In 2015 Porsche 911 991 generation received an update over the 2012 model.
It was also available in an open-top configuration that added more features than before.
It was hard to understand why the 2012 Porsche 911 Cabriolet didn’t have some features such as Bluetooth connectivity. It was also hard to accept that the car didn’t feature Android Auto and only Apple CarPlay was available. But some things change when the 2015 facelift was introduced.
First, it was the look. The four LED daytime running lights mounted inside the headlights were a good addition. The front bumper was redesigned and received different air-intakes. The taillights were redesigned too. The PASM (Porsche Active Suspension System) was fitted as standard and that decreased the ground clearance by 10 mm.
The interior received a new steering wheel and a new infotainment system, named Porsche Communication Management System. It offered connectivity with the iPhone to use the Apple CarPlay. Those who are using the Android-based phones will have to work their way via a Porsche App. The interior was offered with a 2+2 seating configuration, but obviously, the rear seats are more for storage area.
Under the hood, there was a real modification. The 2015 model received a newly developed 3.0-liter flat-six turbocharged engine. It offered more torque and it was available from 1.500 rpm and stayed flat up until 5000 rpm. The standard gearbox was a 7-speed manual and a PDK automatic with the same number of gears was available.
