1997 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet – Special Order Showpiece in Arctic Silver
This 1997 Porsche 911 (993) Carrera Cabriolet is a rare blend of classic air-cooled purity and exclusive, special-order flair. Originally finished in Arctic Silver Metallic (code L92U) , this car was custom-built through Porsche’s Exclusive program with a dramatic interior upgrade: special-order Boxster Red full leather , including dash, center console, door panels, and plush carpets — a $3,700+ bespoke option that transforms the cabin into a truly unique space.
Heavily optioned from the factory, this cabriolet showcases Porsche’s focus on refined performance. Highlights include:
3.6L flat-six engine with 282 horsepower
18" Turbo Twist wheels and Bilstein PSS10 coilovers for a confident, tuned stance
Aluminum instrument dials, shifter, and handbrake (X71, X97, X98)
Motor Sound Package (code 159)
8-way power seats (437/438), supple leather front and rear (982), leather rear seats (939)
Stainless steel door sills with model insignia (X70) and matching stainless tailpipes (X54)
Cruise Control (454), air conditioning , dual airbags , and factory boot cover
Additional enhancements include a Fabspeed exhaust system , ensuring this 993 drives as impressively as it looks. It also has an updated Porsche Classic Communication Management (PCCM), a modern infotainment system designed specifically for classic Porsche vehicles. It replaces the original factory radio with a unit that blends seamlessly with the vintage interior while offering modern technology. Original books and manuals are included, and the car boasts a batch of records, an excellent Carfax and outstanding paint and finish throughout .
With its timeless color combination, factory-exclusive options, and air-cooled pedigree, this 993 Cabriolet stands out as a collector-grade example that’s equally at home on the concours lawn or canyon roads.
