The Chrysler Sebring Convertible was introduced in 1996 as a replacement for the Chrysler LeBaron Convertible. Though it shares its name with the Mitsubishi-based Sebring coupe introduced in 1995, the Sebring convertible is actually based on the Chrysler Cirrus sedan and features entirely unique sheet metal. The Sebring Convertible was powered by either a 150-horsepower 2.4-liter twin overhead camshaft inline 4-cylinder engine, or an available 168-horsepower Mitsubishi-built 2.5-liter alloy-head overhead-camshaft V6 that could accelerate the Sebring Convertible from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 10.2 seconds, cover a quarter-mile in 17.4 seconds, and reach a top speed of 122 mile per hour. All Sebring Convertibles featured a four-speed automatic transmission, but in 1997 an AutoStick transmission was introduced that allowed gears to be shifted manually by moving the shifter from side to side. The Sebring Convertible's front seatbelts were integrated into the front seats, eliminating the need for a B-pillar and easing rear-seat access. The power convertible top could be lowered in just 10 seconds.
