The Aesthetics: Upon viewing this Turbo Cabriolet (original MSRP of $168,505), your presence is welcomed by the Turbo’s protruding rear fenders with the integrated intake vents (with the top retracted, the rear is even more pronounced), a lustrous Black finish, Black cabriolet top, 19 – inch Turbo Wheels (showcased in front of the Yellow Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brake Calipers with Black “Porsche” script) in forged alloy, an automatically deploying rear spoiler (extents at 75 MPH), Bi-Xenon headlights, integrated side markers, along with LED daytime running and fog lights in the front bumper, Red Taillights, and dual tailpipes complete the exterior. When entering the cabin, your occupancy is greeted by Black Full Leather, twin-stitching, brushed-aluminum, and an abundant amount of leather covered surface areas. The driver is faced with a 3-spoke smooth-leather-wrapped Sport steering wheel, Aluminum-colored dials in the instrumentation cluster, a dashboard-mounted Sport Chrono stopwatch, a centrally located, 5.8-inch navigation display, and the permanent-grin-inducing 6-speed manual transmission. While front occupants are embraced by the multi-power-adjustable and heated, Adaptive Sport Seats (featuring perforations, twin-stitching, Porsche Crest in the headrests, and leather seat backs), and standard Gray seatbelts. The cabin’s audio experience is provided by the standard, 12-Speaker, BOSE Surround Sound System, with a remotely located 6-CD Disc Changer.

Powering the Turbo is a rear-mounted, twin-turbocharged 3.6L flat-six, 911 GT1 derived engine, producing a robust 480 hp and 460 ft-lbs of torque (performance figures of 0-60 in an estimated 3.6 seconds, a top speed of 193 mph; with the overboost function enabled by the Sport Chrono, torque briefly goes to 505 ft-lbs); while having the power sent to all four wheels.
