With its 911 Carrera 2 Cabrio, which will be offered up to the end of 1993 Porsche fulfills the requests for an open sports car with complete everyday usability when driven with the top closed.

Powered by the 184 kW (250 HP) engine of the former 911 Carrera, this car offers a high level of sports car identity, technical functionality and active a safety, comfort and fittings. Details such as air bags for driver and front pas- senger, anti-theft warning system as well as the proven top with fully-electric as operation are all standard. This Carrera 2 Cabrio can be equipped with either a five-speed gearbox or Tiptronic.

The top is designed to meet every comfort demand in closed condition. Wind noise remains within acceptable limits, even at high speeds. Ballooning of the top when driving fast is virtually eliminated by the clever, solid design as well as precise production and workmanship of the top in Porsche's own production department. The Carrera 2 Cabrio is suitable for automatic car washes without restriction.

The Carrera Cabrio must be standing still to open the electrically-operated top. This safety measure is necessary since damage could not be eliminated if opened when underway. However, it is now possible to leave the engine running during the opening process, which further simplifies opening and closing the top.
