The invention concerns a vehicle retractable roof, comprising a front roof element (1), an intermediate roof element (2) and a rear roof element (3). The displacement of the rear element (3) towards the rear deck is controlled by an arm (6) articulated to the vehicle chassis and to the rear element (3). The invention is characterised in that the rear element (3) is linked in articulation to the intermediate element (2) through a first lever (10), a second lever (11) linking in articulation the intermediate element (2) to a fixed articulation point (13) of the chassis, the intermediate element (2) comprises a slide (14) extending between its front and rear edges, a finger (15) integral with the rear of the front element (1) being engaged in said slide (14) so that the front element (1) can slide on the intermediate element (2), the front part of the intermediate element (2) is linked in articulation to the front element (1) through a lever (16).
