Porsche Club of America reviews the 2018 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet in a one-mile test. The car, powered by a 3.8L twin-turbo flat-six producing 580 hp, features a 7-speed PDK and all-wheel drive. The reviewer notes the car’s smooth, docile behavior at low speeds, the seamless transmission, and responsive brakes.

With the roof down, turbo sounds and wastegate whooshes become prominent, enhancing the driving experience. Interior highlights include extensive leather, carbon-fiber trim, and a sporty yet comfortable layout. In Sport Plus mode, the throttle sharpens, dampers stiffen, and active anti-roll bars engage. Steering feels well-weighted despite being electric.

The reviewer praises the Cabriolet for combining extreme performance with daily usability, comfort, and practicality, including storage options. The Turbo S Cabriolet delivers a rare blend of comfort, performance, and sensory engagement that makes it one of the most thrilling 911s of its era.
