About this car
The 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet delivers open-air performance with a naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six engine and rear-wheel-drive layout. This version pairs the responsive H6 powerplant with a six-speed manual transmission, allowing precise driver control over the convertible’s balanced chassis and signature rear-engine dynamics.
With a low-slung profile measuring 178.8 inches in length and 51.3 inches in height, the Carrera S Cabriolet emphasizes aerodynamic efficiency and sporting presence. The convertible top provides effortless transition between closed-coupe refinement and open-road exhilaration while maintaining the model’s distinctive wide-body stance and 79.7-inch overall width.
Offering seating for four in a premium interior environment, this 911 combines everyday usability with the brand’s renowned engineering precision. Fuel economy ratings of 22 mpg city and 28 mpg highway underscore the efficiency of the 3.8-liter engine when paired with the manual gearbox.

The Porsche 911 Carrera S 991, part of the 991 generation of the iconic 911 lineup, was produced between 2011 and 2019. This generation marked a significant evolution for the 911, with a longer wheelbase, improved interior technology, and a focus on efficiency. While exact production numbers for the Carrera S variant are not publicly disclosed, the 991 generation as a whole saw over 200,000 units produced across all trims, with the Carrera S being a popular high-performance model among enthusiasts.
Equipped with a 3.8-liter flat-six engine in early models (later upgraded to a 3.0-liter twin-turbo in the 991.2 facelift from 2016), the Carrera S delivered between 400 and 420 horsepower, achieving 0-60 mph in as little as 4.1 seconds with the PDK dual-clutch transmission. Its rear-engine layout and refined handling make it a standout for collectors. The 991 generation is also notable for being the last to offer a naturally aspirated engine in base Carrera models before the full transition to turbocharging. Limited editions, like the 50th Anniversary model, add to its appeal, with values holding strong in the used market, often ranging from $60,000 to $100,000 depending on condition and rarity.
