PORSCHE 911 Turbo Cabriolet 996 2004 - 2007

Generation Information

Body style: None

Segment: None

It was the first Porsche Turbo Cabriolet since the 964 generation (in 1989) and confirmed the GT intentions for the Turbo version.
It was built for the pleasure of open-top driving experience than for speed.

When it was introduced, it suddenly made its competition look outdated. Its all-wheel-drive system and the mix of performance and comfort it added, made it one of the best choices on the market, and new buyers didn’t care too much about the fact that it didn’t feature an air-cooled engine. It was faster than most of its competitors, and it was almost as comfortable as a British GT car.

From the outside, the front bumper attracted views due to its large three air-intakes needed to cool the radiators. On its sides, another pair of air-intakes needed to feed the big turbochargers were installed in front of the rear wheels. The wide rear fenders looked muscular. With the retractable roof folded down behind the cabin, a hump was needed to aerodynamically enhance the profile.

Only 20 seconds were needed to cover or uncover the top. The car was tested in the wind tunnel at speeds of up to 338 kph (210 mph) without problems. The three-layer folding roof ensured better insulation. For the interior, leather seats and Porsche Communication Management with sat-nav were available at extra costs.

The 996 Turbo was fitted with an engine carried-over from the Porsche GT3 race-car and detuned for street use. It was mated as standard with an all-wheel-drive system, and that led to a smaller luggage compartment and smaller fuel tank. A 5-speed automatic gearbox (Tiptronic) with manual override to change gears and paddle shifters were offered as an option.
