996 Carrera 4S Cabriolet - production soon to be stopped?

It came to our attention that Porsche plans to stop Carrera 4S Cabriolet production soon.
Rumours indicate that the last cars will exit production in february 2005.

Does it mean that the 997 version will be out soon?

for what its worth, i don't think they will release the C4S until after the Turbo comes out

or simultaneously..

FWIW, the 996C4 came out in 99, only one year after the 996C2. If they do the same with the 997, we should see the 997C4 very soon (if there is one) but I doubt we will see the 997C4S version with the Turbo body before the actual Turbo

Security stopped our tour in Weissach at a certain point because a new prototype was going through the line that we weren't allowed to see. Apparently the whole chassis assembly section was closaed off the day before for hte same reason.

I was told that it wasn't the Turbo as they currently have no 4wd car in production on the 997 base. I thought either GT3 or a 4S.

No, this means that the 997 Carrera and Carrera S Cabriolets will be out soon.

So Porsche is scared that the 996 4S Cabrio will take a big chunk of the market from the 997 Cabrio if it's still in production?

the C4S may steal a bit from the carreraS S cab's sales since they are likely to be similar priced (with options)

something absurdly low, like under 1000. most were customer orders that spilled over from 04

Glad to hear they are fearful. I love my '04 C4S Cab, and bought it for a reason - I don't love the 997.
