2018 BMW i8 Spyder
The BMW i8 is undoubtedly one of the best looking supercars out there. The car that looks from the future was first showcased as the BMW Vision Dynamics concept and it would be safe to say that much of those conceptual lines made it to the production version as well. Now, as promised, BMW is working on the droptop version of the i8 and the first spy shots of the convertible have managed to make its way online. Following the footsteps of the coupe, the BMW i8 convertible started life as the i8 Concept Spyder in 2012, while the German carmaker also revealed the tech laden i8 Viison Future Interaction Concept at the Consumer Electronics Show last year that further gave insight on what the roofless supercar will look like. Unsurprisingly, the BMW i8 Spyder wears heavy camouflage, but it’s not really difficult to decipher the model given its unique styling. The chopped off roof on the prototype is clearly visible, and looks quite aesthetic as well. What really doesn’t fit in the ensemble though is as to how BMW plans to fit a roof there. That’s something we will need more spy shots to understand. That said, the upcoming i8 Spyder will be more than just a roofless version of the coupe sibling.The BMW i8 coupe is due for a facelift later this year and the new i8 Spyder will be introduced in 2018 with the updated design. Expect to see subtle changes to the futuristic styling on the model, while there will be updated list of features on the convertible. If the recent speculations are to be believed, the BMW i8 facelift will also see a marginal bump in power by 15 bhp, pushing the total output from the petrol and electric motor to 372 bhp. Another update on the hybrid supercar will be a much larger 10 kwh batter pack from the Formula E safety car that will replace the 7.1 kwh battery. This, in return, should see an improved range on the convertible. Further upgrades include improved suspension setup with revised springs and dampers; while the chassis will also be tweaked with extra reinforcements to compensate for the absence of a roof. Also, going by BMW’s current nomenclature, it is likely that the manufacturer will badge the convertible as the i8 ‘Roadster’ instead. The BMW i8 is already on sale in India, so needless to say the i8 convertible will also be introduced here. That said, it will be i8 facelift that will be coming in first though while the convertible can be expected soon, after its global debut.
2018 Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster
The AMG GT roadster comes in two versions: There’s a standard GT, rated at 469 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque; it charges from zero to 60 mph in a claimed 3.9 seconds and tops out at a governed 188 mph; above that, AMG is launching a new power and equipment level, the GT C, which sits above the GT S but below the GT R versions of the coupe. (Mercedes is mum on the subject of a GT C hardtop.) The GT C roadster makes 550 horsepower and 502 lb-ft of torque, it’s said to hit 60 mph in 3.7 seconds, and the governor is reprogrammed to 196 mph. We suspect AMG wants to save the 200-plus-mph software for a Black Series version, which is sure to hit showrooms eventually. All AMG GT models are powered by the same twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8, internally code-named M178. The roadster sits atop the same chassis that forms the basis of the remarkably capable AMG GT coupe. The GT C further adds to its capabilities by fitting a number of enhancements that surpass even the GT S coupe, because they’re taken from the GT R. They include rear-wheel steering, which turns the rear wheels in the opposite direction of the front wheels at lower speeds, and in the same direction at 62 mph and above, to enhance agility and high-speed stability.The GT C roadster also comes with an electronically controlled limited-slip differential, whereas the regular GT roadster lacks that feature. The gearing of the GT C’s seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is revised, and the drive mode selector offers an additional Race mode. A lithium-ion battery saves valuable pounds. And perhaps most obviously, the AMG GT C roadster is wider—by a whopping 2.3 inches.
