Spy shot- Porsche Turbo cabriolet in testing

Porsche is introducing its sixth-generation 911 Turbo this week at the annual Geneva Auto Show, but the German engineers already are testing the next new model variant, the 911 Turbo Cabrio.
The all-wheel-drive convertible will share most major features with the hardtop, including a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine that makes 480 horsepower and can be ordered with either a six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox.

Porsche estimates the 911 Turbo Cabrio will be only marginally slower than the hardtop, which rockets from 0-60 in 3.7 seconds with the manual transmission.

The 911 Turbo hardtop model goes on sale this summer in North America, priced at $122,900.
The 911 Turbo Cabrio is expected to follow next spring 2007, as an early '08 model, for about $10,000 more than the coupe.

It's simple for Porsche. They don't need any drastic changes to their line up or desig and stick to the basics of their traditional look. IT's shape has always looked the same and the only things changed are the headlights and the contempory look. It's basically a classic design that has been "futurized".
