A retractable roof for a vehicle, comprising a rigid front roof element and a rigid rear roof element having a rear window, said elements being movable between a position in which these elements extend above the passenger compartment of the vehicle, and a position in which said elements are folded one on top of the other in the rear luggage compartment of the vehicle, wherein the front element is fixed so as to be articulated with the rear element along a first axis contained between the adjacent edges of the two elements and situated substantially in the continuation of their lower surface, the rear element fixed so as to be articulated with the bodywork along a second axis close to the lower rear edge of this rear element, the movement of the two roof elements between the aforementioned two positions being controlled by a pivoting arm, the front end of which is fixed so as to be articulated with the front element along a third axis situated in front of the first axis, the rear end of said control arm being fixed so as to be articulated with the bodywork along a fourth axis situated in front of the second axis, the aforementioned four axes defining a deformable quadrilateral, the rear window being movable between a first substantially horizontal position when the roof is closed, a second substantially vertical position, folded down towards the passenger compartment, and a third position under the front element when the roof is stored in the rear luggage compartment.
