Underneath, it still handles like a 911
Just like other contemporary 911s, the 4S Cabriolet turns in quickly, with a near flat cornering attitude. Porsche Stability Management comes standard; combined with the AWD you have to be doing something really silly (re: stupid) to get the car out of shape. The feedback from the tiller is very exact. All of that rubber means there's tons of grip, and with power to all four wheels, one can get on the throttle earlier when exiting corners without the threat of too much oversteer.

The 3.8L flat-6 develops 355 hp. This is enough to launch the drop-top from not-to-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds.

Admittedly, there are more serious driver's cars in the 911 lineup. But the 2007 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet offers a rare combination of wind-in-your-hair-motoring, that fabulous-sounding flat-six, that awe-inspiring handling that comes standard in any new 911 and little reason to park it in the winter.



Top-notch materials combined with outstanding build quality.
The engine, the handling, the panache.



Top-down driving can be drafty.




I can't afford one.
