Default 94 Turbo S Cabrio?

In St. Louis a few weeks ago, I saw a black Cabrio with the bodywork of a 1994 Turbo S flat nose. The back had the Turbo script and everything looked authentic, but I did not think such a car existed. Is this the real thing or a regular 964 Cabrio in drag?
I am trying to figure out how to upload a pic from my camera phone. The car did look incredible. Anyone know the owner?

Not sure you're asking in the best forum... try the 964 turbo folks.

You saw a 1994 flatnose turbo S or Flachbau. there were 22 made and if
you look on flachbau.com its the registry of these cars.
The flatnose option alone was like 90K or more than a regular 911.
Porsche always does neat stuff like this at the end of a run. Problem
is us normal citizens dont catch wind of this till its too late.

SO Yea you can ask that here.

I believe the cost for the flatnose package was 60K.

Bill,
are you sure it wasn't a slantnose cab? the script on the back would say Turbo S.

Don,
I'm sure it was a duplicate of your pearl white Turbo S but as a cabrio. I'm familiar with these cars as I've been up close and personal with them at the StL Porsche club show. My question was simply if such a thing exists as a factory car or is it a 964 Cabrio with body panels. I know how rare this model is and had never seen mention of a turbo S Cabrio. Anyone had any hard info?
I didn't take a picture of the back and don't recall if it had the "S" on the script. I saw it parked in downtown Clayton outside of Miso and Roxanne....
Still working on the upload. It will show a black 94 Turbo S body as a cabrio. Where do I find my Rennlist member # so I can load the photo.
