Did the VR4 come in a Spyder version? I thought the Spyders were all FWD N/A Cars like the SL.

Yes, but in very few numbers. Something like 800-900 VR-4 Spyders were made.

All great guesses...
The VR-4 was produced in a spyder version during the '95-'96 MY. You can read all about them here: 3000GT Spyder Site

I'll post pics of the answer this evening when I get home. It's not an Audi or Mitsubishi....

-Chike

P.S. Another clue is that the 'convertible' verison of this car was first introduced in the '04 MY.

Right make, wrong model!

So what the hell else could it be. Boxster and Carrera GT are RWD. Cayenne is most definitely not a convertible. There are no other current production porsches...

I also park next to a Boxster! Sweet looking cars. But nope, this car is definitely a Porsche, awd and a convertible....

One of the female VP's at my company drives it. Used to own a blue '00 Acura NSX-T before this one.
