Story
The Porsche 911 is undeniably one of the most important sports cars produced in automotive history.
But it wasn’t offered as a convertible for most of the 911’s early history.
Shortly after the car’s introduction, Porsche developed a removable Targa roof that got part of the way there, but many
enthusiasts still pined for a roof that could be folded back.
Although Porsche built numerous 911 Cabriolet development cars over the years, it wasn’t until late 1982 that a full-production
Carrera Cabriolet was shown to the public.
Offered as a 1983 model, the 911 Cabriolet was Porsche’s first full cabriolet since the 356, and even with the car’s price
premium over the Targa variant, it immediately began selling well.
In the first year, more than 4,200 examples were produced, and the 911 Cabriolet has been a crucial part of the brand’s lineup since.
