Actually, Porsche did produce a 993 turbo cab, but it's an almost mythical creature.

Only 8 vehicles, and they were not fitted with the biturbo motor from the 993-turbo, but came with the 964 Turbo 3.6 single turbo engine.

According to the "Porsche 993 The Essential Companion" by Adrian Streather, Porsche built 14 of these 1995 turbo cabs which were 2wd narrow body cars built with the 964 3.6 and 5spd manual.

14? Interesting, I had always heard 8, but if Adrian says 14, then 14 it is.

Hey Tom, hows it?
I actually own a 640+hp twin turbo cab, based on the 964 America widebody car, with full 993 6 sp drivetrain and 993 front body clip and S rear fenders. Former owner wanted 993 tt cab and put about $100k into giving it his best shot. Its a very unique ride with style. And its very fast!
Really slick JRZ triple adj. susp eliminates the snap oversteer so even with all the power its fairly predictable, although I drive it with great respect!

That car was built by Bob Holcomb. Keep me in mind when you're done with it.
