Carracter of the Porsche 911 Carrera

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 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.

Offering uncompromising sports performance to 911 standards, no less.

The same applies where safety is concerned. All 911 models are equipped as standard with full-size driver’s and passenger’s airbags and the Porsche Side Impact Protection System (POSIP). On Cabriolet models, these are complemented by an effective roll-over protection system. A optional feature that has been introduced for open-top driving is seat ventilation – for 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. Source
