The 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet and Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet not only match the Coupes in their top speed potential, but have safety features that provide: Porsche enhances the Cabriolet experience The result is outstanding dynamic performance with exceptional safety protection. Instead of merely taking a Coupe, cutting off its top and then reinforcing its structure with weighty panels, Porsche engineers were able to provide the pleasures of open-top motoring by designing a vehicle that offers the stiffness and strength needed without adding unwanted weight. The 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet and Carrera 4S Cabriolet were designed and developed in parallel with the fixed-roof versions of these Porsche sports cars. The all-new 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet and 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet – with a sure-footed, four-wheel drive powertrains, the enhanced look that comes with their “wide-body” styling, and with tops that open or close at the touch of a button – are truly sports cars that can be enjoyed year around and regardless of the season.īoth Cabriolets feature flared wheel arches designed to accommodate a widened track, larger wheels and tires and four-wheel-drive powertrains that give the venerable Porsche 911 additional dimensions of dynamic stability, especially in inclement weather conditions. 0 – 60 mph took 4.7 seconds (same as the 997 S Cabriolet) and top speed was 179 mph (3 mph slower than the S Cabriolet). Regardless of the option you chose, the flat-six engine was mated as standard to a 6-speed manual, while a 5-speed automatic Tiptronic was optional. To cover or uncover the car, the electric system needed only 20 seconds at speeds up to 50 kph (31 mph).įor the engine, the Carrera 4S we mentioned that 3.8-liter unit that offered a very healthy 3 rpm and 295 ft lbs 4600 rpm, but if that wasn’t enough, you could opt to get the X51 package, that gave you a more powerful engine that was good for 375 bhp. That allowed a normal conversation even with the top down at highway speed. It featured the same options as the coupe, plus the wind deflector. Inside, the Carrera 4S Cabriolet offered four seats but cramped in the rear. The wider tires and wider rear fenders give these models a better stance, a more squat down and get straight to business appeal.

Unfortunately, the Carrera 4 was overshadowed at launch by the Carrera 4 S, which had all of those things, plus a more powerful engine and extra “S” goodies.īoth the Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S have the wider rear tracks than a standard Carrera and S and it makes all the difference in the looks department. It had the same rear wide fenders as the Carrera 4S and the Carrera S and it offered an enhanced all-wheel-drive system, which transferred between 5 and 40% of the torque to the front wheels. The 997 Carrera 4 was based on the same platform with its predecessor but enhanced. The added traction from that all-wheel drive system helps.
