Yes, it's a droptop, but it's not just any droptop — the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S Roadster is the fastest, most powerful droptop the British brand has ever produced. The 6.0L V12 engine is to thank, pumping out 565 horses, and paired with a Sportshift III 7-speed transmission that helps propel the car from 0-60 in just 3.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 201 mph. Other highlights include an all-new, lightweight exhaust system, carbon ceramic disc brakes, a generous helping of carbon fiber — most notably in the blacked-out grille — and three-stage adaptive damping with specially-tailored Normal, Sport, and Track modes.

Porsche 911 Carrera S Martini Racing Edition

If you were able to pull your eyes away from World Cup Soccer this weekend for a little while, you may just have caught a bit of the 24 Hours of LeMans. And even though Porsche wasn't able to pull out a win against long-time rival Audi, that didn't stop them from releasing the 911 Carrera S Martini Racing Edition in honor of the world's oldest endurance sports car race. Sporting the signature Martini Racing stripes, this Carrera S features a 3.8-liter flat six with 400 horsepower, upgraded aerodynamics, black leather sport seats, and a Bose sound system (just in case you want to drown out the more vocal Audi supporters).

Audi R8 LMX

570hp V10. Permanent all-wheel drive. 19 inch-wheels. 0-62 in just 3.4 seconds. All very impressive stats — but you won't be buying the Audi R8 LMX for any of those reasons. Instead, the LMX stands out from the crowd thanks to its... headlights. Indeed, this stunning supercar will be the first production vehicle with laser high beams. The advanced system kicks in automatically at speeds of 37 mph and above, with dual laser modules creating a cone of white light with twice the range of the all‑LED headlights. After all, if you're going to make good use of all that speed, you need to see where you're going.

Trident Iceni

For too long, the quest for a fuel-efficient sports car has been largely dominated by one approach — plug-in or hybrid electric engines — and in that quest, not nearly enough attention has been paid to the obvious benefits of diesel power. The Trident Iceni represents a counter to that approach, sporting a 6.6-liter V8 engine capable of producing 395 horsepower and an incredible 700 pound-feet of torque. All that power and torque means it can hit 60mph in just 3.7 seconds, and a top speed of over 190mph, all while claiming a range of around 2,000 miles on a single fill-up. And with classic British sporting-inspired style (available in a convertible, fastback, and shooting brake body) it's really hard to go wrong with this one.

Morgan Plus 8 Speedster

For a century the Morgan Motor Company has insisted on doing things a little differently — ever since they started building three-wheeled runabouts in the prewar era. But one thing they haven't done differently throughout their history is change their characteristic aesthetic, most obvious in the long sweeping hood and short rear end. The Morgan Plus 8 Speedster sticks with that look, but adds in a completely modern drivetrain (a 4.8-liter BMW V8 producing 367 horsepower through a six speed manual or automatic transmission) that pushes the car to 60 in just over four seconds. Plenty of options let you customize the car to your liking, including an available roof, roll bars, and a number of wheels.

2015 Corvette Z06 Convertible

We all know the advantages of a droptop — the style, the feeling of the breeze in your hair — but they're also not without their drawbacks. Convertibles tend to sacrifice rigidity when they lose their roof, and all too often they make up for that with weight-adding structural support. But the 2015 Corvette Z06 Convertible doesn't, thanks to its uncompromising commitment to lightness and its incredibly-sound aluminum frame. It still retains everything you love about the Z06 (a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 producing over 600 horsepower and pound-feet of torque with a seven-speed manual) and gains so little additional weight that you'd barely notice. It's everything you want in a convertible, without sacrificing a single thing you like about a coupe.

2015 BMW M4 Convertible

Speed and horsepower are one thing just on their own — but when you add in a drop-top that can fold up in under 20 seconds, then you really have something worthwhile. Retaining the same glorious power plant that its hard-topped predecessor had (a three-liter, 425-horsepower, twin-turbocharged straight six), the 2015 BMW M4 Convertible has the added benefit of letting in some of that sun you've been craving all winter. Available with either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, it pushes all that power through its rear wheels, helped by an active differential, adaptive suspension, and more. And though it's a bit heavier than its non-convertible sibling, we're willing to bet you'll hardly notice with all that wind going through your hair.

2015 Audi TT

For the third generation 2015 Audi TT, the styling is more an evolution than it is a total revamp, getting its inspiration from the first-generation TT and the recent Audi Quattro Concept. With a front grill that resembles the recent concept, and hindquarters with the same rounded lines of the original, it features three available drivetrains — the base, a two-liter four-cylinder twin-turbo with 184 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, and the most performant with 310 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. And with an available manual transmission, or a six-speed dual-clutch automatic, and front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive variants, there's not much this sporty two-seater can't handle.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage N430

If you've been biding your time waiting for a more colorful Aston to park in your garage, your hour has arrived. The Aston Martin V8 Vantage N430 is the latest special-edition ride from the British automaker, and as such includes some pretty special features, beginning with the 4.7L V8 pumping out 430 hp — as much as the Vantage S — good for a top speed of 190 and a 0-60 time of just 4.6 seconds. Other notable features include carbon fiber and Kevlar seats, ten-spoke alloy wheels, your choice of six-speed manual or seven-speed Sportshift gearboxes, a throaty exhaust, an optional Bang & Olufsen audio system, and optional "club sports graphics packs" that add just a hint of fun to the car's otherwise staid (for a sports car) appearance.

Ferrari California T

For their first turbo-powered car in nearly three decades, the fine folks in Italy have pulled out all the stops, creating the beautiful Ferrari California T. Their new turbo-charged engine is a 3.9-liter V8, sporting 560 horsepower and 557 pound-feet of torque — that's considerably more than its naturally-aspirated predecessor — letting it accelerate from a stop to 62 in only 3.6 seconds. But its turbocharged power plant isn't the only interesting thing about this GT. It features a retractable hardtop that turns it into a convertible in 14 seconds, magnetic suspension, carbon-ceramic brakes, and much more.

Sometimes ordinary just won't do. Sometimes all you need is an American muscle car that is race-ready off the lot — ready to pull laps at the Nurbürgring that would make Porsche owners sweat. And for those times, Chevy has generously provided the 2014 Camaro Z28 ($74,000). While suitable for the street, this mad machine is every bit a race car, with a seven-liter LS7 motor capable of producing 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque. Massive Pirelli tires, aerodynamic enhancements throughout, huge ceramic brakes, a six-speed manual Tremec transmission, a forged steel crankshaft, and a 10.5-ounce dry-sump oil system are just a few of the bits of kit that make this Camaro scream for a piece of tarmac.

BXR Bailey Blade XTR

No matter your opinion on the existing crop of American so-called super cars, the guys bringing us the BXR Bailey Blade XTR ($TBA) felt there was something missing — and instead of continuing to search (or settling for something other than what they wanted), they built it. This two-door coupe started its life as a one-off garage build, and quickly turned into an aggressively-powered, light-weight, track-ready road car. Powered by the same engine as the Mustang, the 5.0-liter Coyote V8, and with the addition of two healthy turbochargers, it puts out 750 horsepower and 700 pound-feet of torque. Aerodynamic lines, all-wheel Brembo disk brakes, four-wheel SLA suspension, electric height adjustment shocks, and more make it feel great on the track and on the road.

The Nissan GT-R Nismo ($TBA) provides indisputable proof that you don't need to drop damn near a million bucks for a track-ready supercar. Underneath the hood, you'll find a 3.8-liter turbocharged V6 engine producing a ridiculous 600 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque, making it the fastest GT-R to date. A race-inspired suspension setup, exclusive Dunlop tires, a more rigid body structure, and significantly-improved aerodynamics make it an impressive beast on and off the track. Inside you'll find carbon-fiber Recaro racing seats, Alcantara details throughout, and red accents to dress it up. Overall what you get is an incredible sports car that's barely slower than rides likely costing four times its price. Not too shabby.
