Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet 3.3, Indishrot, 1989: very well preserved, matching numbers
In 1989, for the last year of production of the long-running “G series”, now joined by the newly born 964, Porsche decided to focus on the workhorse that had always been at the top of the wish list of Porsche enthusiasts of the time: the 911 3.3 Turbo, in this case with a cabriolet body. That year, an important innovation was introduced that improved the overall pleasure of driving the 911 Turbo: we are talking about the 5-speed gearbox with hydraulic clutch, the famous G50. Only 600 Turbo Cabriolets were produced for the United States, in addition to the 244 for the Rest Of the World, so we are faced with one of the most sought-after models and, among the Turbos, undoubtedly one of the most enchanting to drive. The close ratio of the 5-speed gearbox makes the drive more dynamic, lively and less nervous, also thanks to the engine developed for the American market equipped with a catalytic converter, which is more rounded and elastic, like the turbocharged engines of the contemporary era.
