Convertible v Coupe - which is faster?
- 5 months ago
I've always wondered - when you take the roof off a car, how much slower is it compared to the coupe version of the same car? To find out, we lined up a 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo (992) next to a 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet (992) to see exactly what the story is. The end result is me being very, very confused!
