PORSCHE 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet (991) 2012-2018 Photos, engines & full specs

The 2012 Porsche Carrera 4S Cabriolet was that daily-driver supercar that could take its top off in 13 seconds and run away with its 400 hp delivered to its all-wheel-drive system. It took it, in total, less than 20 seconds to get in, start, uncover and reach 100 kph (62 mph).

Porsche always had open-top vehicles. Looking back, it had a glorious roadster over the years. Some of them were meant for racing and performance. But there was a switch toward the luxurious convertibles, with high-performance and able to be used as a daily driver car.

The 2012 Carrera 4S Cabriolet had the same wider rear track when compared to the non-S version of the vehicle. It wasn't something everyone would notice, but the difference was there for a reason, and that reason was the wider tires installed. From behind, a rear red light-strip united the LED taillights.

Inside the Carrera 4S Cabriolet, there were some luxury features. The leather-covered sport-bucket seats were covered in leather. Even the rear, unusable, seats were wrapped in leather. The center console was higher to give the driver a sense of a single-seat racing roadster. On the console, there were the buttons for adaptive suspension and other technical features of the vehicle plus the gearshift lever. Porsche offered a 7-speed manual as standard or a 7-speed dual-clutch PDK system for the transmission. The 7-speed manual had an interesting feature that prevents the driver to accidentally downshift from 7th to 4th, which could damage the engine.
