Convertibles have long provided an open-air experience shared only with motorboats or motorcycles. Convertible cars give a sense of freedom and excitement. Still, cloth-top convertibles also present a safety risk both in structural design and theft ability. 

On the other hand, Hardtop convertibles offer the best of both worlds, offering an open-air experience, all-weather protection, a more secure cabin, and the structural integrity of a fixed roof. Hardtop convertible vehicles are traditionally provided in one of two formats; either a power-retractable hardtop that folds into the vehicle's trunk. Or a hardtop that detaches as a single piece and must be stored elsewhere, such as a garage. 

Hardtop convertibles are becoming increasingly harder to find with popular models such as the BMW Z4, BMW 4 series, Mercedes-Benz SL-class, and Mercedes-Benz SLK converting to soft-top only options in the 2022 model year. Although difficult, we have put together a list below of the eight best hardtop convertibles for 2021-2022 to suit a wide range of budgets.

### 1. 2022 Chevrolet Corvette

![2022-chevrolet-corvette-ext](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/1ZXkD6zBERKxwjKTtnVnjt/7ee726e39568c602dac462dfa3f6cd2e/2022-chevrolet-corvette-ext.jpg)

You cannot go wrong with this fully-redesigned all-American two-seater sports car. There are two convertible Corvette options for 2021; a traditional soft top and a hardtop coupe with a removable roof panel. With either Corvette, you will enjoy responsive handling, attractive supercar styling, and a new upgrade in engine position that is sure to impress.

What makes this sports car stand out is the spacious interior. Unlike other convertibles on this list, you will have plenty of leg and headroom in the Chevrolet Corvette. There is also ample storage space. You could easily take your Corvette on an epic road trip with your luggage in the trunk.

Chevy has achieved the impossible by providing you with a hair-raising car when you want it to be and laid back when you need it to be. This two-seater boasts a mid-engined 490 horsepower V8 paired with a dual-clutch eight-speed automatic transmission. These features make it perfect for commuting around the city during the week and taming the open road on the weekend.

### 2. 2021 McLaren 570S Spider

![2021-mclaren-570S-spider-ext](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/4D7CHvAhQNsaTMeVXLg4CR/15332754acb26f0ba153de7c0033a8d7/2021-mclaren-570S-spider-ext.jpg)

If you are ready to invest in a rare convertible, consider the McLaren 570 Spider equipped with a retractable hardtop built from a carbon mono cell tub structure. The McLaren 570 is also offered in a coupe variant. The retractable roof hardtop takes 15 seconds and transforms the 570 into a top-down cruising machine. The motor operating the hardtop roof allows for adjustments while driving up to 25 mph.

Powering this supercar is a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-8 that has been tuned to produce 562 horsepower. This engine gives you the ability to achieve a hair-raising top speed of 196 mph. The storage space offered is carpeted for a finished look for the entire interior of the car. Unlike the newly popular Chevrolet Corvette, the cargo area in the McLaren is low profile, limiting how much you can stow in it.

Lift the butterfly doors and slip inside, and admire the ample amount of luxurious materials at your fingertips. The interior is filled with hand-stitched leather, Alcantra, and genuine carbon fiber. Everywhere you turn, there is expert craftsmanship to marvel.

![2022-ferrari-portofino-m-ext](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/3eMlhTQR7NSr4e1sdb3hU8/430456a22adf3c41df2a37b57f59e758/2022-ferrari-portofino-m-ext.jpg)

If you have the choice, why not choose to drive a convertible from a company known for producing some of the top supercars in the world? The Ferrari Portofino has a power-retractable hardtop that stows away in 15 seconds. Then you are ready to hit the gas and power up the twin-turbo V8 that can achieve zero to 60 mph in just over three seconds.

![2022-ferrari-portofino-m-int](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/2VXVDQHYr2zwaQ9IrNxHmo/471e09625e20852e94309f05678182fa/2022-ferrari-portofino-m-int.jpg)

There is very little storage space, but then Ferrari has never been known for their accommodations. A pleasant surprise is the fuel economy. Despite the powerful engine, the Portofino achieves real-world gas mileage at 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway.

You will appreciate the luxury Ferrari has built into the interior. The sumptuous leather will wrap around you as you sink into the perfect driving position with the 18-way power-adjustable seats. There is a large 10.3-inch touch screen with an infotainment system that makes the Portofino feel modern.

### 4. 2022 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS

![2022-porsche-targa-4-gts-ext](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/54MnY1QrJlqvaDlrc8dAJS/858714f771f0e2a28b8d9794ac8acf97/2022-porsche-targa-4-gts-ext.jpg)

There is a reason Porsche continually ranks at the top of luxury sports car rankings. The Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS series convertible is sure to impress you with its roaring engine performance, high-quality interior, and agile handling. This little Roadster may not have a lot of cabin room, but all you have to do is hit the button for the folding hardtop, and you will have all of the headroom in the world. Porsche offers a gorgeous interior with quad bucket seats, leather upholstery, and authentic carbon fiber accents throughout the cabin.

![2022-porsche-targa-4-gts-int](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/22CQwqJjhVmRCycDwExq5h/6d57ac954f3c532ba82600f1de71d5ce/2022-porsche-targa-4-gts-int.jpg)

The 2022 911 Targa 4 GTS is equipped with a twin-turbo six-cylinder V6 engine that produces 473 horsepower and offers an all-wheel-drive (AWD) drivetrain standard. Porsche still allows you to choose a seven-speed manual transmission, but the standard Targa 4 GTS is equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

### 5. 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF

![2021-mazda-mx5-miata-rf-ext](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/2l6u1R8Xg3eCyWBrTHPm4m/75239b8ae014804db3bc641310f3a7d6/2021-mazda-mx5-miata-rf-ext.jpg)

Other hardtop convertibles are called sports cars; the Mazda MX-5 meets the definition of a sports car. This little rear-wheel-drive Roadster could be better described as a grand touring (GT) car. It is not the most powerful of cars on this list, but this means you can go all out and push the car to its limits while on the road. The Miata is offered in both an automatic transmission and six-speed manual transmission.

![2021-mazda-mx5-miata-rf-int](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/1OztkXUrF0oAlExTFF5YDE/d2da2a43eeaaaa1bf6f6d8ec4b4a6930/2021-mazda-mx5-miata-rf-int.jpg)

The roof panel is a power-retractable hardtop (PRHT) that neatly folds away with a simple button push. Unlike soft-top sports cars, once this hardtop is closed, it is virtually indistinguishable from the fixed-roof model. The interior of this Mazda MX-5 Miata RF is a bit small, which means the storage space is limited. A small cabin paired with a minimalist approach to interior materials and styling reduces the car's weight. It helps it to be more agile and responsive. Mazda keeps things simple, helping keep pricing down, and in fact, offers the least expensive hardtop convertible on this list.

### 6. 2022 Jeep Wrangler

![2022-jeep-wrangler-ext](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/2Vjc60H0MdLVBC7ROsv2fq/bf129aefc7fa5db41a4eb764330d9bce/2022-jeep-wrangler-ext.jpg)

Not all hardtop convertible models are supercars or roadsters. The Jeep Wrangler is an iconic SUV with a removable roof panel that technically makes it a convertible. Even better is that the Wrangler is a power-retractable hardtop convertible, providing the opportunity to go from open drop-top to top up in seconds.

![2022-jeep-wrangler-int](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/711SwNjqAuMi7lU7kk0c2x/bb0f5240ddf488670668dbd337776424/2022-jeep-wrangler-int.jpg)

Unlike other convertibles on this list, you can conquer off-road trails in your Jeep Wrangler. In a Jeep Wrangler, you can off-road from spacious and supportive cabin seating similar to that found in the Wrangler's automotive cousin, the Chrysler 200. The provided manual transmission gives you driving versatility and the ability to climb hills, rocks, and rough terrain.

The Wrangler is outfitted with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that provides plenty of exploration power while also producing impressive fuel economy ratings. The Wrangler achieves an outstanding mpg rating of 20 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway. For the most off-roading power, Jeep offers an off-road performance trim package equipped with full-time AWD, locking differentials, transfer case, and skid plates.

### 7. 2022 Ford Bronco

![2022-ford-bronco-ext](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/7t00yCjNmxYOT71N6Da0Bb/ce8db35337a9b545f4ee4869fb4ebf91/2022-ford-bronco-ext.jpg)

The Ford Bronco is another hardtop convertible on this list that is not a sports car but a purpose-built SUV. The new Ford Bronco offers an impressive 32.5 cubic feet of storage space, making it perfect for families or those who need the storage capacity. The interior throughout the Bronco is spacious, with plenty of head and legroom for all passengers. The Bronco has a higher profile driver's seat providing a commanding view of the road and terrain around you. Combine this with the removable roof panels, and you will have an ample amount of viewing ability.

![2022-ford-bronco-int](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/7oRoFQM5to5mmlBD2XYNQ6/1b1acaaccf983f7a02239d7f6a5fd886/2022-ford-bronco-int.jpg)

You will find luxury lacking in the Bronco, with the interior better-suited for a rugged lifestyle. Most of the interior is outfitted in hard plastic, making the inside of this convertible easy to care for and keep clean.

Performance is awe-inspiring in the Ford Bronco with a standard 270-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a four-wheel drive (4WD) drivetrain. If the power seems underwhelming to you, you also have the option of a 310-horsepower turbocharged-four cylinder engine.

### 8. 2022 Tesla Roadster

![2022-tesla-roadster-ext](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/4T5I5hKDptJ5HHourXhEDr/6b64b2d733bfd2895098a4cc6a7ee558/2022-tesla-roadster-ext.jpg)

You may not recall, but Tesla offered a roadster as its first production vehicle back in 2008. The second-generation Tesla Roadster is built to blow the first generation out of the water. Though it's still in concept form at the moment, Tesla is promising the second-generation Roadster will built to beat any production car ever made off the line, with a blisteringly quick 1.9 second 0-60mph time. Even though you can not go to your local dealership and purchase the new Tesla Roadster, you can preorder the new Roadster on Tesla's website today.

The second-generation Tesla Roadster will not just beat any car off the line, it also offers seating for four, a removable glass panel roof, 620 miles of range on a single charge, and a top speed of over 250 mph. The Roadster is equipped with a three-motor Plaid powertrain that features one front and two rear electric motors with an 800-1,000 horsepower total output. Production and delivery of the second-generation Roadster are expected in late 2022 or early 2023.
