Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet Hire In Paris

The 911 Cabriolet adds a soft top to the Carrera’s rear engine, rear wheel drive, flat six formula and in doing so creates a vehicle that covers a very specific version of the Paris driving experience that the coupe cannot provide. The coupe is the driver’s 911. The Cabriolet is the 911 that makes Paris’s best moments something more than they are in the closed car.

The Bois de Boulogne in the right season with the soft top stowed. The route out to Versailles on a clear afternoon when the road is good and the flat six is building through its range with the open air above the driver adding the dimension that converts an already good drive into something worth remembering. The section through the Ile de France countryside where the view above the windscreen changes from city to forest to open land and the Cabriolet is the version of the 911 that can communicate all of that directly rather than through glass.

The soft top opens and closes in a matter of seconds and operates at highway speeds. The rear seat, small as it is, adds practical flexibility for the Paris programme that involves two passengers occasionally. The flat six produces 385 horsepower in the standard Carrera specification and delivers it with the linearity that has defined 911 driving character across six decades of continuous development. In Paris that character communicates in the register the city’s most car aware clientele responds to. Chosen because of what it is rather than what it represents. Starr Luxury Cars delivers it to the hotel with full preparation before every hire.
