2012 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet |  |
| 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet Posted: 22 Nov 2011 07:55 AM PST The topless types have been holding out long enough. Porsche has just unveiled their plans for your 2012 spring/summer fun. Launching in March of 2012, Germany will see the new 911 Carrera Cabriolet first. The Carrera Cab will see the same 3.4-liter flat engine generating 350 hp while the Carrera S will use 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine developing 400 hp. A seven-gear manual transmission will get you through the twists and turns. PDK optional. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is doubling the driving fun to be had from the new 911 Carrera by putting a Cabriolet alongside the Coupe. The debut of the new generation of the sports car classic is being followed only a few months later by the open-top models of the 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera S in the new 911 design. What the Coupe began with the new aluminum-steel body, the Cabriolet continues with the all-new, unique hood: As a result, the typical 911 roof line is initially retained in its entirety. Even when closed up, the Cabriolet cuts a fine figure. Intelligent lightweight design, even including the use of magnesium in the hood, ensures less weight and more sportiness, lower fuel consumption and greater comfort. With the open-top 911s as well, Porsche has managed to reverse the weight spiral and make the new Cabrio models significantly lighter than its predecessors. Each of the two new Cabriolets has the same engine as its Carrera Coupe equivalent. The rear of the 911 Carrera Cabrio houses a 3.4-liter flat engine generating 350 hp (257 kW) of power driving the rear wheels through a seven-gear manual transmission. The open-top Carrera S comes with a 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine developing 400 hp (294 kW) and also a seven-gear manual transmission featured as standard. That means that the open-top 911s as well are distancing themselves even further from the competition in terms of efficiency; both models consume less than ten liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (NEDC). The Cabriolets as well have the Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) available as an optional extra, delivering even lower fuel consumption and shorter acceleration times. With the longer wheelbase compared with the predecessor model, the wider front track and the new electro-mechanical power steering, the new Cabriolets offer even sportier driving characteristics, greater precision and agility. Depending on model, there are other standard or optional active control systems available as well that further enhance the driving dynamics. The 911 Carrera Cabriolet will be launched in Germany on March 3, 2012. The prices for the 911 Carrera Cabriolet start in Germany with 100,532 Euros, the 911 Carrera S Cabriolet starts with 114,931 Euros including value-added tax in both cases. - Porsche Related posts: 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet
