Abstract
The invention relates to a cabriolet car () comprising a roof provided with a flexible cover () at least in the rear part thereof, wherein the cover () being in a closed position can be tensionally supported with respect to a body () with the aid of a tension bow (). In order to open the roof (), the tension bow () is displaced to the closed position thereof, wherein said bow is arranged on a closed support element (A) of the body (), first upward (AS) and, when the support element is open, backward (RS) and subsequently to the open position, wherein said tension bow is arranged under the plan of the closed support element (A) being displaced downwards (AV). Said invention provides for a first displacement center () for displacing the tension bow () upwards and backwards (AS, RS) and a separate second displacement center for displacing said tension bow downward (AV). When the tension bow is displaced downwards rotating around the second displacement center, the displacement thereof around the first displacement center () is inhibited.
