"The Porsche 911 Cabriolet iconic status is not cheap, but few cars offer comparable appearance and thrills."
The Porsche 911 Cabriolet is a car-Institution. The rear-engine 911 has now been on our roads for over 50 years, while the Cabriolet version first appeared in 1982 Since then, the roofless 911 is itself established something of a style icon.
Earlier generations of the 911 Cabriolet have been criticized for their compromised handling - still delivering wind-in-the-hair excited but this latest version is the stiffest - due to the structural changes that remove through the roof together with an almost incomparable driving experience. The Porsche 911 Cabriolet is not cheap by any means - it can easily cost more than £ 100,000 -. But will do for many, no other car, so the prestige attached to the name 911
The 911 Cabriolet competes with other roofless luxury cars such as the Jaguar F-Type Convertible and Mercedes SL, which, with its folding hardtop, a less sporty and relaxing driving experience. The new Audi R8 Spyder will arrive in 2016 and will likely be considered to provide a compelling alternative for those lucky enough available property 911 Cabriolet.
is the 911 Cabriolet with two or four wheel drive available, along with a choice of manual or twin-clutch automatic transmission and a choice of engines. In 2015, Porsche updated the 911 line-up, with new turbocharged 3.0-liter engines for the most popular models
Even the entry level Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is a very fast car. Its 3.0-liter six ~~ POS = TRUNC engine producing 365bhp turbocharged so that it will reach in 4.6 seconds on 62 mph rest while 33.2mpg return - impressive fuel for a sports car with so much power. For drivers, for even more speed, the 911 Cabriolet Turbo has a revised 3.8-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine, which now 532bhp, enough to make it from 0-62mph in just 3.1 seconds on the way produces a top speed of 198 mph. The 911 Cabriolet Turbo is one of the most exciting convertibles of all time.

Porsche 911 Cabriolet has figures fuel consumption, see its performance [hide
the cult of 911 that Porsche deciding the size of the car engines and fit turbocharger to decrease was controversial. However, this has made the 911 Cabriolet an impressively efficient car - at least in terms of fuel consumption
produced the weakest 911 Carrera Cabriolet 365bhp, yet is an official economy figure of 33.2mpg -. A number that would have before unheard of a few years. True, the 195g / km CO2 is emitted this car that you annual road tax will be confronted by 265 £, but this is unlikely buyer of the market at this end to take care of.
The further you move up the 911 Cabriolet range, which are more expensive and less economical cars. The Carrera S Cabriolet for example provides 32.1mpg and costs £ 20 per year in road tax. If you want the extra grip offered by the four-wheel drive 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet, falling fuel consumption a little more to 31.7mpg, while CO2 emissions to 206 g / km increase on a £ 20 road tax bill.
Note that all these numbers are equipped for the Cabriolet 911 with the standard seven-speed manual transmission. If you order the optional dual clutch automatic (the Porsche PDK calls), then easily improve performance and economy figures.
At the extreme end of the Porsche 911 Cabriolet line-up is the model Turbo. Its extreme performance comes at a price; it costs about £ 135,000 and economy stands at 30.4mpg and 216g / km CO2. These figures seem almost reasonable in view of the performance on offer, but remember that you have to drive your 911 Cabriolet with a lot of discipline to achieve these economic numbers - use the power of the car, and they will fall significantly.
operating costs for all will be 911s High - Service expect you back around £ 1,000 is at a time and expensive group 50 insurance premiums.

few cars can] One thing that is 911 riders the unmistakable sound of Porsche have always liked special six ~~ POS = TRUNC engines driving pleasure of] 911 [1945005match

We like the noise, but it may take a little getting used to if you more familiar with Porsches of old. Ironically the Cabriolet Turbo is not quite as special sounds, like every aspect of the engine setup, the performance is totally dedicated so that you get a variety of whistles, chirps and hisses that drown out the six-cylinder bark much.
In terms of handling, the 911 Cabriolet has always played second fiddle to the standard 911 Coupe, but the last Cabriolet is still the sharpest yet. There are to provide a better, especially if you go for one of the four-wheel drive '4' versions, and the steering - always a 911-highlight -. Is sharp and precise, with a lot of feeling transmitted by the wheel
If the roof is, you would be in a convertible, then the refinement will be hard pressed to say, were. During discussions on the highway with the roof down, and there are obviously some wind noise be difficult, this is an essential part of the drop-top driving experience and the sound of the engine adds behind the head on the thrill.
you are unlikely to want power or speed, whichever 911 select. The standard 911 Carrera Cabriolet has 365bhp and attained 62 mph from rest in just 4.6 seconds while the 414bhp Carrera S Cabriolet does the same in 4.1 seconds -. Although over £ 10,000 more than the standard car
Although the cost of £ 135,000 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet is difficult to beat for outright performance, 0-62mph with its 533bhp 3.8-liter engine and 3.1 seconds time, it is actually difficult to have fun in the Turbo than in smaller models; the speed required for the car near its border to bring, is probably most drivers run out of capacity, before the car is doing, to see. In this regard, "smaller" versions of the 911 have an accessible driving experience.

The Porsche 911 Cabriolet is as quiet as the coupe with the roof
Refinement is excellent for such a performance-oriented car. It is possible that without being 911 Cabriolet intimidated to drive every day or to use the need to all of its power.
The standard electronic wind deflector keeps to a minimum shaking when the roof is down and there to spend the excellent quality of the 911 cabin materials a pleasant place to take in the time.
Porsche latest seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system recognizes fingertip pinches and swipes while standard Navi, leather and Bluetooth means even the most basic 911 Cabriolet is equipped far from sparse.

practicality & trunk

of Porsche 911 Cabriolet rear seats are small but useful
of 911 in this vehicle class is unique to offer rear seats, but they are best used as an additional luggage option specialist or emergency transport -. even small children
Because of the 911 found a squeeze
with a rear engine, whose boat is on the front. At 145 liters - and falling a further 20 liters, if you order a 911 Cabriolet with all-wheel drive - it's not great, but it is a deep, utility that can easily swallow for shopping or squashy bags for a weekend. A disadvantage of this at the front of the car is that the boot lid is very dirty very quickly.The relatively compact dimensions 911 mean maneuvering in the city is easy and it fits into most parking easily through the standard subsidized parking sensors. While no one buys 911 Cabriolet with trips to the tip in mind, it's not totally impractical.

The Porsche 911 Cabriolet feels like a quality product that is both inside and outside
the Porsche 911 Cabriolet every inch a luxurious, high quality car. The cabin is very nicely done and all controls work in a reassuringly solid fashion. , The previous generation of 911 fared relatively poorly in our 2015 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, coming 109th out of 0 cars
Porsche brand has much better: The craft is not with perfect reliability, although secured, sixth for owner satisfaction from 32 manufacturers ranking, and we would hope these past 911, indicates an improvement in terms of reliability.
While the 911 is not sold in sufficient number of Euro NCAP safety tests to justify Porsche, a wide range of safety equipment for all fits 911s. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) helps the car safely on the road remains planted, while large, powerful brakes, traction control and a variety of airbags work together to ensure that the 911 is a very safe car. The 911 Cabriolet also has roll-over protection, ready for immediate use with sprung bar when the car senses an impending crash.

the Porsche 911 Cabriolet has a decent amount of standard kit, but options are expensive
the Porsche 911 Cabriolet an expensive and exclusive car, but considers it its value well in the second ~~ POS = TRUNC market. You can be as lenient as you want with 911 options - Porsche 'Exclusive' personalization program means everything from the seat seams in the color of the calipers can be set according to your taste - but embroidered on the big extras list too many boxes means that the 911 Cabriolet is wateringly expensive eye.
Rivals like Aston Martin V8 Vantage convertible and Jaguar F-Type Convertible offer a more traditional front-engined sports car experience, but it is something special, the 911 Cabriolet, which is kept buyers coming back for over 30 years. One last point to consider: If the 911 Cabriolet is too expensive for your taste and you still feel like an exclusive German convertible, a Porsche Boxster is cheaper by £ 40,000.
