And how about some video as well?

Open Warfare – Aston V8 Vantage Roadster vs Porsche 911 Targa 4S vs Mercedes SL63 AMG – New Feature
The best way to ruin a performance coupe? In the past the answer has always been to simply chop off its roof. Undeterred Aston, Mercedes and Porsche claim open air thrills and dynamic resolve aren’t mutually exclusive.
We take three fresh-air models from each of them and drive them through Wales. In December. Foolhardy you might think, but if they fail to appeal in this most scenic British principality, then what hope is there in the gridlocked cities where most of them will naturally reside.
