What is a Convertible Sports Car?
1 Answers
Hard-top convertibles and soft-top convertibles have certain differences, but both can open their roofs to enjoy the sun. Below are relevant introductions: Hard-top Convertible: Hard-top convertibles offer better protective capabilities, providing more safety advantages compared to soft-top convertibles. However, they still fall short of the structural integrity of regular sedans because the folding convertible top is not a single-piece structure, leading to some weaknesses in impact resistance. Quality: Hard-top convertibles are lighter in weight and have relatively lower maintenance costs, making them more price-competitive. Soft tops are typically made of fabric material, significantly reducing weight compared to metal roofs. Additionally, the rear window of a soft top is usually made of plastic, which is much lighter than the glass used in hard tops. The overall lighter weight naturally results in superior fuel efficiency.
