Bentley Conti Convertible
They will sell a bazillion of these. Wish I had one next to the Miata for those long drives down to Austin.
The car is powered by the 551 hp, twin-turbo W12 mated to a ZF 6-speed automatic transmission.
With a top speed in excess of 190mph, an all-wheel drive system, 12-cylinder engine, air suspension and ultra-stiff body structure, the Continental GTC promises all the poise and exhilarating performance of the Continental GT.
Not exactly a sports car, but damn desirable nonetheless.

Top Gear had a segment on the new Conti this past Wednesday. Their take: it's good car, but it's too detached and soulless to be a great car.
I'm sure this will impress the lads down at the country club, but I think I'd want something a little more engaging and visceral for my $300k+. Maybe a 575M SuperAmerica, or a slightly used Carrera GT.

You gotta love that VW Twin Turbo W12 engine though...
a DB9 would also be a nice choice.
I need one for my new rap video!
If you are not living on the edge ...
you're taking up too much space!
