Product Overview

Porsche 911 997.1 Cabriolet is a mid-size convertible sports car in production from 2005 to 2008. It was available with a range of flat-6 engines that displaced 3.6 to 3.8 liters.

Compared to the 996, the 997 Cabriolet has roughly the same styling but is more modern and more reliable. Notably, its engines are upgraded to get rid of the IMS problems found in the 996.

Porsche has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it.
