Default 993 Turbo S...Cabriolet?

does Porsche 993 Turbo S have a Cabriolet version in US?

I saw one park on Fair Oak AVE, Pasadena, CA.

it does has the air hole on the side like normal Turbo S, and the brake calipers are yellow like other Turbo S.

but I never know there are a 993 Turbo S cabriolet.
is there are such thing? or people just buy a 993 carrea cabriolet and make it like a Turbo S?

There have been no Turbo cabs available in the US since the 80s.

Most likely it was just a 993 C2 cab with Turbo S mods.

Porsche never sold a 993 Turbo Cab, at least in the US, however one of my instructors at the Porsche Club autocross school at 3COM Park a few years ago was building one. He was planning on swapping a 993 TT motor into his burgundy 993 C4 Cabriolet. I don't know if he every finished the project.

As far as I know they never made a 993 Turbo Cab. at all, anywhere in the world.

There are, however, many 993 C2's with Turbo bodies etc. around out there
