Bigger, Spacious and Lighter The new luxury cabriolet is bigger than most outgoing models; this luxury convertible is one of the lightest cabriolets out there, all thanks to the aluminium bonnet and other aluminium body panels. These cabriolets are lighter than outgoing models even with the increase in width and length in the new model.The acoustic roof will enable the hood to close in less than 18 seconds at the press of a button, provided that the car is travelling at a speed of 50km/h or less. The roof provides for a pleasant drive when closed because the fabric comes with an optimised insulation that reduces the already low noise level of this luxury convertible. The soft top is offered in black as standard, but you can choose between grey and brown. When the top of this cabriolet is opened, the top rests in a tray that does not affect the luggage size; which can be up to 275 litres. The luggage capacity can be increased further via the rear seat trimmed as an alternative with a snowboard bag. An exterior aluminium strip that runs around the entire car is included as well. The all-new luxury cabriolet’s active rollover protection system protects the occupants in case the vehicle rolls over. The protection system consists of 2 plates that form part of the body of this luxury convertible.
