The P1 is supposed to be a hardcore top of the line expression of engineering. A convertible would compromise the weight, structural rigidity, and aero. That is why it might not have been chosen.

If what McLaren says of the 650S Spyder is correct, it would not compromise structural rigidity due to the Carbon fiber tub that they use (which is the same tub that's used in the P1).

You are correct on the other counts, however.

I can understand your point but the question, as I understood it, was what cars would be amazing as convertibles. Personally, I think even with the extra weight and reduction in rigidity (though slight) and aero that it would be an amazing convertible but maybe that's just me.

Convertibles are for Barbie dolls and flamboyant extroverts. Hard tops are hard core.
