Driven: Porsche 911 Cabriolet 7-Speed Manual

The 991-series Porsche 911 might be an all-new car, but the styling remains as familiar as ever. The raised front wings, wide rear haunches and that classic roofline are 911 signatures, while Porsche claims that this Cabriolet version shares its profile with the coupé. A very slight kink where the roof meets the bodywork betrays that, but it’s a neatly integrated roof regardless – which folds away at the touch of a button at speeds of up to 30mph.

Roof down the buffeting is less than its predecessor thanks to a pop-up wind deflector, the cabin of the 911 now befitting its list price. Again there’s nothing revolutionary inside, but the fit, finish and materials all feel of a better quality than the 991’s predecessor, the 997 model.
