Fresh air thrills with few compromises

- Scott Newman

Porsche 911 4S Cabriolet

ENGINE 2981cc flat-6, DOHC, 24v, twin-turbo

POWER 331kW @ 6500rpm

TORQUE 530Nm @ 2300-5000rpm

0-100KM/H 3.6sec (claimed)

WEIGHT 1635kg • PRICE $313,700

LIKE: Wonderful to drive; clever engineering; more exciting soundtrack

DISLIKE: Quite heavy; very expensive with options; inevitable image

SINCE THE DAWN of time sports car convertible reviews have read as follows: blah blah, heavy floppy, blah blah, not as precise, blah blah, buy the coupe. With some justification, it must be said, as traditionally drop-tops have suffered dynamically compared to their hard-top siblings.
