The Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is the German manufacturer’s most expensive Carrera variation. Though Porsche purists inevitably scoff at the compromises inevitably made in the Cabs design and construction, it’s still a formidable car, and probably the finest Cabriolet on the road.

The usual 2009 range of tweaks and upgrades are included, which keep the 911 Cab to a roughly level pegging with its slightly lighter and more agile hard roofed cousins. Most notable in its 2009 improvements is an engine upgrade, giving the Cab a substantial 325-hp boost to its basic 3.6 liter engine.

Some will be pleased to hear that the new 911 Carrera Cabriolet also features a much improved media/utility center. A larger screen and easier to control systems make it a far more suitable inclusion with the Cabriolet.
All the usual safety systems are available; antilock brakes, front passengers airbag, driver’s airbag and front side airbags to name a few. New drivers won’t go without in the comfort department either, with a range of standard equipment such as air conditioning, power steering, wind deflector, cruise control and more.

As much as its detractors might like to denigrate the 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet for its ëcompromised’ engineering, in reality the car is far from any compromise. As is typical with Porsche, only the best is used in design and production of the Cab, and it’s worth every penny.
