Extremely rare Porsche 911 Turbo Cabrio with factory performance upgrade for sale. This is the eighth last Turbo Cabrio built. It was built in 1989 and therefore has the G50 five-speed gearbox, which was only installed by Porsche in the 1989 model year in the Turbos.
The vehicle passed through the Exclusive Department and was delivered to the Porsche Center in Hamburg.

The vehicle also has the following additional equipment, for which no option codes are available, but some of which was presumably fitted in the factory's exclusive department:

- Folding compartments for cassettes below the dashboard
- Dashboard clad in dark wood

- Turbo display with LEDs instead of analog clock
The car was subsequently fitted with front and rear skirts from Strossek. Retrofitting is possible. In addition, a Ruf wheel set with 9×17 front and 10×17 rear wheels was fitted. These modifications are registered in the papers. The mirrors were replaced with racing mirrors.
The holder history is as follows:
- Delivery from the Porsche Center Hamburg on 18.8.1989
- The first owner sold the car on 2.6.1998 with a mileage of 172,000 to a dealer in Hamburg
- On August 16, 1998, the dealer sold the car to a diplomat from the Libyan embassy. As can be seen from other documents, the diplomat apparently acted as a front man for Hannibal al Gaddafi, one of the sons of the former Libyan ruler.
- The car was then driven in Malta, Spain and Denmark until 2006 (at 180,000 km).
- From 2007 to 2010 (at 182,000 km), there were two other owners in Hamburg, but they had moved the car very little.
- From September 2010 to April 2013 (at 186,600 km), I owned the car for the first time.
- From April 2013 to August 2022, the car was driven in southern Germany by the then owner.
- In August 2022, at 194,000 km, the car returned to my collection.
