2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet: Open-Air Extravagance
No one needs a car like the new Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. And yet, we still want one desperately. In a futile attempt to make a logical argument in support of this irrational desire, allow us to point out the 3.8-liter engine’s new direct-injection system adds 30 horsepower while boosting fuel economy by 12 percent. Then there’s the new optional PDK auto-manual transmission’s lightning-fast shifts that deliver a 0-60 time of just 4.5 seconds. In fact, of all these impressive numbers, the only one we’re having trouble with is where to scrounge up the $101,780 price of entry.
