POWERFUL, EFFICIENT AND WONDERFULLY OPEN THE NEW 911 TURBO CABRIOLET
MODELS
Atlanta. Porsche is adding two new models to the 911 range: the 911
Turbo Cabriolet and 911 Turbo S Cabriolet. These new models combine
the dynamic range of the new 911 Turbo models with the driving
pleasure offered by an open-top sports car. 50 years after the 911
made its debut, and coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the 911
Turbo, the open-top versions of the 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S are make
their global debut at the Los Angeles International Auto Show on
November 20, 2013. By adding the two new 911 Turbo models into the
mix, Porsche is doubling its offering of the top-of-the-range models
to four versions.
In extending the range, the 911 Turbo Cabriolet and 911 Turbo S
Cabriolet deliver the same blend of sporty dynamism, performance and
efficiency offered by the Coupe model unveiled a few months ago. The
twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter 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 60mph in 3.3 and 3.1 seconds respectively, reaching a top
speed of up to 195 mph. When compared against the respective
predecessor models, the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet's deliver 30 more
horsepower and are 0.2 seconds faster in terms of their standard
acceleration. The 911 Turbo Cabriolet and 911 Turbo S Cabriolet U.S.
EPA fuel consumption ratings are 17.0 mpg city and 24.0 mpg highway.
Active rear-axle steering and active aerodynamics for improved
performance and efficiency
The driving capability offered by the two new top-of-the-range
Cabriolet models is something that cannot be expressed in simple
figures. With a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission as standard
and the new PTM all-wheel drive, as well as rear-axle steering and
active aerodynamics, the open-top 911 Turbo models are establishing
Porsche technology in the open-top super sports car segment. While the
rear-axle steering has an immensely positive impact on handling, both
on the racetrack and during everyday use, the active aerodynamics are
adjusted to offer optimum efficiency or driving performance at the
touch of a button, depending on the driver's selection.
More than ever before, both of these new top-of-the-range models make
a clear visual statement about their performance. The wide flared rear
fenders of the new 911 Turbo generation are 1.1 in. wider than those
of the 911 Carrera 4 models a virtually level surface and just over
a hand's width extend out from the C-pillar to the outer edge of the
vehicle's body. The impressive width is accentuated further when the
top is down.
Another eye-catching feature of the 911 Turbo Cabriolet is the
exclusive Porsche retractable roof with its lightweight magnesium
frame. This innovative technology enables the Coupe-like arch to the
roof to be preserved when the top is closed. This arch, which offers
advantages in terms of aerodynamics, is not feasible using
conventional construction techniques. As with predecessor models, the
roof opens and closes in around 13 seconds, at speeds of up to 30
mph.
Premium materials in the interior
The interior of the new Cabriolet models follows that of the 911 Turbo
Coupe. The S-model boasts a particularly extensive range of features,
including an exclusive interior available in Black/Carrera Red and
adaptive Sport Seats Plus with 18-way adjustment and memory. In
addition, the backrest shells of the seats are leather trimmed with
double stitched seams, and various elements are made from lightweight
carbon fiber. As with predecessor models, the Bose sound system is
fitted as standard, and for the first time, a Burmester sound system
is available as an option. The radar-controlled adaptive Cruise
Control system, camera-based road sign and speed limit recognition
function and reverse camera are also available as options.
The new top-of-the-range 911 Cabriolet models will be launched onto
the market in early 2014. In the United States, the 911 Turbo
Cabriolet costs $160,700 and the new 911 Turbo S Cabriolet costs
$193,900. Note: Prices do not include destination charges of $950.
