2023 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet America

Its arrival marks the continuance of a tradition that began in 1952: offering an open-top, enthusiast-focused sports car made specifically for the North American market. The new model – revealed during the 2022 Porsche Parade in Poconos, PA – is based on the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet, and features the same high-performance chassis and powertrain as that model. Emphasizing its focus on driving pleasure, it is exclusively available with a seven-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive.

The new 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet America uses a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter boxer six-cylinder engine to generate 473 hp and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) Sport is standard equipment, and lowers the ride height by 10 mm while adding helper springs to the rear axle. Sport Exhaust and the Sport Chrono Package are also both standard equipment. Rear axle steering and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) are available as added cost options. The standard cast iron brake rotors measure 408 mm in front with six-piston aluminium fixed callipers and 380 mm rotors in the rear with four-piston fixed aluminium callipers finished in black.

Aesthetic changes applied by Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur make this a striking sports car both from a distance and up close. The exterior colour Azure Blue 356 was chosen, inspired by the 1953 356 America Roadster. Through Paint to Sample Plus, the colour is revived and reserved for this special vehicle in the 2023 model year. The windshield frame is finished in Satin Black. Specially finished RS Spyder Design Wheels are finished with the interior portion of the spokes in white, the outermost flat surfaces in silver and a Guards Red pinstripe along the edge of the rim.

The brand celebrates its heritage with this exclusive 911 model that brings us back to roots of the legendary 356 America Roadster from 70 years ago, with just 115 total built.
