In general, an open-top Porsche is a good choice if you are looking for an elegant convertible that you can use every day.

If you are thinking about picking a Ferrari you have to consider the disadvantages in everyday use and a sporty driver is likely to rather pick the extroverted Mercedes CLK DTM.

But consider a 9ff convertible as well, because it combines all the advantages in one: Elegance, suitability for every day - and by touching the accelerator pedal even the speed of a top sports car. Exaggeration? No! This real beauty accelerates in under four seconds to 62 mph, reaches the 124 mph mark only six seconds later and after further 12 seconds you are already driving 186 mph. Because of that you should think twice if wearing a hat is the best decision - or you have to close the top of your convertible.

Through its inconspicuous appearance appears the 911 Cabrio to be the tiger in a wolf's skin. The almost filigree-looking 19" forged rims in 9ff-design underline this appearance and the special Continental high-speed wheels in 235 and 325 width assure the necessary contact to the road. The electrical sports chassis and the huge 380 mm breaks increase the safety as well. But the flat-six engine, the reason for this bundled power, stays hidden from the observer's eye; no Turbo-like slots in the rear wheel arches that give away the slightest sign of its power. A completely amplified and detailed machined aggregate in combination with two special turbos ensures more than 650 bhp and 613 lb-ft of torque.

This car, equipped with four wheel drive, is one of the world's fastest convertibles with a top speed of more than 217 mph - or with its classy appearance it can be the perfect companion for every kind of social event.

You decide - with your heart, your mind and your right foot.

looks ok, but somehow to me a 911 cabriolet is just like the mini or the bug convertible -- loses it's real "identity"

It's nice, but it doesn't scream "I have 650 hp!!!" If I had that type of power, I'd be flaunting it like a Saleen S7...

Sleeper. (Well, can a Porsche be considered a sleeper?? ) Looks almost stock.

Im not sure what it is about those rims, but there is something I just do not like at all about it. Is it the rim, or the thick tires?? Maybe its the wheel gap??

Dual exhaust opening but has a single exhaust.

Besides that, I like it. 650hp!!

Trexus

Exactly, 650 horsepower is plenty enough for me. I'd sport it around...
