PORSCHE 911 Carrera Cabriolet (991) 2012-2015 Photos, engines & full specs

The 2012 Porsche launched an all-new generation of the famous 911 sports car. It came in various shapes, including the Cabriolet version.

The 911 is one of the most successful sports cars in the world, with over 1 million vehicles sold in its career. The German brand started its career in 1963 and its journey never ended, while its sales were always strong on its car-segment.

The car was longer than its predecessor and was built with a better aerodynamic, to help in both fields of fuel-efficiency and top speed. The new bumper incorporated on its upper corners the LED daytime running lights, while on its lower side there were three large air intakes to cool the brakes and the radiators. From the side, the newly designed 19” light-alloy-wheels are standard.

Inside, the 911 had four seats installed even if only the front ones were usable. There were two options for them, with up to 18 way adjustable with a memory that also included the steering wheel position. The dashboard had the 911 classical layout. The 911's trademark five round instruments provided all the important information about the vehicle's operating state. The new 4.8-inch, high-resolution, TFT color screen in the instrument cluster to the right of the central rev counter contained extensive configurable display options for vehicle status, audio, telephone, navigation, map display, on-board computer and tire pressure monitoring.

The rear-engined, rear-wheel-drive Porsche Carrera Cabriolet featured a 3.8-liter unit mated to a standard 7-speed manual gearbox. As an option, there was a 7-speed PDK automatic (dual-clutch). For the brakes, there was an option for the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) with ceramic disc brakes and six-piston fixed calipers on the front axle as an option.
