Driving Top-down: Convertibles

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder
Show off. These two words are as much a description as they are a taunt to those, who choose this most outrageous of cars over any of the others, on our list. The Lamborghini Gallardo is already one of the most over-the-top choices for any supercar aficionado. And then there’s the Spyder—with sales twice those for the Coupe, proof on paper that most Lamborghini owners like to, well, show off. It is the meanestlooking supercar you’ll find. It might not be the fastest, but it’s no slacker. The Gallardo Spyder packs a V10 that’ll crank out 560 hp. Contrary to popular belief, those aren’t horses in the midengined Gallardo, they’re definitely bulls—the raging kind. They aren’t the kind that would mow down pedestrians though—not because it’s wrong, just because it would slow them down. And slow is not a word to associate with. It would take a mere 3.9 seconds to go from looking like it’s doing 100 km/hr to actually doing 100 km/hr!
