The Porsche 911 Cabriolet, sprinting to speeds of 60mph in 4.7 seconds and with its automated wind deflector, it is a highly capable sports car.

Power and Performance

Porsche’s 911 Cabriolet is infinitely easier to drive and more comfortable when compared to its rivals. With its optional 7-speed gearbox, the 911 Cabriolet is just perfect for the city; especially with the fact it is low-powered, its speed is still fast enough – just 0.3 seconds slower than its siblings of the S’s.

The power of the 911 Cabriolet will be greatly inspiring to any driver, making stops from 70mph in about 149 feet, and pulling 1.03g on the skid pad.

Interior & Exterior

The top of the 911 is designed in such a way it minimises the wind noise, with individual interlinking panels that gives solidity to the superb roof. The retractable top can be lowered or raised in just 13 seconds.

Also, the wind deflector that previously used to be removed from the boot and installed over the rear of the car can now be controlled easily with the touch of a button control. The seats of the 911 Cabriolet are cosy and warm. The layout of the dashboard is less confusing when compared to other sports cars of the same class.

Even though a super car, the 911 has a rear space big enough for small kids, or for a few bags, and with the boot in front, you can pick up extra luggage. The fact remains that this car has many options that can be included to really personalise it, though pricey anyway. However, heated seats, multi function steering or metallic paints are worth enjoying in your 911 Cabriolet.

Safety & Reliability

Well, what would you expect? The Porsche 911 Cabriolet was built with materials of high quality that give it the best possible standards both on the inside and outside. The chassis reinforcements help oppose resonant frequency; with a stiff chassis and no roof, the car remains rigid.

The electronic driver aids of the 911 Cabriolet are really effective and sophisticated enough to allow you make adjustments on intervention levels. You can select options that adjust the aids to your preferences. The car tracker system that provides security is also standard.

eBest Cars Verdict

The Porsche 911 Cabriolet is a high performance convertible with countless ways of personalising it to your taste by the installation of other extras in the car. Even though they raise the price, these extra options are really worth enjoying.

Porsche 911 Carrera is a good looking supercar that offers everything that a car enthusiasts are looking for in sports cars. It is definitely not an economical car to own, but you will buy it if you love Porsche.
