Porsche 993 Turbo Cabrio

The price for this new car came in at an eye-watering 240,300 DM, 89,500 DM more than a regular 993 cabriolet. Only 14 Turbo Cabriolets were sold in total. Porsche even gave them their own production designation and a unique VIN series.

Believed to have been commissioned by Willi Weber, Michael Schumacher’s long-time manager, this example sports black paintwork with black wheels over a matching black interior with a maroon convertible top. There are numerous carbon fibre options fitted to the interior including a carbon fibre steering wheel, instrument binnacle, gearstick, hand brake, and door cards. Interestingly, this example also features a special gearbox with no clutch pedal. Sourced from RUF, this was installed by Porsche exclusive.

According to the original service manual, the car was delivered in February of 1995, directly through Porsche in Stuttgart. The car’s second owner acquired it in February 1997. A guarantee certificate accompanying the car shows that it was purchased by him at Porsceh Zentrum Düsseldorf, having driven 8,220 km from new. He spared no expense on upkeep, as a result, it presents beautifully today. Acquired by the current and third custodian in early 2018, it was then imported to Switzerland and still remains in well-preserved, original condition throughout. Amongst the rarest of 993s, this Turbo Cabriolet would be an excellent addition to the world’s finest Porsche collections.
