2019 Porsche 911 Carrera S interior exterior design introduction and vehicle specifications

The open-top 911 continues the decades-long tradition of Porsche, when it uncovered the prototype of the first 911 Cabriolet at the International Auto Show (IAA) in Frankfurt, Germany in September 1981.

Customers and fans are enchanted at the same time. The first open 911 variant came out of the production line in 1982 and has since become a constant feature in the model range. The open-top version of the iconic sports car will be launched in 2019, which is almost unprecedented. It includes all the innovative features of the Coupe and the advanced features of the Cabrio, such as new hydraulic systems that enable the roof to be opened and closed faster than ever before.

The new model reflects the modern lines of the Coupe, but it's clearly a Cabriolet-style Porsche911. While the fully automatic soft top has an integrated glass rear window, the soft superstructure contains magnesium surface elements, known as springs, which prevent the roof from being safely ballooned at high speeds.

The soft top can be opened or closed up to 50 km / h. The new roof hydraulics reduce the opening time to approximately twelve seconds, while an electrically extendable wind deflector ensures that the necks are protected against wind blows.

Exterior design based on previous generations of 911

The new 911 Cabriolet looks larger, safer and completely muscular than its predecessor. Larger wings are spread behind the large 20-inch wheels on the front and behind the 21-inch wheels. Rear-wheel drive models match the superstructure width of existing four-wheel models. The rear axle is 44 mm larger.

The front end - usually 45 mm wider - revives a traditional feature of the previous 911 generations: a front-extended hood with a distinct indentation in front of the windshield. Both elements extend the front of the vehicle and give it a dynamic look.

All models come with a wide, variable position spoiler and a continuous, seamless and elegant light bar. Except for the front and rear sections, the entire outer surface is now made of aluminum.

Redesigned interior with clear lines

The interior panel is clear with clear, straight lines and built-in tools that define the instrument panel. As with the original 911, the new dashboard covers the entire width between the two horizontal wing levels. In addition to the centrally positioned rev counter, two thin, frameless free-shape indicators inform the driver. Now 10.9 inches in size, the middle display of Porsche Communication Management (PCM) can be operated quickly and without distractions.
