EVO - Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet

4WD drop-top joins the second-gen 997 range


There are two kinds of Porsche 911. The first (and, by tradition, best) has a very specific, breed-defining role: to nail the ‘hard points’ in the range. We already have second-generation 997 versions of the Carrera and Carrera S, and there’ll be a new ballastic all-drive Turbo and lightweight GT3 taking care of the other extreme in a while.

But before they arrive, Porsche is rolling out the second kind of 911 – the kind shaped more by marketing pressures than engineering imperatives. The first wave comprises the Carrera 4 and slightly more potent C4S in both coupe and cabrio guises, these S versions marrying the heavy-duty mechanical and aesthetic elements from the Turbo (the four-wheel-drive system and the pumped-up bodywork) with the more modest entry-level naturally aspirated engines.

Re: EVO - Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet

I still think I want a 911 Cabrio in Midnight Blue over Sahara Beige with Blue top. I think.

Just for reference, one of my pics of a pre-FL 911 Turbo Cabriolet from this year's Chicago auto show done up this particular combination:
