Highlights of the Porsche Booth

Since its shocking debut at Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963, Porsche 911 has been maintaining its position as a leader in the market of a high-performance sports car. Its current model, Type 996 has been matured by receiving several modifications in its 2002 model. In the Porsche booth, two new additions to the 911 model range in this autumn, 911 Turbo Cabriolet and 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet will be displayed for the first time in Japan. In addition, in total five new models will be introduced from the 911 model range, including the 911 Anniversary Edition with various special equipment for the commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the 911 model, 911 GT3 Cup Car, a racing car for Porsche Carrera Cup Japan, a pinnacle of the one-make racing, and 911 GT3, which is Porsche's best pure sports model. From the third model range of Porsche, Cayenne, which was introduced last year, the top model Cayenne Turbo with an overwhelming motoring performance that will completely overturn the conventional image of SUV cars, and Porsche's first car mounting V6 engine, Cayenne, will be displayed. Boxster will also be displayed from the Boxster model range, which is seen as a benchmark for the world's open two-seater market.

Highlights of the Vehicle on Exhibition
Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet

The fastest cabriolet in the 911 model range, 911 Turbo Cabriolet develops maximum output of 309 kW (420 bhp) and has exactly the same top speed as its coupe counterpart of 305 km/h, being an ultimate cabriolet. The 911 Cabriolet has been resurrected for the first time in 14 years, since the 911 Turbo Cabriolet, the cabriolet model of 930-type 911 Turbo, which was the world's first mass-production turbo model being manufactured between 1987 and 1989.
Compared with the 300 bhp former model built from 1987 - 1989, the new Cabriolet develops maximum output of 420 bhp (309 kW). Top speed is 305 km/h, the same as its coupe model, while acceleration from 0 - 100 km/h is 4.3 seconds, only 1/10th of a second "slower" than the coupe. A further significant improvement over the former model code-named 930 within the Company is the roof mechanism with its particular ease of operation, the roof not only opening and closing fully automatically at a standstill, but also at a road speed of up to 50 km/h.

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet

911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet is an luxury model in which the highly acclaimed performance of the coupe model was left intact, while you can enjoy the sound of the 3.6-litre naturally aspirated flat six engine displacing 235 kW (320 bhp). Appealing for a strength with its rear wing protruding to left and right, the feature similar to that of the 911 Turbo Cabriolet, and having sophisticated appearance, this cabriolet is a new age open-air sports car proposing a different taste of driving from other models.
The difference from its coupe counterpart is the reinforcements in the sidesill area. Additional joint plates and shaft reinforcements behind the B-pillar are added in 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet. Such reinforcements for body shell are also added to 911 Turbo Cabriolet. Thus, both models enjoy the highest body rigidity in 911 cabriolet models.

Porsche Carrera GT

Carrera GT was developed based on the pure racing technology by installing the 5.7-litre V10 engine developed by the engineers at Porsche R&D Centre in Weissach, Germany, and adopting the monocoque frame and sub-frame made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP), while being equipped with the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) as well as the Porsche Ceramic Composite Clutch (PCCC). The engine with the maximum output of 450 kW (612 bhp) and the maximum torque of 590 Nm produces an overwhelming performance, by reaching to the top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph), and the acceleration from 0 to 200 km/h takes merely 9.9 seconds.

Maximum output reaches up to 168 kW (228 bhp), while the improvement of fuel consumption and the reduction in harmful exhaust gas being produced in the combustion process have been achieved. As with the Boxster S, acceleration and pulling forces are enhanced particularly in the low engine speed range, the Boxster completing the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.4 seconds (0.2 seconds faster than before).
