Curb Zone - View Single Post - Report: SLR Roadster "well on its way to production"

Unless the SLR roadster is a targa type vehicle in the likes of Carrera GT, where the rear hoops actually serve as a C (or actually B) pillar of sorts, and they retain the entire door frame as is in the coupe. Thus, the only difference would be that the top section of the roof would be removable/retractable, leaving the vehicle as stiff as the coupe. We already know that Carrera GT of a similar architecture is one of the stiffest cars torsionally.
