The lightweight top also helps lower the center of gravity of the new Porsche convertibles, thus enhancing the cars’ dynamic potential. The carefully designed convertible top is even designed to handle colder climates and yet still only weighs 93 pounds – including all of its system components. Porsche shaped the insulated softtop with aerodynamics in mind, so the cabriolet achieves the same 0.29 coefficient of drag as the coupe, which helps keep the performance in line with the Coupe. As an added aero touch on the cabrio, the deployable rear spoiler rises 0.8 inch higher than on the coupe. Extensive streamlining of underbody components is said to reduce lift to near zero. With the top closed, top speed is the same as the coupe at 177 mph. A five-speed Tiptronic transmission is available, but we love the new six-speed manual gearbox with shorter throws. The 911 Carrera is powered by 325 horsepower, 3.6-liter flat-six, while the Carrera S cab gains a bored-out 355-horsepower, 3.8-liter version of the six. It was really the first time in 911 history that the cabriolet model gave up little performance or structural integrity compared with the coupe version, the upside being open-air sports-car motoring.įor the first time, the cabrio is introduced with a choice of two engines.
The convertible was only seven kilograms (15.4lbs) heavier than the coupe, which made it as fast as the closed-version. The platform was strengthened to act as a chassis. As usual, most of the body parts from the open-top version were carried-over from the coupe. Thus, the engineers installed on the coupe some reinforcements needed for the cabriolet. The convertible version for both Carrera and Carrera S was developed at the same time with the coupe. The base 997 Carrera Cabriolet gets the 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder engine with 321 bhp and 273 ft lbs of torque. The release of the 997 911 Carrera Cabriolet marked the first time since 1977 that Porsche has given the convertible 911s the same engines as their Coupe siblings. Just a few months after the introduction of the 2004 911 (997 series), the convertible version was released.
