Top Ten Powerful Convertibles

We have compiled a list of ten best convertibles, not according to their tops but according to their engine powers. Several other features are also considered in order to make a list, but all are directly associated with the engine power.

Some of them work to control the power; some of them work to let the power passed through them, such as gearbox helps in shifting the power over the wheels and braking system helps the vehicle to stop it.
