Porsche 911 991.1 Cabriolet

Moteur : 3.4L Flat-Six Origine : Germany
The Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet has always occupied a special place within the 911 range, combining the unmistakable character of Porsche's rear-engined sports car with the freedom of open-top driving. This 2013 example belongs to the highly regarded 991.1 generation and is presented in an especially elegant and understated configuration.
Finished in Anthracite Brown with a matching brown convertible roof, the exterior is complemented by a light beige leather interior. The combination gives the car a refined, almost bespoke appearance, perfectly suited to the more mature Grand Touring character of the 991 Cabriolet.
Beneath the rear deck sits Porsche's naturally aspirated 3.4-litre flat-six, producing 350 horsepower. The 991.1 represents the final generation of the standard Carrera to retain a naturally aspirated engine before Porsche introduced turbocharging across the Carrera range with the later 991.2. Its progressive power delivery, immediate throttle response and distinctive flat-six soundtrack are therefore becoming increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts.
This particular car is further distinguished by its seven-speed manual gearbox. The 991 was the first series-production car in the world to be offered with a seven-speed manual transmission, giving the driver a level of involvement that has become increasingly rare among modern performance cars.
Although instantly recognisable as a 911, the 991 generation represented one of the most significant technical developments in the model's history. Its wheelbase was extended, its tracks widened and almost 90 per cent of its components were newly developed or substantially redesigned. Its aluminium-steel construction also made the body both lighter and more rigid, allowing Porsche to improve comfort, stability and performance without sacrificing the essential character of the 911.
The Cabriolet roof was itself an impressive piece of engineering. Lightweight structural elements were incorporated into the fabric roof to preserve a smooth profile when closed, giving the Cabriolet a silhouette remarkably close to that of the Coupé. The result is a car that remains equally convincing with the roof raised or lowered.
First registered in March 2013, this Carrera Cabriolet was originally delivered in Cologne, Germany. It has covered 70,500 kilometres and has known only two owners from new. The car remains accident-free and retains its original factory paintwork, two particularly valuable qualities for a well-preserved example of this generation.
Its most recent maintenance was completed in July 2025 at 65,800 kilometres. The equipment includes the Sport Package, sports seats and the automatic start-stop system, further enhancing both its sporting character and everyday usability.
The 991 generation is widely regarded as one of the finest compromises in the modern 911 lineage. It offers considerably more refinement, interior space and long-distance comfort than its predecessors, while retaining a naturally aspirated engine, hydraulic-feeling driver involvement and the unmistakable balance of a rear-engined Porsche. This dual personality allows it to function equally well as a relaxed open-top Grand Tourer or as an engaging sports car on a more demanding road.
There is also a fitting historical detail to this particular example: 2013 marked the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911, exactly half a century after the model was first presented in 1963.
With its sophisticated colour combination, seven-speed manual transmission, limited ownership history, original paintwork and carefully maintained condition, this Porsche 991.1 Carrera Cabriolet represents an increasingly desirable interpretation of the modern 911: elegant enough for continental touring, yet still sufficiently mechanical and involving to satisfy the true Porsche enthusiast.
