Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet Hire UK: Open-Top Flat-Six Self-Drive

Hire a Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet in the UK

The Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet is rear-wheel drive, open-top,and powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six producing 450bhp. It reaches 60mph in 3.9 seconds with the PDK gearbox. The electric fabric roof opens in around 12 seconds and can be operated at speeds up to 50kph — so you can drop it at a traffic light and be open to the sky before the next junction. Unlike many convertibles that feel compromised with the roof down, the 911 Carrera S Cabriolet is genuinely rewarding to drive in either configuration. The chassis stiffness is exceptional for a cabriolet and the steering remains precise regardless.

The Carrera S Cabriolet vs the Carrera 4 Coupe

If you’re deciding between the two, the key differences are straightforward. The Carrera 4 is all-wheel drive and a fixed-roof coupe — the choice for year round performance driving in all UK conditions. The Carrera S Cabriolet is rear-wheel drive and open-top — the choice for summer driving, coastal routes and occasions where arriving with the roof down is part of the experience. The Carrera S has more power (450bhp vs 370bhp) and a higher top speed (191mph vs 182mph), but the Carrera 4’s AWD gives it an advantage in the wet. Both use the same 3.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six in different states
of tune.

The Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet on UK Roads

The 911 Carrera S Cabriolet is at its best on the kind of roads the
UK does well — the A272 through Sussex, the A591 through the Lake District, the coastal road from Exeter to Cornwall. Rear-wheel drive and a flat-six behind the rear axle means the chassis balance is unlike any front engine car — the weight distribution encourages rotation, and the throttle controls the cornering line in a way that takes a few minutes to calibrate to and then feels completely natural. In comfort mode it is relaxed enough for the motorway. In sport plus it is emphatic. The exhaust note through an open back road with the roof down is one of the best sounds available for self-drive hire in the UK.
