Why it matters
Porsche never offered a 993 Turbo Cabriolet in its regular range, so these 14 cars built by the Exclusive department are the only open 993-generation Turbos of the period. They combine the 993 Cabriolet body with the single-turbo 3.6-litre running gear of the previous 964 Turbo, making them the only rear-wheel-drive 993 Turbos.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
02Production & history

Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory package productionunits built | 141 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
According to an account the source itself calls unofficial, the Munich dealer MAHAG proposed the car after seeing the 993 Cabriolet at the 1993 Geneva show, and Porsche agreed once a minimum order of ten was placed. Production in the Exclusive department began in May 1995, in parallel with the launch of the 993 Turbo coupé at Geneva that March. The cars use a narrow Carrera Cabriolet body with rear arches widened to Turbo width, and the engine, brakes and wheels of the 964 Turbo 3.6. By VIN they are 1995 models and reached customers before the twin-turbo, all-wheel-drive 993 Turbo coupé.

Identification guide
How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.
A genuine car combines a 993 Cabriolet body (narrow Carrera shell with rear arches widened to Turbo width) with 964 Turbo 3.6 mechanicals: the single-turbo M64/50 engine, 964 Turbo 3.6 brakes and wheels, and rear-wheel drive only. The rear spoiler is the X93 option spoiler from the 964 Turbo S.
