Porsche 911 SC

History of the Porsche Cabriolet:
In 1981, Porsche surprised the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show with the presentation of a 911 G series convertible Turbo with four-wheel drive, which heralded the future developments of the Porsche 911, namely a convertible body and all-wheel drive. If the second will come in series only on the 911 type 964 of the third generation, the 911 SC cabriolet series is presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1982. However, production does not start until ten months later in January 1983, it will have been produced for 10 months which makes it a very small production car. In the 1984 vintage, it became a 911 Carrera 3.2 convertible.

With the 911 SC / Carrera 3.2 convertible, Porsche returned to this totally open body type that it had abandoned in 1965 with the discontinuation of the 356 convertible. The first generation Porsche 911 Targa was also a convertible. But its large roll bar and rear window that changed from removable to fixed make it more of a coupe with a removable roof than a real convertible.

This new bodywork breathes new life into the career of the 911 G series. This convertible is popular. It was available in a Turbo version from the 1987 vintage. The model’s career ended in 1989 with nearly 25,000 copies produced.
