2004 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet Photo Gallery

Behold the first Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet in fourteen years. The droptop Turbo incorporates the Turbo coupe's 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine engine, matched up to either a six-speed manual gearbox or a five-speed Tiptronic manu-matic and permanent four-wheel drive.

Like the Turbo coupe and all Porsche Carrera 4 models, the Turbo Cabriolet's four-wheel drive system delivers from five to 40 percent of the engine power to the front wheels depending on driving conditions. The Turbo Cabriolet is also fitted with the Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system as standard equipment. A rear spoiler deploys at 75 mph and retracts at 55 mph.

The 911 Turbo Cabriolet comes with an extensive range of standard equipment, including metallic paint, a full leather interior, a hard top, and a wind deflector. There's also a Bose audio system and the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system, comprising a double tuner, CD player, navigation system and trip computer.

As found on all current Porsche 911 Cabriolets, the Turbo Cabriolet is equipped with a power convertible top that raises or lowers in just 20 seconds. To maintain body stiffness, the 911 Turbo Cabriolet's structure is enhanced with reinforced side-sills featuring body panels and elements doubled in thickness, additional junction plates, and shaft reinforcements behind the B pillar.

To ensure supreme stopping power at all times without the slightest fading, the new Turbo Cabriolet comes with four-piston fixed-caliper brakes plus inner-vented, cross-drilled brake discs front and rear measuring 13.0 inches in diameter. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) are available as an option. Eighteen-inch light alloy wheels with tires measuring 225/40 on the front axle and 295/30 on the rear axle transfer the braking power to the road.

The flat six's 415 horsepower is enough to launch the Turbo Cab from 0 to 62 mph in 4.3 seconds, on its way to a top track speed of 189 mph. So, how much does all this speed and style cost? The 2004 911 Turbo Cabriolet will set you back a cool $128,200.
