Six weeks after the debut of the new Porsche 911 Coupé of type 992, the sports car manufacturer is now adding its convertible version. The Porsche 911 Cabrio, which is offered as Carrera S and Carrera 4S, naturally takes over the technology of the 9 11 coupés and the design language remains the same the open 911 very close to the closed brother.

A fully automatic fabric hood that is fitted with a fixed glass rear window as standard makes the 911 a convertible. Flat magnesium elements, so-called flat bows, are integrated into the top structure, which are intended to prevent the roof from inflating at high speeds. The convertible top can be opened or closed up to a speed of 50 km /h.

The new roof hydraulics shorten the opening time to around twelve seconds, an electrically extendable wind deflector takes the storm off the neck. Newly positioned engine mounts are designed to provide more torsional rigidity. The overall line of the 911 Cabrio follows that of the 911 Coupé with the wider front section and the now always wide rear. The mixed tires with 20-inch rims at the front and 21-inch rims at the rear have also been adopted from the coupé.
