Starting at AU$239,300, the Carrera sits well beneath the 911 Turbo and Turbo S which require an unearthly amount of cash if you’re hoping to own one. Specifically $478,000 for the Turbo S.. Excluding on-road costs. The Carrera is the most affordable in the 911 range.
The Carrera will come with a 3.0-litre twin-turbo engine producing 272kW of power and 450Nm of torque, which is more power than the previous model despite the fact that it had a larger engine. Redlining at 7400rpm, this car is sure to give you a decent amount of long-lasting kick.
With 20-inch wheels protected by Pirelli tyres measuring at 245/35 at the front and 305/30 at the back, grip will rarely be an issue. This rear-engined rear-wheel-drive sports car is powered by a seven-speed automatic transmission with the usual paddle shift option for manual driving.
The 911 Carrera Cabriolet also has 145 litres of cargo space, a new multimedia system with Apple CarPlay, many driver controls and the ability to lower and raise the roof up to 50km/h. The colour of the canvas roof can also be selected, with buyers able to choose between black, blue, red and brown.
While it may face a tough challenge competing with fierce rivals such as the Audi R8, Lamborghini Huracan Spyder and Mercedes-Benz SL, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet provides Porsche enthusiasts with a more affordable alternative for a convertible, fast sports car.
