In supplementing the range, the 911 Turbo Cabriolet and 911 Turbo S Cabriolet 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.
