English term or phrase: droptop

The 360 line is Ferrari's cheapest, but its price of entry is still four or five times the average American salary. One of the choicest, priciest 360's--a vehicle line that includes coupes such as the high-performance 360 Challenge Stradale--is the 360 Modena Spider convertible in F1 trim. The 360 Modena Spider--Ferrari's only convertible--features the same 3.6-liter, 400-horsepower V-8 as the 360 coupe, but incorporates sexy, old-school droptop looks.
试译：
360系列是法拉利家族中最便宜的，不过其入门价仍是普通美国人年薪的四五倍。在包括高性能的360 Challenge Stradale等双门车在内的360系列当中，性价比最高的其中一款是采用F1装饰的360摩德纳蜘蛛敞篷车。作为法拉利唯一的一款敞篷车，360摩德纳蜘蛛拥有与360双门车同样的3.6升400匹马力的V8引擎，但具有性感而又古典的？？？造型。

谢谢！
谢谢提供的链接，我想这恐怕是与droptop最接近的解释了。查了许多资料和辞典，仍无果，郁闷：（
PS：其实笼络地译成“敞篷车”应该也是可以的了。
