Wikipedia
cabriolet
A convertible or cabriolet () is a passenger car that can be driven with or without a roof in place. The methods of retracting and storing the roof vary among eras and manufacturers. A convertible car's design allows an open-air driving experience, with the ability to provide a roof when required. A potential drawback of convertibles is their reduced structural rigidity (requiring significant engineering and modification to counteract the effects of removing a car's roof).The majority of convertible roofs are of a folding construction framework with the actual top made from cloth or other fabric. Other types of convertible roofs include retractable hardtops (often constructed from metal or plastic) and detachable hardtops (where a metal or plastic roof is manually removed and often stored in the trunk).

A cabriolet is a type of car with a folding or detachable roof that allows it to convert from an enclosed vehicle to an open-air one. It is also known as a convertible car. The term originated from a light, two-wheeled horse-drawn vehicle with a folding hood, however, it is predominantly used in modern times to describe this specific type of car.
