There was also a sports group offer for the 911 SC available, these models were better for racing as they had stiffer suspension, rear spoiler and front lip spoiler.
The first truly convertible 911 appeared in 1981 with the Cabriolet version of the car. The Carerra RS and Porsche 911 SC Cabriolet was incredibly successful and out-sold every other Porsche to date.
