The marketing of the 997 Carrera 4S Cabriolet Phase 1 began on 01/08/06 and ended on 16/12/09 after the release of Phase 2.
At Porsche, the release of new models follows a relentless logic: first the flagship model (the 911 Carrera), followed by its convertible version. Then the top-of-the-line Carrera and Carrera S with all-wheel drive are launched, as well as their respective cabriolet versions. The Carrera 4S Cabriolet inherits the aesthetic features of its hardtop counterparts, such as the specific logo on the engine hood, dual tailpipes and an increased width of 44 millimeters. The soft top takes only 20 seconds to open or close at the touch of a button on the console, even at speeds up to 50 km/h. It is also twice as light as a retractable hardtop "CC" and allows for a lower center of gravity.
