Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet
The Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet can do everything that the Porsche 911 Carrera Coupé can do. Naturally, with the roof top down on the Cabriolet, power is less with the Coupé though. The rear spoiler of the Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is 20 millimetres deeper than the spoiler on the Coupé.

The engineers found that this improved aerodynamics of the Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. This slight adjustment and attention to detail highlights the expertise and historically-exacting standards of the engineers at Porsche. This will probably reassure drivers who will typically pay between £65,000 for the Carrera and £77,000 Carrera 4S Cabriolets.

Some Porsche drivers believe that the Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is a fun way to enjoy the classic design of Porsche; others believe that the Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is a ‘butchering’ of the classic shape.

The later Porsche 911s correspond to a number of series titles. The latest car is the 997, the model before that was the 996 and its air-cooled predecessor was the 993. The Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, based on the 997 chassis, has an even cleaner silhouette than the sleek Porsche 996.

Porsche has improved the folding mechanism of the hood (roof). It is much smoother than previous versions. It folds into the roof compartment with the heated glass rear window facing upwards for added protection. Porsche has also improved the ducts above the doors in order to direct rainwater into a specially-developed channel in the windscreen pillar.
