(Tue 08 May 07) The latest Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet will be on sale from this September.
Like the 911 Turbo Coupé, the Cabriolet is powered by a 3.6-litre six-cylinder "boxer" engine with twin turbochargers and Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG). The powerplant generates 480bhp and 620Nm of torque at 1950rpm. With the optional "Sport Chrono Turbo Package", which includes an overboost function, up to 680Nm is available under acceleration. The manual transmission version can accelerate from 0-62 mph in just four seconds. With the Tiptronic S transmission this time falls to 3.8 seconds. Both versions can reach speeds of up to 193 mph. Fuel consumption for the 911 Turbo Cabriolet is 21.9 miles per gallon. The open version of the 911 Turbo weighs 70kgs more than the Coupé. The three-layer soft-top can be completely automatically opened or closed in 20 seconds.
Included in the standard equipment of the 911 Turbo Cabriolet are Bi-Xenon headlights, 19" forged wheels, air-conditioning, a wind deflector, a top tinted windscreen, the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) – with the satellite navigation module and colour monitor, the Bose Surround Sound System and a leather interior.
The price for the 911 Turbo Cabriolet is £106,180, including a Porsche Vehicle Tracking System (VTS), a vehicle security package approved to Thatcham Category 5 standard, and a Porsche Driving Experience programme. The car will be on sale in the UK and Ireland from September 8th 2007. Porsche Gallery |
