The 911 Turbo S has long been regarded as Porsche's ultimate all-rounder, combining supercar performance with the usability, refinement and four-wheel-drive security that makes it genuinely easy to live with every day. The 992 generation raised that formula considerably, with its 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six producing 641 bhp and capable of launching from 0-62 mph in just 2.7 seconds before going on to 205 mph. In Cabriolet form, very little of that extraordinary performance is sacrificed, but lowering the roof adds another dimension to what is already one of the most complete performance cars of its generation.

This particular example takes a noticeably more sophisticated approach than the traditional sporting specification. Aventurine Green Metallic is paired with Truffle Brown Club Leather with Crayon stitching, while 20/21-inch Turbo S Exclusive Design wheels, black Matrix LED headlights and high-gloss black detailing give the exterior a subtle but purposeful edge. Inside, options including the Burmester High-End Surround Sound System, heated GT Sports steering wheel and extended leather further reinforce the Turbo S's ability to combine serious performance with genuine luxury.

That breadth of ability remains the defining appeal of the Turbo S Cabriolet. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, PDCC, active all-wheel drive and the rapid eight-speed PDK give it the performance hardware to embarrass far more exotic machinery, yet it remains comfortable, discreet and usable enough for long-distance touring or everyday driving. Add the freedom of the Cabriolet roof and this is arguably one of the most complete versions of the 911, presented here in an especially elegant and distinctive specification.
