CABRIOLET

I tell about cabriolet this article. Plus and minus and facts.

Construction

Modern convertibles are cars that are equipped with a folding soft or hard roof made of vinyl or cloth. As a rule, convertibles are created on the basis of ready-made sedans, hatchbacks or coupes and are equipped with two or four doors.

Freedom

A convertible is a car that is the dream of many car enthusiasts. It is the convertible that can be considered a symbol of freedom, high speed and special enjoyment of the road. All over the world, the convertible is a symbol of high position in society and prosperity.

Drawbacks

Don't (well, even temporarily removed) roof deprives you of protection. For example, a pack of stray dogs on the street, embarrassed by the appearance of your car, will bark at you with special enthusiasm. And there is no guarantee that a particularly inspired dog will not try to bite your hand by jumping to the height of the low side.

From the overtaking truck, you can inadvertently get a cigarette butt or the middle of an apple on your head.

The main disadvantage of this class of car is that it is not at all suitable for winter and bad weather. When it's cold outside, it is almost impossible to drive in such a car, even with the roof closed.

Fact

In 1956, the Stuttgart-based designer Egon Brütsch presented a tiny but fully-fledged single-seater Brutsch Mopetta to the public. A 49 cc engine with a capacity of 2.3 hp, a scooter steering wheel - on the left handle - gear shifting and clutch, on the right - gas and brake. Additionally, there was also a brake pedal. The motor starts up with a cord like a chainsaw. Only 14 cars were produced in total.
