Chevrolet Corvette Roadster

The Chevrolet Corvette Roadster turns any commute into a headline, with sculpted, exotic-car looks and an electrically folding roof that invites you to drive with the sky on. Behind that stylish face is a jewel of a sports car that serves up sharp handling, a theatrical exhaust note, and more drama per mile than most rivals — great fun for buyers who want supercar sensation without supercar pretensions.

Ferrari 296 Roadster

The Ferrari 296 GTS marries dramatic mid‑engine styling with razor‑sharp handling and a soundtrack that insists you drive it like you stole it. With the roof down it becomes an intoxicating open‑top thoroughbred that somehow also manages to be surprisingly usable day to day — a gorgeous, grin‑inducing reminder of why people fall for Ferraris.
