This third generation, or 997, Turbo Cabriolet is Porsche's most powerful, nimble and environmentally friendly convertible to date. Embodying the soul of Porsche, this latest open-top Turbo bristles with the carmaker's most sophisticated technologies, delivering a level of road-going performance commensurate with its status as the pinnacle of the Cabriolet model range. Highlights Like the two generations before it, the latest 911 Turbo Cabriolet shares its essential architecture with the latest Turbo Coupe, most critically, that car's 3.6-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with twin variable-vane turborchargers and its all-wheel drive. As configured in the Turbo Cabriolet, that engine develops 480 bhp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque while meeting LEV-II emissions standards and being fuel efficient enough to not be penalized as a gas guzzler. The EPA rates the Turbo Cabriolet at 15 mpg in the city. The manual gearbox delivers 24 mpg on the highway test, and the Tiptronic S version 23 mpg. Like the Turbo Coupe, the new Turbo Cabriolet is available with the optional Sports Chrono Package Turbo with its overboost feature that allows bursts of an additional 45 lb.-ft. of torque as desired by the driver. Driving through either a standard-equipment six-speed manual or optional five-speed Tiptronic S transmission, the engine's output is maximized at all four tires by an electronically controlled all- wheel drive system, Porsche Traction Management (PTM), marking the first application of this technology on any Porsche Cabriolet. Sure-footed in inclement weather Stability is further enhanced by Porsche Stability Management (PSM) and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) allowing the enthusiast driver to confidently and fully explore the new Turbo Cabriolet's stunning performance capabilities. In factory tests, the new convertible with Tiptronic S transmission accelerated to 60 mph (96 kph) in just 3.5 seconds, track speed of 124 mph (200 kph) in 12.6 seconds and topped out at a track speed of193 mph (310 kph).
