The following sections take a closer look at the
features of the newest models.
The new 911 Turbo Cabriolet, unveiled by Porsche in
September 2007, is the third-generation top-of-the-
range convertible model in the 911 series. The vehicle,
whose engineering is based on the 911 Turbo Coupé,
is the almost unparalleled embodiment of high-perfor-
mance sports car combined with elegant convertible.
It unites maximum performance with the excitement
of open-top driving and, in so doing, conveys a sense
of being both enormously fun to drive and very suit-
able for everyday use. The perfect design of the con-
certina-action, fully automatic hood and the high level
of vehicle safety, including the automatically deploy-
ing rollover protection system, are impressive proof
of Porsche’s expertise in designing convertibles.
The new 911 Turbo Cabriolet with its 3.6-liter turbo-
charged engine delivers 353 kW (480 hp) of power.
However, considerable attention was also paid to the
exhaust emission control system, with the result that
the vehicle complies with both the EU 4 European
standard and the LEV II regulations in the USA. The
emissions values of the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet are
by far the lowest when compared with those of its
direct competitors in the high-performance sports
car category.
Spring and damper tuning was modified to take
account of the specific requirements of the heavier
convertible body. As a result, the chassis offers a
unique combination of agile, sporty driving perfor-
mance, superior handling properties, a high level
of safety and suitability for everyday use. The
Cabriolet comes with the same luxurious standard
equipment as the Turbo Coupé, with the added
bonus of a wind deflector and windshield with gray
top tint. As for all 911 Carrera Cabriolets, a hard-
top is also available. The many different vehicle
personalization options on offer are also available
for the Cabriolet. These include a wealth of interior,
exterior and hood colors as well as the extensive
choices from the Porsche Exclusive and Tequipment
ranges. A new natural leather interior in the sporty
classic color of Carrera Red supplements the exist-
ing color choices.
911 GT2: A Purebred Production Sports Car
At the very top of the current Porsche sports car
range is the 911 GT2. In addition to its impressive
design, this supreme sporting athlete delivers ex-
ceptional performance, particularly on circuits. After
debuting at the IAA in September 2007, the car went
on sale in Europe in November. The 911 GT2 is s
cheduled for launch in the USA in February 2008.
Its design reflects its role as the top model. Large air
intakes in the front end, the characteristic rear wing
and a stance that is 15 millimeters lower than the 911
Turbo reveal the potential of the 911 GT2 at the very
