To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the 356 America Roadster, Porsche announced the new 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet America. Expected to reach showrooms in late 2022, the car will be one of the rarest Type 992 models.
Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet America is an open-top sports car made specifically for the North American market. It is based on the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet, and shares the same high-performance chassis and powertrain. The new car is exclusively available with a seven-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive.
The new 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet America is powered with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter boxer six-cylinder engine that generates 473 hp and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) Sport is standard and lowers the ride height by 10 mm while adding helper springs to the rear axle. Sport Exhaust and the Sport Chrono Package are also both standard equipment. Rear-axle steering and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) are available as added cost options. The standard cast-iron brake rotors measure 408 mm (16 inch) in front with six-piston aluminum fixed calipers and 380 mm (14.9 inch) rotors in the rear with four-piston fixed aluminum calipers finished in black.
The limited-edition Porsche inAzure Blue 356 is inspired by the 1953 356 America Roadster. Through Paint to Sample Plus, the color is revived and reserved for this special vehicle in the 2023 model year. The windshield frame is finished in Satin Black. RS Spyder Design Wheels are specially-finished with the interior portion of the spokes in white, the outermost flat surfaces in silver and a Guards Red pinstripe along the edge of the rim.
Along the doors, decals in white with Guards Red accents read “America” while the model designation on the rear features “911 Carrera” in white and “GTS” in Guards Red. The cabin’s interior makes use of cross stitching in Guards Red with surrounding stitching in Pebble Grey. Two-tone stitching in Guards Red and Pebble Grey continues the contrast on the center console armrest where “America” is embossed in the leather. Unique illuminated door sill plates commemorating the 70th anniversary of the 356 America Roadster are also included as standard equipment.
An optional extended interior package includes a 12 o’clock marking in Guards Red on the steering wheel and Guards Red cross stitching on the inside edge of the wheel. This package also adds two-tone stitching to the shift boot and adds a gear pattern on the manual lever in Guards Red. Sport Seats Plus with double stitching in Guards Red and Pebble Grey with “911” stitching on the headrests in Guards Red and the leather backrest release loops in the same color. The floor mats also gain the same two-tone stitching in Guards Red and Pebble Grey.
The vehicle key is painted in Azure Blue 356 to match the car. It is housed in a leather key pouch with two-tone stitching and “America” embossment.
The 2023 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet America will cost $184,920 excluding $1,450 for delivery, processing, and handling. Including the extended interior package, MSRP is $192,430 also excluding $1,450 for delivery, processing and handling.
