar with a roof that vanishes in 12 seconds. 0–100 in 2.9s, and you’re basically flying.
Roof type: Electrochromic glass hardtop
Powertrain: RWD 3.0L twin-turbo V6
Top speed: 320kph
0–100kph: 2.9s
Ferrari 296 GTS
One of Ferrari’s most technical creations. A plug-in hybrid with 830hp, a V6 soundtrack, and a foldable hard-top that tucks itself behind flying buttresses in 14 seconds. Just don’t call it sensible.
Roof type: Retractable hardtop
Powertrain: RWD 3.0L twin-turbo V6 + e-motor
Top speed: NA
0–100kph: 2.9s
Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider
The most expensive convertible you can currently buy in India. Naturally aspirated V12s are going extinct, but this one sings—with 830hp, a 2.9s sprint time, and an operatic 6.5L of fury under the bonnet. Ferrari calls it the 12Cilindri. You’ll call it the dream.
Roof type: Retractable hardtop
Powertrain: RWD 6.5L NA V12
Top speed: NA
0–100kph: 2.9s
