2010 BMW M6 CONVERTIBLE

The BMW M6 convertible offers top-down motoring with the same exceptional performance and handling of the M6 coupe. Power comes from BMW's 500 horsepower V10 engine developed for F1 racing, and the convertible is equipped with the high-tech suspension and performance modifications of the M6 coupe, as well as the same extensive list of 21st century automotive innovations as available on the other 6-Series models.
At 4400 pounds, the M6 isn't as svelte as some of its competitors, but the high-revving engine is more than capable of moving that much weight in a spirited manner, with zero to sixty times in the low five second range and electronically limited top speed well beyond what can be achieved on a track. On the other hand, gas mileage in the V10 is rated at only 11 mpg city and 17 highway.
