991 Cabriolet 4S 3.0L (420 Bhp)

For 2016, the 991.2 Carrera 4S Cabriolet comes standard with turbocharging. The new 3.0ltr twin-turbo flat-six engine, borrowed from the turbo, offers more power and greater efficiency. This all-wheel-drive model boasts 414 bhp at 6500 rpm and 368 ft-lbs of torque from 1700 to 5000 rpm. With launch control, Porsche claims a 0-60 time of 3.8 seconds in the PDK variant, though this is likely conservative. This luxurious, high-performance convertible combines comfort and speed, achieving mid-3-second 0-60 times.

The AWD system operates primarily in rear-drive mode but engages the front axle when Porsche Traction Management (PTM) detects or anticipates slippage, directing more torque forward than previous models.

For the best experience, opt for the Sport Package. It includes SportDesign mirrors, Sport Chrono package, two-mode sport exhaust, GT Sport steering wheel, and rear-axle steering, significantly enhancing agility and stability. The harder you push the Carrera 4S Cabriolet, the better it performs, with unflappable traction and balanced handling.

The 991.2 Carrera 4S Cabriolet excels in traction, making it ideal for bad weather and cold climates while delivering impressive performance. Its explosive acceleration, great sound, and exceptional usability make it a standout. However, it may lack the drama some sports car enthusiasts crave.

The car features Porsche’s new infotainment system, including navigation and Apple CarPlay integration, offering significant improvements in both appearance and functionality over the previous version.
