Try to limit your exposure to direct sunlight as well, if you can, and always use a high factor sunscreen if you live in a sunny climate.That’s where convertible chop-shops like Newport Convertible Engineering step in. The folks at NCE will take just about any automobile and turn it into a custom cabrio to a buyer’s specifications.Specialized in taking the head off of virtually any car, Newport Convertible Engineering has converted the CL-Class AMG coupe into an amazing convertible with a soft top. Can’t say for sure if it’s the $150k CL63 AMG or the $200k+ CL65 AMG, but the owner is definitely filthy rich to afford such a mod for his ride.

The Bertone Mantide is a supercar based on the Corvette ZR1 which has been stripped of its body and given a custom body. The Mantide is designed by Jason Castriota who designed the Ferrari 599 GTB and Maserati GranTurismo.

The Bertone Mantide is powered by the same supercharged six point two liter supercharged engine as the ZR1 but features a radical new design.By creating the Mantide’s body shell in carbon fiber, they were able to shave off 220 lbs from the already lightweight ZR1 allowing it to rocket to 62mph in 3.2 seconds .Only ten examples of the Mantide will be made by Bertone making each one a highly sought after and exclusive car.
