Two reviewers from TheSmokingTire take a spirited canyon drive in the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet to test its performance and comfort. Despite cold, windy conditions, the convertible proves surprisingly comfortable with the top down thanks to heated seats and a heated steering wheel.
Powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six producing 572 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, the 992.1 Turbo Cabriolet delivers explosive acceleration with launch control and relentless midrange torque. While it’s slightly less powerful than the Turbo S, performance differences are small, and both models share similar hardware like all-wheel drive, rear-wheel steering, and adaptive aerodynamics.
On canyon roads, the car impresses with immense grip, precise steering, and strong braking performance. The PDK transmission shifts flawlessly, and the chassis feels stiff and composed for a convertible. Ride quality is also excellent, smoothing rough roads while remaining highly capable in corners.
The reviewers note the relatively quiet exhaust but enjoy the turbo sounds with the top down. Overall, the Turbo Cabriolet stands out as an “everyday supercar,” combining extreme speed with comfort, usability, and high confidence at any pace.
