Porsche 911 991 Turbo Cabriolet
Porsche 911 (991) Turbo Cabriolet
Powerful, efficient and wonderfully open – the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet models
Stuttgart. The dynamic range of the new 911 Turbo models1) multiplied by the driving pleasure offered by an open-top sports car: This is the succinct formula behind the two new leading 911 Cabriolet models. Some 50 years after the 911 first made its début and to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the 911 Turbo, the open-top versions of the 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S are making their global début. The vehicles will be unveiled for the very first time at the Auto Show in Los Angeles on November 20. By adding the two new leading 911 models into the mix, Porsche is doubling its offering of the top-of-the-range models to four versions.
In supplementing the range, the 911 Turbo Cabriolet and 911 Turbo S Cabriolet2) deliver the same blend of dynamism, performance and efficiency offered by the Coupé model unveiled a few months ago. Expressed in figures: The turbocharged 3.8-litre six-cylinder engine delivers 520 bhp (383 kW) in the open-top 911 Turbo and 560 bhp (412 kW) in the S model. The cars accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 3.5 and 3.2 seconds respectively, reaching a top speed of up to 318 km/h. And all this while achieving fuel consumption figures below the ten-litre limit: Both of the new top-of-the-range Cabriolet models rest assured in the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), boasting figures of 9.9 l/100 km (equivalent to 231 g/km CO2). When compared against the respective predecessor models, the new vehicles deliver 30 bhp more power and are 0.2 seconds faster in terms of their standard acceleration. They are also up to 15% more efficient.
Active rear-axle steering and active aerodynamics for even greater dynamism on the road
The driving dynamics offered by the two new top-of-the-range Cabriolet models is something that cannot be expressed in simple figures. Boasting PDK dual-clutch transmission as standard and the new PTM all-wheel drive, as well as featuring rear-axle steering and active aerodynamics, the open-top 911 Turbo models are now also establishing the leading Porsche technology in the open-top super sportscar segment. While the rear-axle steering has an immensely positive impact on handling for the two new super sportscars, both on the racetrack and during everyday use, the active aerodynamics can be tuned to offer optimum efficiency or driving dynamics at the touch of a button, depending on the drivers wishes.
More than ever before, both of these new top-of-the-range models also make a clear visual statement about their performance. The characteristic, widely flared rear wings of the new 911 Turbo generation are 28 mm wider than those of the 911 Carrera 4 models – a virtually level surface of just over a hands width extends out from the C-pillar to the outer edge of the vehicle. The impressive effect of this width is accentuated still further when the top is down.
Another eye-catching feature of the 911 Turbo Cabriolet is the exclusive Porsche panel bow top with its lightweight magnesium frame. This innovative technology enables the Coupé-like arch to the roof to be achieved when the top is closed. This arch, which also offers advantages in terms of aerodynamics, is not feasible using conventional construction techniques. As with predecessor models, the roof opens and closes in around 13 seconds, at speeds of up to 50 km/h.
Premium furnishings in the interior
The interior of the new Cabriolet models follows that of the 911 Turbo Coupé. The S-model boasts a particularly extensive range of furnishings, with features including an exclusive interior in Black/Carrera Red and adaptive Sport Seat Plus seats with 18-way adjustment and memory. In addition, the backrest shells of the seats are leather trimmed with double cap seams, and various elements are achieved in a carbon look. As with the predecessor models, the Bose sound system is fitted as standard – and, for the first time, a Burmester system is also available on request. Whats more, the radar-controlled adaptive Cruise Control system, camera-based road sign and speed limit recognition function and reversing camera are also available as options.
The new top-of-the-range 911 Cabriolet models will be launched onto the market in December 2013. In Germany, the 911 Turbo Cabriolet costs EUR 174,431 and the new open-top 911 Turbo S EUR 207,989, inclusive of VAT and country-specific equipment in each case.
1) 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S: urban fuel consumption: 13.2 litres/100 km; extra-urban fuel consumption: 7.7 litres/100 km; combined fuel consumption: 9.7 litres/100 km; CO2 emissions: 227 g/km.
2) 911 Turbo Cabriolet and 911 Turbo S Cabriolet: urban fuel consumption: 13.4 litres/100 km; extra-urban fuel consumption: 7.8 litres/100 km; combined fuel consumption: 9.9 litres/100 km; CO2 emissions: 231 g/km.

2013 Porsche Panamera Diesel
Porsche Panamera diesel combines the driving pleasure typical of the brand with the efficiency of a midsize car. In our test, we examine how "Porsche" and "diesel" in harmony.
If someone had said 25 years ago, that there will be a Porsche sedan with a diesel engine, you would have probably laughed at him, but times are changing, and today there is a full-fledged Porsche sports sedan with a diesel motor.
The design of the Panamera, it can still recognize at first glance, the family resemblance, visually, the Panamera is ever a true Porsche. The blend of sportiness and space is the engineers succeeded perfectly, the Panamera combines two worlds in one car.
Sporty sedan with an already extremely luxurious equipment, which includes among other things, in addition to the mandatory safety features for 18 "alloy wheels, LED taillights, a partial leather trim, an underbody trim, air conditioning and an electronic parking aid.
Is still room for improvement given enough how the features of our test cars has shown. With some nice features details such as Bi-Xenon headlights including PDLS, Bose surround sound system, full leather interior, heated steering wheel, air-conditioned front seats, electric sun roof, 20 "alloy wheels in Turbo design, electrically opening tailgate and even some other details are coming soon
For this we will also be an extremely luxurious Porsche brought to the door. The interior design is just as spectacular as the exterior appearance. A mixture of typical Porsche style, and Star Trek greeted the passengers.
The most comfortable sports seats offer perfect stability, and the wide center console - front and rear - admits to every passengers personal privacy. On the center console are pushing a variety of knobs and switches that caresses of shiny aluminum inserts. Though the Panamera with this wealth of buttons not the 1st
The valves are the way they expect from Porsche, only in version 2.0 for Internet geeks. As usual, the rev counter is in the middle of the ads, but the Panamera is flanked on each side by two more ads. Left of the tachometer you can learn everything about oil temperature, oil pressure and speed, the right of it is the fixed display of water temperature and fuel, as well as the home of the onboard computer, and optionally the color display of the navigation system if the other passengers would use the main display for the navigation system otherwise .
With a length of 497 cm, the Panamera also princely space. Even in the second row there for tall passengers enough leg room, and headroom is much better than they trust the Porsche 141 cm high would.
The boot capacity of 445 liters by folding down the rear seats is even more extended and thus sized for a sports sedan perfectly acceptable.
Processing and material selection are perfectly typical of Porsche, even after 21,000 km of our test car rattles (which are usually twice as strong as claimed in private hands) nothing, and everything looks as fit as the first day.
The most important question remains, whether in creating a nearly 2-ton sedan, a 250-hp diesel engine and the feeling can Prosche? With a turn of the key, of course, as usual, Porsche is located on the left of the steering wheel, they awaken the 6-cylinder diesel engine to life and is surprised the first time.
The engineers have done it that no one gets into the car and has not previously read the discreet sign on the diesel side air inlet believe, would be to sit in a diesel. The sound is reminiscent of the Boxer engine and is far removed from any diesel-nailing. In return, the power delivery can be proud. With a maximum torque of 550 Nm, which is available 1750-2750 rev / min, the Panamera diesel accelerates smoothly in 6.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h Even more impressive is the enormous pulling power of the 3.0-liter diesel, which transports passengers in just 4.5 seconds from 80 km / h to 120 km / h.
The power delivery is accompanied by a sonorous sound, one has reached the desired speed, but it remains pleasantly quiet inside, which is recommended as an ideal of the Panamera sedan. Its top speed is 242 km / h
Perfect as the 8-speed Tiptronic harmonizes with the diesel, which shifts gear so perfect that you forget the keys for manual switching operations on the steering wheel may well.
In Sport mode, the Panamera looks then more agile, and very direct and light steering is a bit harder.
When the road holding and handling you will know that youre in a Porsche on the road. The Panamera is literally glued to the road, and if you did not know that you are traveling with a 5-meter sedan, you would not believe with certainty, so light and active driving can the great Porsche measure exactly around curves.
The big surprise is it then again at the pump: With a test consumption of 7.5 liters, which were achieved with quite a lot of driving fun and a good working start / stop system, the Panamera is also very economical way. Even the factory-stated 6.5 liters per 100 km are feasible, the gas pedal when moving house - only those who would like to have done this in a Porsche?
With the Panamera, Porsche has put a car on the wheels, which can inspire absolute. The combination of a typical Porsche driving characteristics with a frugal diesel, which are quite 1000 km to meet at a time without refueling makes the most sensible Porsche Panamera diesel for all time.
