Hey Porsche fans and model building enthusiasts! Today we present you the fascinating Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Cabriolet of the G series (Revell Shoplink), which was introduced to the public in 1983.

So buckle up and let’s explore the special features of this classic together!
The introduction of the 911 Cabriolet in 1983 was in itself a historic event for Porsche. It was the first open production model of the 911 since the 356 Cabriolet .
What Makes the 911 Carrera 3.2 Cabriolet So Special?
The 911 Carrera 3.2 Cabriolet is not just a sports car — it is a driving legend! With its 3.2-liter six-cylinder boxer engine delivering a solid 231 hp (170 kW), it gets you to the most beautiful tours in no time.
The vehicle is the perfect combination of performance, elegance, and the incomparable driving feel of an open Porsche. One of the coolest innovations was the electric soft top, which Porsche offered from April 1986. Imagine sitting behind the wheel and with the push of a button the roof opens – pure cabrio feeling!
Speaking of feeling: The red leather interior that adorned some models was simply the hammer. It became particularly elegant when the front seats additionally had a piping in body color, a real highlight for design lovers.
Porsche was ahead of its time when it came to rust protection. From 1975 they used hot-dip galvanized sheet metal and from 1986 even gave a ten-year warranty against perforation rust. That was absolutely revolutionary at the time and shows how much Porsche focused on quality.
What Did the 911 Carrera 3.2 Cabriolet Become Famous For?
The car is above all known for its reliability and longevity. It was so to speak the rock in the turbulent world of 80s sports cars. Many consider it the highlight of the G series, which was produced from 1973 to 1989.The model also became particularly famous for its versatility. It was equally at home on the racetrack as on a leisurely Sunday drive. The combination of performance, comfort, and the open driving experience made it a coveted object for collectors and enthusiasts alike. 
Walter Röhrl, the rally legend, owns a 1989 Carrera Cabriolet. It is one of the last 3.2-liter models shortly before the 964 was introduced. Röhrl is quoted as saying: “No human needs more power than this engine, the 3.2 is one of the best 911 series engines”.
What Makes the 911 Carrera 3.2 Cabriolet Particularly Interesting for Model Builders?
For you as a model builder, this is a real dream! The characteristic features of the G series, like the bellows bumpers that could absorb impact speeds of up to 8 km/h, are a real challenge to replicate. But that’s what makes it so exciting, right? The details are what make this model so special.

And don’t forget the electric soft top! Replicating that is a task for real model building pros.
