Thanks for the pics, RC!
I must confess, it's a nice looking car... but I dont't like the color!
Greetings
I think it looks good in yellow, but I probably wouldn't order it in yellow.
Funny enough the first official F430 Spider pics were also of a yellow car.

Just for your files, I also attach the official Press Release issued this morning by PAG.
It's exactly the same as seen on Rennteam except that it's in PDF carrying the original format.
Welcome to the family 997 TT Cabrio!

Just another official pixz as received from PAG Press Office
Enjoy!
Thanks buddy. Doesn't look tooooo bad.
I feel alot better now.
Looks like the wing is doing good stuff (from press release):
Together with the rear spoiler, [edited] the vehicle is the only standard series convertible that generates negative lift at the rear axle.

Please forgive me (bad mood and hangover):
How about a side shot so the silly wing can be seen on the silly big a** of the Cab? Gonna give new meaning to the ghetto slang of "junk in the trunk."
A side shot is available with the technical info, just follow the link I posted.
The only thing I actually don't like about the 997 Turbo Cabriolet is...the price tag. Ouch.

Very nice picture
Very nice picture, that's correct, but also very brown colour...
I do not know why but, I like that color...
At least Porsche was brave enough to show 997 Turbo cabrio in different color. I am sick and tired of usual Black and Silver 997 Turbo's. Resale value seems to be only thing on the mind of most 997 Turbo buyers...

NO PDK
No iPod
No bluetooth
No rear LED
0.2 secs slower to 60 than the non cab
Is this 2007?
I wanted this car to be my next one, but it won't be.
150lbs more than the coupe, sounds normal.
P is loosing their edge, where are all these profits going to?
Where's the dream?

You are right Kreso, I'm also no fan of the various silver-grey-black colours of Porsche. The brown of the Turbo Cab is surely nice at the first glimpse, but I would not order a car in that colour. It's too 70ies style to me.
But I would like to see some more "real" colours from Porsche, e.g. a more reddish carmon (that means arena
), a blue in between midnight blue (which looks almost black to me) and cobalt (which I think is too blue) and some yellow, green and orange accents.
Re: 911 (997) Turbo Cabriolet - Official Pictures/
I agree with you! But, I like that Brown a lot...
Porsche needs some new colors for 997 range or to re-introduce the old ones again... Zenith Blue is interesting one, Ocean Blue as well... Arena Red as you mentioned...
BTW, that Brown is in fact 70's original Turbo color.

Weight is 1665kg(coupe is 1585kg).
BTW, it is 0.1s slower in 0-100km/h then coupe version...
Rear LEDs? Thank God they did not mess with it-at least they had current buyers in mind...
0.1s slower sorry yes.
They could easely have intregrated the rear LED without changing the shape of the lights, just the internals. No need to remind you LED are a security feature as they light quicker. So Porsche is skimping on security at the expense of the customers. Once again, where are all these profits going?
