Excellent photoshop on the convertible looks worlds better than the botched up job they made of the gullwing. Which I still like although the proportions and roofline are all wrong.

Hahaha…bringing up the dodge viper. C’mon guys. The Viper has the cheapest interior in the history of automobiles. It literally makes the GT-R’s interior look like Rolls Royce.

Even Viper owners realized it was crap and upgraded to the luxurious (in comparison) GT-R/Corvette. Not that any of these cars compete with the SLS in the first place…

I forgot to mention, I like the way it looks A LOT, even though it doesn’t have the cool doors, but I just hate how they marketed the SLS as the new gullwing but then came out with this!

The Viper will also whip it and its gull wing brothers ass…for a fraction of the price and turn just as many heads.

I don’t care about the doors, this looks much nicer than the coupe. The coupe is horribly inelegant from the waist up. I find the front end, the greenhouse and the rear end of the coupe look like their from 3 different cars. As a convertible it’s a far more cohesive as a design.

Uh, what exactly do those patent drawing leave to the imagination? Seems pretty clear to me…

So minus the hardtop and gullwing doors, it’s now just a REEEEEALY expensive Viper.

@ JakeK66

I think it’s because the back of the roof somewhat ruins the shape of the coupe. I agree with you.

Loves better than the coupe and I generally hate coverts.

and will it truly be worth that 1 used boxster more? I doubt it…

this will probably be 1 used porsche boxster more expensive than the hardtop gullwing. just food for thought

The dashed lines must be what is not included in the car, according to me. That means that the wheels and the interior will not be included in the price of the car. But that is silly. Ergo, I’m not trustworthy.

^ A little something to comment on.

Convertibles are nice, but the point of this car (as with the original) lies in the gullwing doors.
