Porsche 911 (991.1) 4-S conv
S63 convertible top noise

I'm looking to move from a 2015 Porsche 911-4S convertible to a S63 convertible. I'm curious if owners notice any wind noise from the top after a year or 2 or during colder months. The 911 is solid and w/o noise (from the top anyway) due to the magnesium manels in the top. I'm curious how the S63 fares with wind noise over time.

No noise at all from roof! Triple layered sound and thermal insulation with double layered security glass literally as quiet as the 4 door sedan

Since the S cabrio has also double glass (side) windows, it is one of the quietest convertibles (with the roof closed) I ever drove. Even at 250 km/h you would think that you drive in a Coupe.....above that, the wind noise starts a little (drove 303 kmh last week in Germany on an empty, 2x3 lane Autobahn........not too long of course, but great to see that it goes that fast relatively easily, without limiter it probably would go even faster....).

Driving with the top down in tunnels is another story...........my co-driver measured > 95 db noise level.......

S63 just as quiet as the 911. Perhaps a little engine noise - that's about the only difference I could tell.
