Vehicle Description
Porsche offered the "Slantnose", or "Flachbau" (in German Porsche
factory speak meaning "flat construction" or "flat build"), option
under the "Sonderwunschprogramm" (special order program) for the
930 Turbo beginning in 1981. The concept of fitting an
aerodynamically slicker nose with less frontal area to the standard
911 was inspired by the Porsche 935 race cars that made their way
to LeMans victory in the late 1970s. Each "Flachbau" unit was
handcrafted by remodeling the front fenders with "slanting" lines
and flip up headlights, and additional bodywork that included
rocker panel extensions, and uniquely styled intake vents ahead of
the rear wheels. Very few of these cars were ever built with this
special Slantnose option 505, in fact, only 948 units left the
factory in Zuffenhausen from 1981 to 1989, making these original
cars rarer than the legendary 1973 Carrera RS.
This 1989 930 Turbo Slantnose Coupe was recently acquired from a
local collector in highly original and unrestored condition with
only 50,818 miles on the odometer. The 1989 model 930 Turbo was
also the only year of the 5-speed manual transmission for the 930
Turbo, and the final year of the "G-body" 911s before moving to
production of the 964 series 911s. This incredibly rare car is
finished in its original Grand Prix White paint over gray leather
sports seats, checks all the boxes of desirability in today's
enthusiast market. The sale of this vehicle also includes the
original manuals, tool kit, additional keys, and service
history.
