Open-top driving is integral to Porsche history. It began back in 1948 with the No. 1. The convertible variant of the first 356 became a legend, as did its descendent, the Porsche 550 Spyder. In 1982, the first 911 Carrera model in cabriolet form was introduced to the road.
Two things that all open-top Porsche cars have in common are an urge for sporty acceleration and unlimited driving pleasure. The time has come to carry this tradition on into the future. The 911 Carrera S Cabriolet does just that.
That explains what motivates us; so let’s describe what drives the car: the 3.8-litre engine with direct fuel injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus, which produces 400 hp at 7400 rpm. The 911 Carrera S Cabriolet completes the sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 187 mph.
Without question, the 911 Carrera S Cabriolet has remained faithful to the sporty spirit of its predecessors and is ensuring that the legacy lives on in the 21st century.

Sometimes, the best option is to free your mind, to look at things from a fresh perspective and to explore your own direction, not least when you’ve set yourself ambitious goals for the future. These goals can be achieved by opening yourself up to precedent-setting ideas.
This is the direction explored by the 911 Carrera Cabriolet. With innovative hood engineering, lightweight materials and an integrated wind deflector, it conceives a new kind of freedom and broadens the appeal of the sports car.
