Mini Roadster

Unlike the last Lamborghini crash we reported on, the driver of this 2008 Murcielago roadster decided to come clean about his careless and expensive accident rather than abandon his exotic car and mysteriously flee the scene. According to reports, the Lambo valued at around $200,000 (over $400K new), nearly flipped over as it dangerously spun out onto ...

A few things have changed since the Spartan V track car was announced almost three years ago. Back in 2010, the red open-top sportscar from Australia was slated to be a 300 kg (661-pound) apex-hugger with 170 horsepower coming from a 1,200-cc Ducati engine. The slinky red bodywork remains, but the engine now comes from Honda: a 2.0-litre four-cylinder ...

Rolls-Royce may be working on a new, mega-powerful roadster for 2017. CAR reports the convertible would conceivably boast a V16 engine. Of course, the report gets a little muddled here, with CAR saying the engine would be very similar to that of the one that powers the Bugatti Veyron. We all know the French machine makes use of a W16 mill. Even so, the ...

Well, that happened quickly. The US$441,600 (Canadian pricing to follow) Lamborghini Aventador Roadster is, according to reports, already sold out in every market around the world until at least the middle of 2014. Boasting a 6.5-litre V12 that churns out a heady 690 horsepower, there's little wondering why the cars are so popular. But with its finicky ...

It looks like 2012 was certainly the year of the MINI for Autoblog Canada. After a trio of press events and more than few press loaners, we were behind the wheel of nearly every conceivable body style and trim offered. Earlier this year we had a chance to flog the Cooper S Coupe, then Cooper S Roadster and later on JCW versions of both two-seaters. While ...

During an event for what we'll assume are potential buyers for the just-unveiled Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster, a rep demonstrated the installation of the two-piece, 13-pound carbon fiber roof. Guests were told that two people could install both panels in less than a minute. Backing up the claim, it took the rep about two minutes to do it by ...

This morning, Lamborghini has announced the newest member of its supercar family, the stunningly sexy Aventador LP700-4 Roadster. With more than 1,300 Aventador coupes sold to date, Lamborghini believes it will find strong demand for the convertible version. The Roadster's roof is a two-piece affair, made from carbon fiber and weighing in at just over 13 ...

Believe it or not, despite the fact that Mazda first unveiled its refreshed 2013 MX-5 Miata in July of this year, the 2012 Paris Motor Show in late September is the first time we've run across the iconic sports car in the metal. And so we wasted no time in filling our DSLRs with a full spate of images. As you can see, while we eagerly await the ...

Much is expected of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata, primarily significant weight savings and a bit more power. The new roadster will be co-developed with Alfa Romeo as part of a joint-venture agreed upon last May. A report in What Car? suggests that that Mazda's benefits won't be limited to the hard bits, claiming that personalization possibilities ...

Veteran And Rookie Roadsters Face Off In Droptop Doubleheader Like an aging ballplayer, the Mazda is starting to look a little gray around the temples – a bit vulnerable. We've been eying this fight for a long time. Since the reborn Mini first burst on the scene in 2002, really. Oh, the Mini Cooper Convertible has been around since 2005, ...
