2012 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet and 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet

There is no better place to experience a sense of total freedom than under a blue sky, breathing in the fresh air and with the sun shining on your face. And there is no more reassuring feeling
than having everything under control and being able to react to any situation. The 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet and  2012 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet are open to this way of thinking. From a technical perspective, both are as focused on performance as the closedtop variants. The Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet is equipped with a 3.6-litre engine that produces a maximum torque of 390 Nm at 4,400 rpm.

The S model has a 3.8-litre unit that generates its maximum torque of 420 Nm at 4,400 rpm. Excellent road holding is ensured by Porsche Traction Management (PTM) and the mechanically locking rear differential. A safety-enhancing roll-over protection concept provides peace of mind. The dependable chassis, therefore, is a good starting point and bad weather need not dampen your sense of freedom. The fabric hood of the 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet models is robust yet lightweight and, like the roof of the Coupé versions, is integral to forming the classic 911 silhouette. At the rear, the design of the Cabriolet models is exactly as you would expect of an all-wheel-drive 911. The seamless taillight strip is an unmistakable styling feature and the body, track and tyres are sporty and characteristically wide. In a 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet, there is no excuse to let the weather hold you back.

The fabric hood on the Cabriolet models is lightweight and robust. The roof frame is made from a weight-saving construction. The glass rear screen is scratch-resistant and electrically heated to provide excellent rearward visibility. A rain channel on the hood reduces dripping when the doors are opened. Electrically powered, the hood opens and closes with a concertina action, which ensures excellent protection for the interior lining in all weathers. The process, which is initiated by a button on the centre console, takes approximately 20 seconds and the function remains operable up to a speed of around 50 km/h.

The interior hood lining is made from a heat-insulating and sound-absorbent fabric. Even at high speed, this ensures that you hear almost nothing other than the characteristic sound of your Porsche. Provided as standard, the wind deflector was developed in the wind tunnel for practically draught-free driving and minimal wind noise. It can be detached and folded compactly for easy storage in the luggage compartment. A hardtop is available as an option for your 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet model. It is made from aluminium and is easy to fit. On the inside, it is lined with a sound-absorbent fabric that has been purposefully designed to complement the interior of your sports car.
