Does the Porsche 718 Have a Hardtop Convertible?
1 Answers
Porsche 718 does not have a hardtop convertible. The Porsche 718 has convertibles, but all of them are soft-top convertibles. The differences between hardtop and soft-top convertibles are as follows: Space Differences: Compared to a hardtop, a soft-top can be folded more fully, thereby reducing space occupancy. Soft-tops are usually made of fabric, which saves a lot of weight compared to a metal roof. Additionally, the rear window of a soft-top is typically made of plastic, which is much lighter than the glass used in hardtops. Price Differences: The mechanical structure and electrical components of a soft-top are fewer than those of a hardtop, making it more affordable. For soft-top models, the main concern is lifespan. After years of sun exposure, the plastic rear window becomes more fragile, and older soft-tops are more prone to tearing at high speeds. Safety Differences: In a normal collision, a soft-top is more vulnerable. The rear window of a hardtop convertible is made of glass, offering better anti-theft performance and resistance to damage from sharp tools compared to the plastic window of a soft-top.
