It’s what we give every 911 Cabriolet: openness to enthusiasm.
The 911 Carrera Cabriolet models.
Irresistible appeal. This has always
been a driving force in the
development of the 911. There is
nowhere better to experience it
than during an involving Sunday
drive in an open-top 911. This is
why every 911 Carrera model is
also offered in Cabriolet form.
Technically, these models emulate
the performance of their closed-
top counterparts. With a 3.6-litre
or 3.8-litre power unit and two
or four-wheel drive, including
Porsche Traction Management
(PTM, p. 62).
Offering uncompromising sports
performance to 911 standards,
no less.
The same applies where safety is
concerned (p. 80). All 911 models
are equipped as standard with
full-size driver’s and passenger’s
airbags and the Porsche Side
Impact Protection System (POSIP,
p. 93). On Cabriolet models, these
are complemented by an effective
roll-over protection system (p. 93).
The optional seat ventilation
provides added comfort
for open-top driving on those
particularly hot days.
Incidentally, the 911 Cabriolet
models are Cabriolets in the
traditional sense: they have a
fabric hood. This saves on weight
in just the right place – for that
low centre of gravity typical of a
sportscar, and for reduced fuel
consumption. Further refinements
to provide that irresistible appeal,
even in bad weather.
