Porsche 911 GT3 Cabriolet: design and differences from the coupe
The new version is based on the track-focused GT3 concept but has received a soft electro-hydraulic roof that folds in 12 seconds. The car’s weight is 1507 kg, which is only 38 kg more than the GT3 Touring coupe.
To reduce mass, carbon fiber body panels, magnesium wheels, and carbon-ceramic brakes are used. The suspension is borrowed from the GT3 RS and includes a front double-wishbone scheme.
