In 2015 the Porsche Carrera S Cabriolet has received few updates, along with the rest of its siblings in the 911 family. But it managed to remain the same everyday supercar.
It was that daily-driver supercar that could take its top off in 13 seconds and run away with its 420 hp transferred to the rear wheels via a standard 7-speed manual gearbox. And it could do that many times without breaking a sweat.
The 2015 Carrera S 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 S 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, or upshift if it wasn't in the 5th or 6th gear. For the 2015 model, the Carrera S received a new torque-vectoring system that aided the traction on the corners.
