The convertible body style has always represented the concept of open-top motoring, and the transition from ICE powertrains does not mean this body style is dead. Rather, here are the dozen electric convertible cars we expect on the market over the next three years.
Denza Z
The Denza Z is a four-seat convertible grand tourer from BYD’s luxury brand, featuring a soft-top retractable roof. It has a fluidic body with headlights reminiscent of the Aventador, a visibly low bonnet with cooling ducts, and slim, lozenge-shaped taillights.
The interior follows a sporty layout without excessive minimalism, unlike most other models across BYD brands. Exposed carbon-fiber trim, buttons and dials for selecting drive mode and performing other key functions, and bucket seats establish a driver-focused, performance-oriented interior.
Packing more than 1,000 hp from a quad-motor setup, the Denza Z hits 0 to 62 mph in less than 2.0 seconds. The electric GT features the DiSus-M magnetorheological suspension from the Yangwang U9 hypercar, second-gen Blade battery with Flash Charging support, and a steer-by-wire system.
Launch Date: 2027 (UK)
Expected Price: Estimated over $136,000 (UK)
New MG Cyberster variant
MG is considering new versions of the Cyberster to elevate its appeal to a wider audience. In an interview with Auto Express, Jozef Kaban, the Vice President of the company’s global design, hinted at a new derivative targeted at driving enthusiasts, with major weight reduction measures that significantly improve its dynamics.
Launch Date: 2027 (UK)
Price: Expected to be over $62,000 (estimated)
New Maserati GranCabrio Folgore
Introduced in April 2024, the Maserati GranCabrio Folgore is likely to receive a facelift in early 2027. Road-testing of the refreshed version is underway, spy shots have revealed.
The 2027 GranCabrio Folgore will likely come with a restyled front bumper, a redesigned air intake grille, and a new rear diffuser. Inside, Maserati may introduce a new digital instrument cluster and a new infotainment system, both based on the STLA SmartCockpit platform.
New options for the paint, wheels, and interior color scheme may also be among the changes. Maserati will likely make an effort to bring the GranCabrio Folgore’s EPA-est. range from currently 229 miles to somewhere between 240 and 250 miles.
Launch Date: Early 2027 (estimated)
Price: Around $210,000 (estimated)
Audi Concept C
The Audi Concept C, introduced in September 2025, will spawn a new driving enthusiast-focused roadster straddling the TT and R8 segments.
Speaking to Autocar at the world premiere, Gernot Döllner explicitly stated this car won’t be a successor to the TT and suggested that the company will decide its name closer to launch, scheduled in 2027.
The production version of the Audi Concept C will be based on an adapted iteration of the Porsche 718 Electric series’ PPE Sport platform. The battery pack will be placed behind the seats, aimed at mimicking the mid-engined layout of a conventional sports car. Like the concept, the final version that hits the roads should feature an electrically retractable hardtop.
Release Date: 2027
New Tesla Roadster
The next-gen Tesla Roadster is the most anticipated electric convertible car. Tesla has hinted at radical engineering and performance capabilities for the second-gen model, which, unlike the previous one, is being designed and engineered fully in-house.
The future model is likely to hit 0-60 mph as quickly as 1.1 seconds, with a so-called ‘SpaceX package’ that adds around ten small rocket thrusters.
Tesla will likely unveil the next-gen Roadster by June 2026, and begin sales in mid-2027. The upcoming model’s design is likely to be quite different from the working prototype first showcased in 2017.
Release Date: Mid-2027
Price: From $200,000
Polestar 6
The Polestar 6 will be the production version of the Polestar O₂ concept unveiled in March 2022. It will be a hard-top electric roadster sitting on a bespoke bonded aluminum platform adapted from the 5. It will borrow the electric sedan’s 800-volt battery pack as well.
The top-end configuration will sport two motors that generate a combined power of 650 kW (871 hp) and a combined torque of 900 Nm (664 lb.-ft.). Polestar expects a 0-62 mph sprint to take 3.2 seconds and the top speed to be 155 mph in this configuration.
Price: Polestar 6 reservations opened exclusively for a $200,000-launch edition called LA Concept on August 16, 2022.
Release Date: According to an Auto Express report, Polestar is prioritizing mass-market models and no longer plans to start sales of the 6 before 2029.
Porsche 718 Boxster Electric
Porsche informed investors in the prospectus for its IPO on September 19, 2022, that it is investing in the Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen plant in preparation for the launch of the 718 Boxster Electric.
The 718 Boxster Electric appears to have a longer wheelbase, which could be an essential upgrade over the gas-powered current Boxster to clear up room for a battery pack similar to the Porsche Mission R’s 82 kWh unit. It has charging ports in the middle of the rear bumper and even in the front trunk.
A week after Porsche management tested the 718 EV at the beginning of March 2026, CEO Dr. Michael Leiters said during the company’s annual analyst and investor conference that “it is a great car and people are doing a great job working on that.”
Release date: 2026
Price: $85,000 (estimated)
Rolls-Royce Project Nightingale
The Rolls-Royce Project Nightingale is the brand’s first all-electric convertible and the first model under its new Coachbuild Collection. At 226.8 inches, it is nearly as long as the standard-wheelbase Phantom and anything but a mere drop-top version of the all-electric Spectre.
The Project Nightingale has an upright front in true Rolls-Royce fashion, centered around the signature Pantheon Grille and distinctively designed slim, vertical headlamps reminiscent of classic cars.
The side profile reveals a long hood, a dramatically raked windshield, a compact passenger cell, and a fast-sloping tail section. At the rear, the split lamps mirror the vertical alignment of the headlamps but extend from the upper surface to the lower section in an angled form.
The interior of the Project Nightingale focuses on opulent styling and fine craftsmanship rather than digitalization and electronic features. The new electric convertible is strictly a two-seater, with sales limited to 100 units worldwide.
Release Date: 2028 (estimated)
Price: $9.5 million (estimated)
BMW i4 Cabriolet
A BMW i4 Cabriolet is coming in 2028, as per Bimmerpost forum member ynguldyn. It will be a part of the next-gen BMW i4 family which will begin as a coupe.
Codenamed BMW NA2, the i4 Cabriolet will be a Neue Klasse EV, featuring the sixth-gen eDrive, a new software platform, and new sustainability measures.
Thanks to cylindrical cells that are lighter and offer 20% more energy density and 30% enhanced range compared to the currently used prismatic cells, BMW could be able to keep the i4 relatively light despite its folding roof mechanism and reinforcements.
BMW will reportedly manufacture the i4 Cabriolet in Germany, starting in July 2028.
Release Date: 2028 (estimated)
Price: $65,000 (estimated)
Jeep Recon
The Jeep Recon, the first of the Jeep electric SUVs coming to the U.S., will offer open-air freedom with a one-touch power top. It will feature removable doors and glass as well.
The Jeep Recon combines two 250 kW motors, one on each axle, which results in 650 hp of system power and 620 lb.-ft. of total torque and enables a 0-60 mph sprint in as little as 3.6 seconds. A 100 kWh battery pack with an operating voltage of 400 volts powers these motors, giving the EV a Jeep-estimated range of up to 250 miles.
The Recon is an off-road-focused EV with a 33.8º approach angle, a 33.1º departure angle, a 23.3º breakover angle, and up to 9.1 inches of ground clearance with available 33-inch tires. It will come with Selec-Terrain traction management system, an electronic locking differential, and low-speed Selec-Speed Control as well.
Release Date: Q2 2026
Price: $65,000 (estimated)
Alpine A110 Roadster
Alpine has confirmed that its future 7-model EV line-up will include an electric roadster derived from the next-gen A110, which will sit on the Alpine Performance Platform (APP). It says APP is flexible, so its length and width can be changed as needed.
According to a report Automotive News Europe released on July 13, 2023, Alpine has told investors and journalists that APP will be a bonded aluminum chassis, similar to the Polestar 6.
Alpine also revealed the specifics of APP’s flexibility during the conversation with investors and journalists, saying it’s possible to increase the length by up to 420 mm and the track width by 80 mm.
APP-based EVs will measure 4,300-4,850 mm in length and 1,300-1,550 mm in width. They will have 77-100 kWh battery packs operating at 800 volts and powertrains generating 250-500 kW. We should learn more at the 2026 Paris Motor Show this October.
Release Date: 2027
Alpine A310 Roadster
According to a report from Auto Express, Alpine plans to launch a drop-top version of not only the A110 but also the larger A310, which will be positioned as a Porsche 911 rival.
Road-testing of the A310’s coupe version is underway, with a launch scheduled in 2028. The convertible derivative should follow a few months later.
