- "The Cog Cabrio is a top-end luxury car that combines elegance with performance. A car that says, 'I'm a man with money but also a modicum of taste'. A car that says, 'I'm not afraid to transfer $185,000 over an insecure internet connection to an unknown entity'. A car that says, 'You never accepted me, Dad, but look at me now'."
- ―Legendary Motorsport description.
The Enus Cognoscenti Cabrio is a two-door convertible vehicle in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Design
Grand Theft Auto V
The Cognoscenti Cabrio is a 2-door version of the existing Cognoscenti. Its design is based after the real-life Bentley Continental GT. The car seems to have the same bonnet and front fascia as the Cognoscenti, but has more sloping lines that lead down the side to the rear end. It has the traditional front grille found on the normal Cognoscenti with 3 air intake vents. The front bumper features horizontal chrome strips either side of the main grille, just below its bottom edge. All of these intake grilles are painted black. One vent is in the middle with two smaller side vents on the sides.
The sides of the car feature a more straight line design until it reaches the rear fender and quarter panel. The car has side skirts that fall low to the ground. The side windows feature chrome trim along the edges and the B pillar is finished with a black polymer surface. The car features a rear-side window that follows the sloping design line and falls to the rear fascia. The rear of the car is a hatchback like design with the same general look as the normal Cognoscenti. The Cognoscenti Cabrio features large 10-spoke wheels with wide track medium-profile tires.
The car features a two-piece folding hardtop that stores in the trunk area under the trunk lid. The top takes very little time to be raised or retracted.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto V
Visibly it is clear that the car's suspension is focused more on comfort; it has a fairly loose anti-roll bar setup within its suspension system, and as a result, it tends to have slightly more body roll. The exhaust note sounds notably sportier than the more hushed saloon version and as a result suggests better acceleration (possibly also due to more than likely lighter weight). The top speed is very good, as well as acceleration, thanks to, according to the description, a powerful 5.8L V8 engine. Handling is top-notch due to a not-so-lengthy wheelbase, along with a low center of gravity and good weight distribution, although the car's turning radius isn't the sharpest. Rollovers are not a factor when it comes to cornering.
The vehicle shares its engine sound with the Comet, but with a cleaner tone.

Trivia
- The default radio station for Cognoscenti Cabrio is FlyLo FM and Soulwax FM.
- The car was originally supposed to spawn in traffic, as seen in the first trailer.
- Curiously, the Cognoscenti Cabrio make similar appearances in "Paparazzo - The Meltdown" and "Legal Trouble", being driven by women somehow involved in a police chase.
- When the folding roof is lowered or raised it clips very slightly through the boot/trunk, however this is not noticeable unless the player is looking out for it.
- When heavily damaged at the front, two spikes will stick out of the front.
- When testing races in the Content Creator, this is the only car that, when nearly destroyed, will not restart the test.
- Once the test is exited when the vehicle blows up, the character will be floating on screen, in front of the camera.
