los angeles 2013 porsche cabrios make la auto show debut

Want to feel the wind rush through your hair as you turn the wheel in anger? Then Porsche has what you need in the form of the 911 Turbo and Turbo S cabriolets.

For $161,650 for the Turbo or $194,850 for the Turbo S, you’ll be able to feel the power of the 3.8-liter flat-six pushing anywhere from 520 to 560 twin-turbo horses from zero to 60 in 3.3 to 3.1 seconds, all through Porsche’s own PDK seven-speed transmission. Handling and active aero are available with a push of a button, while their aggressive looks should help others on the road get the hint, as it were.

Though the duo should arrive on our shores sometime early in 2014, Porsche has yet to specify the exact date.

Amazing performance of course, especially for a cabrio. And while I know it isn't a good option for those who want to play with their toys during winter in snow country, I can't help but feel like the Jaguar F-Type V8S is a comparative bargain. It slots in between the regular and turbo 911 models performance wise, but it's a looker at less than half the friggin' price of the Turbo S. The starting price for the Turbo S is getting so high it is close to some more unique cars like a SLS GT Roadster. The SLS may not be as fast, but it is more rare, sexier, and has a sonorous V8 that might give you wood every time you drive it. Same for the much cheaper (and slower) Jag.

  I just dont see a Porsche at this price being a good bargain at all compared to what else is out there.

Ollicat I have a Spyder. The belt will last for many years or 60,000-80,000 miles. Not really a worry.
Redapple2 Cadillac and racing. Boy those 2 go together dont they? What a joke. Up there with opening a coffee shop in NYC. EvilGM be clowning. Again.
Jbltg Rear bench seat does not match the front buckets. What's up?
Theflyersfan The two Louisville truck plants are still operating, but not sure for how much longer. I have a couple of friends who work at a manufacturing company in town that makes cooling systems for the trucks built here. And they are on pins and needles wondering if or when they get the call to not go back to work because there are no trucks being made. That's what drives me up the wall with these strikes. The auto workers still get a minimum amount of pay even while striking, but the massive support staff that builds components, staffs temp workers, runs the logistics, etc, ends up with nothing except the bare hope that the state's crippled unemployment system can help them keep afloat. In a city where shipping (UPS central hub and they almost went on strike on August 1) and heavy manufacturing (GE Appliance Park and the Ford plants) keeps tens of thousands of people employed, plus the support companies, any prolonged shutdown is a total disaster for the city as well. UAW members - you're not getting a 38% raise right away. That just doesn't happen. Start a little lower and end this. And then you can fight the good fight against the corner office staff who make millions for being in meetings all day.
Dusterdude The "fire them all" is looking a little less unreasonable the longer the union sticks to the totally ridiculous demands ( or maybe the members should fire theit leadership ! )
