As usual, the 911 shape works best a a coupe.

Agreed. The Cab looks very ungainly from most angles.

looks good with the roof up.

best looking 911 cab ever.

has electric wind deflector, and also hard roof covered in fabric.

Really? Just looks wrong to me.

All 911 cabs with the roof hidden (i.e. 996 onwards) are slightly ungainly in many ways, but I love the look - really shows the engine to be in the rear, the raison d'etre of the 911. They are proportioned completely differently to every other ragtop on the road and these proprtions do distinguish them.

I like it, although I'd be happy in a 997, not sure they've moved the game on like they did from 996 to 997 (certainly not like 993 to 996).

looks very good with the roof up imho, but like most cabrio's a little boat-like with it hidden away (though not as bad as the e30 m3 cabrio-that was insane!).

although the old pram hood wasn't the most technically advanced solution as said above it did give a bit more shape to the cabrio profile.

now, never mind the cabrio what about this new retro targa? are they still going ahead with that? stainless roll hoop anyone?!

More interested in the scenery... Anyone know where these pics were shot or is it a photoshopped background?

I believe it is happening. If they get it right, it will look fab and could be nearly as stiff as the Coupe if done properly.

IF!

I read it was New Zealand.

The Cabs have always had more compromised rear seating, due to the need to accommodate the hood systems between the engine and cabin.

Wonder if this will be any different?

Don't see the point of a 911 cab. To me the Boxster (Spyder) is the by far better open top car

Just looked at these photos again, and in fairness it doesn't look bad at all. Maybe it looks even better again in the flesh.

Spoken by a non fan of cabriolets in general.

I really like it, I think in Turbo form it'll look stunning in the flesh

[CPBRI]

Coupes do look better than cabs, but behind the wheel, I'm not too worried about it.

The official video of the car is here:

Looks pretty good, guards and pebble interior.


There is also a vid with a computer generated walk-around here:
