About the 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet

The 930 Turbo Cabriolet represents Porsche's boldest statement of the 1980s, combining the raw power of the legendary widowmaker with open-air thrills. Built during the final three years of the original 911 Turbo's production run, these convertibles housed the same 3.3-liter turbocharged flat-six producing 282 horsepower, complete with that infamous lag-then-surge power delivery that demanded respect. Porsche's engineers reinforced the chassis extensively to compensate for the removed roof, adding weight but maintaining structural integrity. The whale tail spoiler and flared fenders gave it an unmistakable presence that screamed excess in the best possible way. With only around 3,000 examples built across all three model years, the Turbo Cabriolet remains significantly rarer than its coupe counterpart. Today, clean examples command serious premiums, especially those with matching numbers and proper documentation. It's the ultimate expression of 1980s automotive theater, brutally fast, achingly beautiful, and genuinely dangerous in the right hands.
