993 - Skunk Works/Secret Models and options
In a thread about the Turbo S in the 993 Turbo forum there was a 993 Turbo Cab mentioned. Officially not the 993 program, but still they made a few with the 964 engine I believe.

Does anyone know if there any more Skunk Works project from Porsche that could be interesting to know?!

I do not recall where I saw the story, maybe one of the Speed Channel stories, or a Porsche book, but they did make some Turbo Cabs, only a handful and only to prepaid customers as the story goes. I believe that no one in Porsche knew about it until after the fact. It might have been a magazine article, but it was true as they showed pictures of the car.

As always, with age comes experience....
Zamirz & GreggT
Road Atlanta, Braselton, GA
Yannick Dalmas was the driver to decide to move on to the skies with the GT-1
Let me check if I can find it somewhere on the net, otherwise, PM me and I'll send it by mail (it's very small)

It's the "Brutal!!! - Car Crashes - Porsche GT-1.mpg"
It looks like a members site, so please download it instead of streaming it so the owner doesn't get into any "bandwith trouble"
Oh, btw take a look at "Värsta Motorsågen.asf"
Someone bored made a chainsaw out off a V8-engine....

That was Road Atlanta at the first Petit LeMans, 98' I believe, I was sitting in the essess when that happened, got to see it on the big screen though, very impressive, disappointing, but impressive.

Back to the original topic ---
I remember a year or two ago that Road and Track ran an article on these 993 turbo cabs. They were the product of a number of valued (read: loaded) customers requesting a factory turbo cab. I dont recall exactly how many were made, but it was less than a hundred, i think. Hope this helps -- maybe run a search on the R&T site?
