you can call them whatever you want...my old diablo was listed as a coupe on the registration and sales documents...so thats good enough for me....btw the F50 has both a solid top and removable roof section and its not called an F50 Roadster...IMO its a manufacturers decision....Ferrari have their "TS" model which stands for "Transversale Spider" you could call this a Roadster as well....as its exactly the same design as my Diablo VT Roadster....also Ferrari have TB (Transversale Berlinetta) or Hardtop and of course the spider soft top.....for these models also....I cant see how "pagani and lambo" are wrong...they made the cars... they can call them whatever they want....plus I dont think they would make that sort of mistake some how....
