Stars and Their Convertibles

This British DJ turned singer/songwriter was photographed in 2011 with this Ferrari F430. His F430 shows off an array of striking colors: the black wheels, the classic red paint and the tan interior.

With its top down, the Ferrari's spoiler helps create a striking profile that is sure to be noticed anywhere. The 458 has overshadowed the F430 recently, but the F430 is still good for zero to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph.

This actress's Continental GTC (get more details) has been photographed almost as much as she has over the past few years, raising the question, "Who is the star?"

The "Basic Instinct" actress (though we fell in love with her in "Total Recall") constantly gets snapped cruising in this sports car. It may speak of excess and the trappings of wealth, but it's hard to argue with a woman and a car that look so good together.

It may seem more than a bit ostentatious for the man who built a singing career off hits like "Kiss From a Rose" and "Crazy," but the singer popped up in a Bentley Azure in 2008 and it's one of his favorite rides. You can see the gold, $300,000-plus convertible coming from a mile away.

This former "High School Musical" star was seen early in 2011 with a shockingly grown-up Audi S5 Cabriolet. We had the brushes out and were ready to color ourselves impressed until pictures of the actress's S5 Cab with some serious dents in the rear hit the Internet.

Was the starlet a victim of a parking lot hit-and-run, or is she a secret and overly enthusiastic closet street racer? Only her claims adjuster knows for sure.

Say what you will about the man's acting abilities or his stewardship of the Golden State, but this "Governator" knows how to buy toys.

Among them is this limited-edition Bentley Continental Supersports. His brash, W12-powered Supersports pumps out 630 horsepower and features a black-on-black "murdered out" look. Better yet? It's the world's fastest convertible.

The English soccer — sorry — football superstar turned super sex symbol sold this beast in January 2011.

His 911 Turbo (see what our expert thinks of the convertible) was the epitome of cliché and celebrity: murdered-out matte-black finish, even on the wheels; rear-seat-mounted speakers (though points for the use of the 911's vestigial back bench); and the star's "23" logo everywhere it could fit — even in the center of the Porsche logo on the bonnet. What does?

This infamous pop star made headlines in 2006 when she was pictured with her infant son incorrectly seated in her MINI Cooper convertible, but for us the MINI was the headline.

The late '90s phenomenon has always had a thing for drop-tops (a Mercedes SL65 and CLK, a Porsche and a Jaguar XK8 over the years) but to see such an affordable, not to mention fun, choice made us smile.

Everything about a 6-foot-tall Aussie supermodel driving a gorgeous, iconic and rare British classic makes the world seem like a place where magic happens. Only 123 DB5 convertibles were made, and this cover model's is one of only 19 with left-hand drive.

This NBC TV host's car collection is legendary. Even so, this 1926 Bugatti Type 38A is a standout. It is the only American-bodied Bugatti ever; its bodywork was done by the famous Murphy Coachworks of Pasadena, Calif. The Type 38A's body styling is stunning in the cleanness of its lines, especially the flow of the front and rear fenders into empty space where the running boards normally would be. It's also the first of its kind with a supercharger fitted to its V8 engine.

It would be easy to poke fun at this hotel heiress for other decisions, but not her choice in cars. She owns a Bentley Continental GT, a Lexus LFA and a Ferrari California (read about its sweet backseats). That's a pretty respectable trio.

The "Grey's Anatomy" star is known for being a gearhead. What's less known is that the actor owns and drives for his own racing team, one that has made some serious noise recently on the American Le Mans Series circuit. Off the track, however, the actor has an affinity for classic Jaguars, including this dreamy E-Type. It's hard not to envy a man with such a blessed life, what with his classic cars, part-time racing career and wavy, just-gray-enough hair.

This ubiquitous presenter/host/DJ/producer/media overlord has a thing for expensive British wheels. Aside from a Bentley and a DB9 coupe, he can also be seen in a slick DB9 convertible.

The tacky body kit that has been added takes away a bit of the DB9's inherent elegance, but for a superrich Hollywood type who wants to reflect as much light as possible, it makes perfect sense.
