Is The Porsche 911 997.1 Cabriolet The Best All-Rounder?

Basheer of Invictus introduces a Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet 997.1, the 997 was launched in September 2004 in Carrera and Carrera S guises, the former with a 321bhp 3.6-litre version of the water-cooled flat-six from the 996, the latter a 350bhp 3.8-litre version of the same engine. Although the range was soon expanded to include other variants,

For the first time, development of the cabriolet version of the 997 led the design and engineering effort at Porsche with the coupé following. Porsche applied the logic that if you started with the more difficult cabriolet challenges (for chassis stiffness) the coupé version would simply be more rigid. Despite additional weight, the cabriolet versions attain nearly the same performance figures as their coupé counterparts. Even the rear tail comes up slightly higher on the cabriolets to compensate for differences in drag over the canvas top vs. the smoother coupé shape. The 997 cabriolet had factory optional hard tops that provided better protection from unexpected weather conditions than the conventional canvas top. It is interchangeable with that available on the late 996 cabriolet models. The hardtop provides a winter option to cabriolet owners.
