We found the 503 hp variant to be one of the best all-round performance drop-tops under six figures.

Toggling a switch on the center console triggers a choreographed ballet of panels, hinges and fabric that sees the roof retract in a mere 18 seconds, and at speeds up to 31 mph. Top down makes it all the better for hearing the tailpipe symphony that erupts from the wonderfully vocal 3.0-liter, twin-turbo straight-six mill as it slingshots the car from standstill to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds.
