The powerplants in both models will be identical to the 911 Coupe, with the Carrera Cabriolet sporting a 3.4L with 350-hp while the Carrera S Cabriolet will be powered by a 3.8L with 400-hp. Both models will feature Porsche's newly developed seven-speed manual as the standard transmission, but an optional seven-speed PDK double-clutch transmission is also available.
America is Porsche's largest market for the 911 Cabriolet model, so its official debut at the Detroit Auto Show made sense for the German automaker.
The new-generation 911 Coupe will be available in the US starting next month and Porsche announced that the Cabriolet variant will be following a few months later.
