The 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet was launched at the same time with the Coupe version at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. And its performances were in the supercar territory.
The Cabriolet was built to offer the thrills and the look of a 911 Turbo version, but with a top that could be dropped for a pleasant, relaxed drive.
For the 2010 model, the car featured large air intakes and bar-shaped LED turn-signals. In the side-scoops air intakes needed to cool the front brakes, the designer incorporated the daytime running lights with LED, instead of the usual foglights. The headlights featured optional dynamic lights that improved illumination on the bends due to a swiveling mechanism. On the upper side of the rear fenders, a twin air-intake was placed to help to cool and feed the engine with fresh air. The wing on the engine hood made an important aesthetic difference between the Turbo and the rest of the 911 models.
The first Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet appeared in 1975 and offered a 260 hp from a flat-six 3.0-liter engine. Fast forward to 2009 and there still 6-cylinders flat under the rear hood and the engine grew to 3.8-liter displacement. Instead of one turbo, there are two turbochargers with Variable Turbine Geometry, a feature exclusive to Porsche. It was mated to either a six-speed manual or a 7-speed PDK (Dual-clutch automatic gearbox).
