Abstract
A convertible vehicle has a central roof part which, in the closed position, is supported at the front windshield frame and extends essentially horizontally to a rear roof region with a rear window and which can be shifted into an open position, which frees regions of the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The rear roof region is constructed as a roof shell part, which remains above the vehicle parapet line even when the central roof part is in the open position.
