After unveiling the 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 last month, Porsche is now working on a facelift version of the Porsche 911 Turbo convertible, which launches next year.
Like the recently launched version, the Turbo Convertible will also feature a direct injection engine and the Porsche’s ’PDK dual-clutch gearbox.
The power will increase with 20-30 hp, meaning it will go beyond 500bhp. Also direct injection also means that the Turbo will be around 15 percent more economical than before.
If you wake up day after day only to find your bank balance replenished by a few million dollars, chances are at some point, you won’t know what to do with it. Take this Porsche 911 owner for example. He couldn’t find ways to get rid of the fast-accumulating green paper and did this to himself.- A 40- pound pure gold covered Porsche 911.
We find the idea annoying but appreciate the work that has gone into it. The carvings and designs on the surface are brilliant and would have taken weeks to complete by an extremely set of talented and skilled individuals. The polished surface looks nice and should have masked the rear-view mirrors entirely, eliminating the need for a reflective glass and related electronics for adjustments, but maybe next time?!
Driving a Porsche 911 on the streets would grab enough attention leave alone a gold-covered one. Is the Sultan of Brunei reading this?

The new 2009 Porsche 911 went on sale today in Germany. Prices are as follows: €83,032 for the Carrera. The Carrera Cabriolet and Carrera S both cost €93,980 and the price of the Carrera S Cabriolet is €104,928 (all prices include VAT at 19 percent).
The newly developed 3.6 and 3.8 liter flat six cylinder engines provide a very dynamic drive for the two coupés and cabriolets with classic rear wheel drive. The use of direct fuel injection for the first time ever and the PDK, available as an option, make the 911 even sportier than ever.
At the same time, these technologies give a lasting improvement to the already exemplary efficiency of the 911 models. This means that the Carrera Coupé with PDK and 345 bhp achieves fuel consumption of 9.8 litres per 100 kilometers, while the CO2 emissions are reduced by up to 15 percent. The 911 Carrera S Coupé now produces 385 bhp from its new 3.8 litre engine with a maximum speed of just under 300 km/h.
