While the regular 911 is an iconic shape, the 911 Cabriolet always looks awkward and hunchbacked, even with the top down. Power comes from a 345-hp 3.6-litre flat six-cylinder, or a 385-hp 3.8-litre version in the S models. And while the 911 is normally rear-wheel drive, the Carrera 4 Cabriolet uses a sophisticated all-wheel drive system. Both come with six-speed manuals as standard, but Porsche’s optional seven-speed dual-clutch PDK gearbox is optional. Top-down motoring makes up for the visual deficiencies. As with any Porsche, the options list is Pandora’s box: only open if you dare.

Pros

Legendary performance icon – with no roof

Cons

Expensive option list
