Spied: 2013 Porsche 911 Turbo convertible drops its top!


Summer testing is about to go into full effect and our trusty teamspeed spies are ready to catch all the new offerings for us. Today they bring us a brand new set of photos of the next generation 911 Turbo convertible wearing very minimal camouflage, but this is the first time we have spotted the new turbo with its top down.

As we have previously reported we still do not have any exact details as to what's under the rear bonnet but considering the current Turbo S puts out a whopping 530hp we are fairly confident in stating that the 991 variant of the Turbo will produce anywhere from 550-600hp right out of the box.

Expect the new 911 carrera interior to carry over in full with options such as full leather interior as standard equipment and a few extra special touches unique to the Turbo. The new re-enforced convertible top from the 911 (991) Carrera will carry over to the turbo convertible as well.

We expect the new Turbo coupe to be revealed during the summer of 2012, and the convertible variant to follow shortly after.

Stay tuned for more as always!

huangester is an unknown quantity at this point
The rear feels very solid! However, don't think Turbo will reveal in public towards end of 2012...

Ok Photoshoppers...get after it! Let's see your interpretations. Will it have the lower front fascia fogs again? Rear diffuser look? Side intake shape? Apparently Porsche is integrating CenterLocks into 991 street cars again, because this one appears to be riding on them.

Its a beauty. Have opened a separate bank account that the wife doesn't know about for the 991 Turbo coupe! Can't wait!

I like those wheels. Clean design, sort of similar to the RS-Spyder wheels in style, but with less spokes. They sure show off the brakes real well!

I like it, but the previous 911 Turbo Cabriolet hasn't got roll-bar, no?

The production version won't have the roll bar. Manufacturers install them so they can test performance at the 'Ring.
