Beautiful but likely won’t make it to 31k kms at that price.

That's what you ask when you plan to sell it around € 700k.

Seems like the worst of all world's - 360bhp executive jet designed for the Autobahn with a soft top and bendy chassis!

I just noticed the horsepower figure. I thought that the 993TT was north of 400hp, with the WLS versions pushing 450. How is this car only 360?

The vendor says 360 hp so maybe these 'special' cars were detuned by the Factory to cope with the chassis flex?

Gotcha! Yeah, it could be. The 0-100 km/h is also slower than the literature states for the 993TT, 4.8 vs. 4.5 sec.

These cars were produced with the 964 turbo 3.6 engine, not the 993tt engine and they were RWD, not awd.

Begs the question of why they would command such a premium.

I’m not a big cab fan, but this is a very
Special cabriolet that “technically never existed”. It’s a single turbo 964 engine stuffed into a 993 cab with rear wheel drive. 1 of 14.
