Porsche have just announced details regarding the 911 Turbo Cabriolet and 911 Turbo S Cabriolet models. The cars are scheduled to make their world debut at the LA Auto Show in November.
The 911 Turbo Cabriolet and 911 Turbo S Cabriolet are designed to deliver the same blend of performance, agility and economy as their hardtop siblings. The turbocharged 3.8-litre six-cylinder engine delivers 520 hp in the open-top 911 Turbo, and 560 hp in the S model. The cars accelerate from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.5 and 3.2 seconds respectively, reaching a top speed of up to 197 mph. Both new models return 28.5 mpg on the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), with CO2 emissions of 231 g/km. When compared against their respective predecessors, the new cars deliver 30 hp more power and are 0.2 seconds faster in terms of 0 to 62 mph acceleration. They are also up to 15% more efficient.
As well as being more faster and more powerful, the new generation of 911 Turbo Cabriolets are also more dynamic. Featuring PDK dual-clutch transmission as standard and the new PTM all-wheel drive, as well as featuring rear-axle steering and active aerodynamics. While the rear-axle steering system improves agility and stability on both on the racetrack and during everyday use – the active aerodynamics can be tuned to offer optimum efficiency or driving dynamics at the touch of a button.

Visually the 911 Turbo Cabriolet and Turbo S Cabriolet are marked out by widely flared rear wings which are 28 mm wider than those of the 911 Carrera 4 models. Another prominent feature of the 911 Turbo Cabriolet is the exclusive Porsche panel bow top with its lightweight magnesium frame. This system enables the Coupé-like arch of the roof to be achieved when the top is closed. This arch, which also offers advantages in terms of aerodynamics, is not possible using conventional construction techniques. As with predecessor models, the roof opens and closes in around 13 seconds, at speeds of up to34 mph (50 km/h).
The interior of the new Cabriolet models follows that of the 911 Turbo Coupé. The S-model features an exclusive interior in Black/Carrera Red and adaptive Sport Seat Plus seats with 18-way adjustment and memory. In addition, the seat backrests are leather-trimmed with double cap seams, and various elements sport a carbon look. As with the predecessor models, the Bose sound system is fitted as standard – and, for the first time, a Burmester system is also available on request. What’s more, the radar-controlled adaptive Cruise Control system, camera-based road sign and speed limit recognition function and reversing camera are also available as options.
The Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet and Turbo S Cabriolet models will go on sale from December. In the US the prices start at $160,700 for the Cabriolet, and at $193,900 for the S Cabriolet. UK prices are £126,766 and £149,511 respectivley.
