2008 marks the arrival of the much anticipated new 911 Turbo Cabriolet. When it goes on sale in September 2007 in North America, the 2008 911 Turbo Cabriolet will take its rightful place at the top of Porsche’s sports car hierarchy and will continue Porsche’s 20-year tradition of offering an open-top turbocharged 911 sports car for those who yearn for the ultimate open-air Porsche driving experience either on the track or on the boulevard.

The 911 Turbo Cabriolet features the same 3.6-liter, six-cylinder, twin-turbocharged boxer engine found in the 911 Turbo Coupe. Using Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG), the powerplant generates 480 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque at 1950 rpm. The heart of the Variable Turbine Geometry technology is the turbocharger’s adjustable guide blades, which can vary in angle to most effectively guide engine exhaust flow onto the turbocharger’s impeller wheel. The result is a system that provides the advantages of both a small and large turbocharger, thus eliminating the turbo lag or old and, instead, offering unheard of flexibility and awesome acceleration, particularly at low engine speeds.
