Porsche 997.2 Turbo

The vehicle in detail

The 911 Turbo Cabriolet is powered by a 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine with double turbos, good for an output of 500 hp. This allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 3.7 seconds. The power was transferred to the road via a sophisticated all-wheel drive system (Porsche Traction Management, PTM), which offered optimum grip and stability, even in challenging driving conditions.

Compared to the previous 997.1 Turbo, the 997.2 is equipped with direct fuel injection (DFI), which results in more efficient combustion, more power and lower fuel consumption. In addition, the 997.2 received an optimised chassis and improved brakes, including ceramic brake discs as an option.

The convertible version is distinguished by an electrically operated fabric roof that can be opened or closed within 20 seconds, even while driving at up to 50 km/h. This combines the pure driving experience of a convertible with the sporty performance of the Turbo.

In terms of design, the 997.2 Turbo Cabriolet is recognisable by subtle changes to the headlights, a modified bumper and wider rear wheel arches. The interior offered high-quality materials and modern technologies, such as an improved PCM infotainment system and optional sports seats with extra support.

In short, the Porsche 997.2 Turbo Cabriolet is a powerful, refined sports car that offers the best of both worlds: the dynamism and performance of the Turbo and the open-air driving pleasure of a convertible.
