Hood.
Here’s one consolation for anyone
forced to close their hood on
a rainy day: you’re still driving a
911.
The hood system of the new
911 Cabriolet models is both light-
weight and robust. The roof frame
also has a lightweight structure.
The glass rear window is scratch
resistant and electrically heated
– for excellent rearward visibility.
An integral rain channel along
the edge of the hood removes
standing water to prevent dripping
when the doors are opened.
Operation of the hood is fully
electric, using a button on the
centre console or via the key

approximately 20 seconds
from start to finish and can be
operated when the vehicle is
travelling at speeds of up to
50 km /h (30 mph).
The interior hoodlining is made
from a heat-insulating and sound-
proofing fabric. Noise levels are
therefore almost as low as in
the Coupé models, even at high
speeds. So, you hardly hear
anything at all – apart from the
distinctive Porsche sound, of

Wind deflector.
The detachable wind deflector
is fitted as standard. It was
specially developed in the wind
tunnel for practically draught-free
driving and minimal wind noise.
When folded, it can be stowed
in the luggage compartment with
room to spare.
Hardtop.
Optional equipment includes a
tough and lightweight aluminium
hardtop, which is also easy to
fit. The inside is lined with a
soundproofing fabric which is
matched to the interior of the
vehicle.
