Just out of curiosity......does anybody know if the rear retractable spoiler on the couple raises higher/lower/same compared to the cabrio version?

Anybody have any spec on the retractable spoiler?

 

I wouldn't think so.
would require a different raising mechanism, and require differetn program software....
seems like a pain in the as for little gain

 

The cabrio tail comes up at the same times and lowers the same,--but it goes up about 20mm or 25mm higher,--to compensate for the roof, or lack thereof.

Program software?!?!?

 

So.......if I had the coupe, could I ask my tech to adjust my spoiler to raise as high as the cabrio version?

 

Edgy01 is correct.

 

In aerodynamics, 'higher' may not equate to 'better.' What you do get is a higher spoilage of the air over the car and one of the trades that Porsche elected to accept was a higher .cd value for the cabs over the coupes,--to retain better road-holding and tracking adherance,--thus the reason for the higher physical positioning of the cab tail. It's the same tail as that on the coupe, of course,--it merely is commanded to go up higher. I don't know whether they achieve this with a different physical 'stop' inside the tail assembly or through a more complex software call out to the spoiler motor. I suspect it is the former.
