Porsche does very hard work with their convertibles. The top speed is the same as the coupe variants and the acceleration figures are very close as well. I love these figures, the 911 is the under powered one but yet the fastest and most fuel efficient one.

Re: AutoZeitung - BMW M6 Cabrio vs. Mercedes SL63 AMG & Porsche 911 Turbo Cabrio

I thought the the SL63 would have something on the M6 in acceleration with the new transmission and the bigger engine but guess not. The TT is still the king of performance by a big margin but not a big fan of the TT cab. If it was the coupe that would definitely be my choice.
