It's only the 991 Cabriolet Turbo S that has been cancelled. All other variants have been greenlighted for unlimited overtime production until demand is completely exhausted.

So there is some truth to this? Because I was hoping it some salesman bull**** talk.

Don't be silly. Porsche will satisfy demand +50% on all its cars. Then, it will make 30 combinations of S, GT, R, 3, 4, sportster, speedster, cab, half-cab, Munich, Shanghai, Miami et al special editions ad nauseam.

Pay attention to history.

More TTSs available than TTs when you look around (which I have been doing actively). I'm in the process of ordering a C4S and the build has become so pricey, I was considering a TT. Dealer has open TTS allocation but not TT. Aside from not wanting center lock wheels and PCCB, I can't justify the added expense of the TTS.
I have no idea what Porsche plans to do in the future, but there must be significant profit in a $200K car.

Talked to sales manager at apparently largest dealer in the US yesterday and he indicated the Turbo Cab's are only doing a 14 month production run on current 991 platform. I don't know when the production date started for the 991 cab turbo's but assume it was around July time frame of last year but that's a guess on my part. So by fall of this calendar year if all this is true no more turbo cab's will be made.

I read a post somewhere that said no turbo targas cause the rear window opens to far back and would hit the turbos spoiler.

The 991.2's are coming. As such, it would make sense that the production window for existing cars is ending.
