Like the base XLR, the V-series version exists as a two-passenger coupe with a retractable hardtop that folds into the trunk area much like the new Volvo C70 and Mercedes-Benz SLK. With a push of the button on the center console, the roof requires a leisurely 29 seconds to lower and 28 seconds to raise (not counting the four seconds it takes to power up the side windows).
