Default Porsche 968 Roadster Prototype

Have been off the 968 websites for some time so I apologize if this has been posted previously.

I recently received notice from the Porsche 968 Club in Germany that the 968 Roadster Prototype was spotted during a visit by the Swedish magazine :Granturismo-Magazine" this year. The Prototype was a Cabriolet in Tahoe Blue, with the Turbo S wheels. Inside had exterior color panels but no seats. The magazine crew filmed the Protype being transported from the Porsche Museum - film can be seen at:'

A second prototype was also spotted in the Porsche Museum, a Cabriolet in special order paint color.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Hanukkah to all you 968 fans.

Was posted before. Here are a few screen shots from the video and a photo of the interior. The Wheels are actually 964 Speedlines (not 968 Turbo S), as they are not polished.






Too bad the 968 didn't sell well enough...A production roadster would have been nice. I just wish there was a photo of the front end so I could see those fixed headlights on the roadster.

Yeah, the shots have been kicking around. I've liked the passenger grabhandle thingy.
