The Details
This 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet presents in Jet Black Metallic over a Tan interior, showing 14,097 miles from new in original, unmodified condition. The 991.2-generation 911 Turbo Cabriolet occupies a specific and well-defined position in the modern 911 hierarchy — the all-weather, open-top expression of Porsche's flagship non-GT performance variant, combining the Turbo's all-wheel drive system and twin-turbocharged flat-six with an electrically operated fabric roof that deploys in thirteen seconds at speeds up to 31 mph. It is, without meaningful qualification, one of the most capable and usable high-performance convertibles available at any price point.
Power comes from Porsche's 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six producing 540 horsepower and 487 lb-ft of torque, paired with a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission and Porsche's all-wheel drive system. The 991.2 update introduced a significant revision to the Turbo's engine specification — variable turbine geometry turbos, previously reserved for diesel applications in the automotive industry, allow the 3.8 to build boost with a speed and linearity that earlier fixed-geometry turbo 911s could not approach, eliminating the power delivery characteristics that once distinguished turbocharged Porsches from their naturally aspirated counterparts. The result is an engine that responds to throttle inputs with an immediacy more reminiscent of a naturally aspirated unit while producing output that no naturally aspirated road car of remotely comparable size could replicate.
The Cabriolet body demands more structural engineering than the coupe to maintain chassis rigidity without a fixed roof, and Porsche's approach — additional reinforcement integrated into the sills, A-pillars, and windscreen frame — produces a convertible that the marque's own instrumentation cannot meaningfully distinguish from the coupe in dynamic behavior. The Sport Design front fascia sharpens the 991 Turbo's visual presence over the standard bumper treatment, and the rear wing's active deployment at speed provides both aerodynamic function and a visual signal of the car's performance intent.Jet Black Metallic over Tan leather is among the more elegant combinations available in the 991 Turbo palette — a classic pairing that reads with appropriate restraint on a car whose performance credentials require no visual amplification, and that presents the cabin's sport seats, aluminum trim, and PCM interface with a warmth that the more commonly specified black-on-black interiors do not provide.
At 14,097 miles, this example has been used with the consideration appropriate to a car of this capability — enough mileage to confirm that all systems have been properly exercised while remaining comfortably within the range associated with preserved, collectible 991.2 Turbo examples. The 991.2 Turbo Cabriolet's combination of daily usability, open-air flexibility, and supercar-grade performance in a package that attracts none of the attention of more exotic machinery represents a value proposition the market has recognized consistently, and clean low-mileage examples have held accordingly.
