The 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet America Edition is built to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Porsche 356 America Roadster that debuted back in 1952 — and, by extension, the 30th anniversary of the 964 America Roadster, itself built to celebrate the 40th anniversary of that original 356.
The America Edition comes in just one color: Azure Blue 356, a modern take on the original blue of the first 356 America. Those with a keen eye will notice the white stripe along the sides of the car with an even smaller red stripe in the middle of that. Basically, they painted a Porsche red, white and blue. Welcome to America.
At first, the wheels appear to be a simple white. Look closer: they actually have three different finishes on them, meant to make them pop and harken back to the silver wheels of the 356. On top of that, the windshield surround is painted black to give this Cabrio a sleeker look — tricking the eye into thinking the structure is thin and dainty, like on the 356.
At its core, the America Edition is a 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet, with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat six making 473 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque, same as the non-America version. That power is routed through a mandatory seven-speed manual transmission.
