Post Porsche America Roadster

Does anyone have any links or information to these models that were produced in the early 90s?....I am definitely interested in learning more about these cars (and saving money to buy one)


Does anyone own any? thanks

I'll tell you what I know off the top of my head.

92 model year
Aluminum body panels
Turbo body work but with electric spoiler
normally aspirated 3.6
Turbo wheels, susp. & brakes

That's from memory but I'm sure someone has the full data list

I have the sales booklet for the 1993 model year. It has a couple of pages about the ameica roadster in it. prior post looks right, C2, turbo body, elec spoiler, 17" wheels from turbo, 5-speed or tip, all leather, 4 piston caliper abs brakes. the euro version pictured has no name tag on the rear.

I don't know much about 'em, but there is an attractive blond around the corner from me that has a white one with a blue rag top. Simply says "Roadster" on the back, turbo look body (I think), electric tail. Swweeet! And the car is nice too. I flash and wave everytime I see her in it, but she must think I just trying to pick her up. Hoping to see a FOR SALE sign on it someday!

The last one ever made was bought by the actor that played Apollo Creed in Rocky! (There was an article on it in excellence in '92).

so only 250 were ever made? hmmm

that would make the car a good investment for whoever has 65K to spend on one.

wish i did

I'm sorry, I clicked on this hoping to see pics of a real (or should I say original?) America Roadster. And this opens another question...think I'll make a new post.
