The Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet convertible, from Germany's premier performance-car specialist, remains fresh and contemporary while staying true to its roots as a well-rounded, rear-engined sports car. The car comes in standard and higher-performance "S" versions, each with a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive. The standard car's six-cylinder powerplant can launch the base model from zero to 60 mph in around 5 seconds. The 911 Carrera S Cabriolet, with a bigger six-cylinder engine, shaves about half a second off the zero to 60 mph dash. A six-speed manual transmission is standard. A five-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission with manual-shift capability is optional.
Adding a power-operated fabric roof to the already-appealing Porsche 911 Carrera only increases driving enjoyment, provided the elements cooperate.
