AIMS: Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet

November 19th 2007 05:00

Porsche unveiled one of the fastest convertibles in the world at the Australian International Motor Show in the form of a Porsche 911 (code name: 997) Turbo Cabriolet, which went on sale in Europe just two months ago.

Looking pretty in black, the 911 Turbo Cabriolet features a 3.6-litre twin-turbo engine with Porsche’s Variable Turbine Geometry to produce 353kW and 620Nm (the optional ‘Sport Chrono’ Turbo Package liberates 680Nm for short bursts) which allows the drop-top to sprint from rest to 100km/h in a blistering 3.8 seconds and onto a top speed of 310km/h!

The open 2 2 seater offers the driving performance of a high-performance sports car while still providing convertible driving pleasure. Not that it matters all that much to the well-heeled, the 911 Turbo Cabriolet is economical in its fuel consumption (compared to its competition), thanks to its deliberate design, outstanding aerodynamics and advanced engine technology.

Porsche set to unveil new DSG-style gearbox

June 21st 2007 05:22

Porsches could soon be had with dual-clutch transmission (Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet pictured)

Following the huge success of Volkswagen's DSG dual-clutch gearbox, other manufacturers have been forced to play catch-up and launch their own version of this great technology.

Just last month, it was reported that BMW is set to launch their "M DCT" dual-clutch gearbox in the all new E92 M3 from March next year thus admitting their SMG sequential manual gearbox just wasn't quite up to scratch.

Now sports car manufacturer Porsche has caught in on the act and is set to unveil the "PDK" (Porsche Doppel Kupplungen) dual-clutch transmission in place of their ~~gimmicky~~ tiptronic gearbox.

ZCars is unsure of when and which model the new "PDK" gearbox will make its debut in, but we predict that it could very well be Porsche's upcoming four-door 'coupe', the Panamera in 2009.
