With the resounding success of the 911 SC, Porsche’s engineers were given the go-ahead to begin work on a new generation of the company’s most famous model. However, as that car would not be ready until late 1989, the ‘G-Series’ was given one final update in 1984. Called the Carrera 3.2, the new car’s enlarged engine also received updated fuel injection and ignition controllers to raise output to 207hp in US-specification (in comparison to 180hp for the US-spec SC). Additionally, the larger engine brought more easily accessible torque, resulting in a somewhat more relaxed experience at low speeds. Of course, the rest of the car was also revised, with the interior bringing previously optional equipment such as air conditioning and power windows as standard equipment in the US.
Furthermore, 1984 brought the official availability of the M491 'Turbo Look' package (Supersport in the UK). Buyers who specified the package not only received the Turbo's distinctive wide rear fenders and "tea tray" spoiler, but also the more powerful car's heavy-duty suspension, high-performance brakes, and wider wheels. Initially only offered on the coupe, the M491 package was made available for all three body styles in 1987. Today, these cars are known for their incredible rarity (only a few thousand total 911s were ordered with the M491 package) and remain some of the most desirable examples of the Carrera 3.2.
The magnificent 1987 Porsche Targa M491 'Turbo Look' Targa featured here is one of just four produced in 1987 and is finished in highly desirable Guards Red over a full Champagne leather interior. This incredible Carrera 3.2 was ordered new with nearly every available option, including the aforementioned M491 'Turbo Look' package. Additionally, a previous owner ordered a clear acrylic top from GTN Automotive at a cost of nearly $10,000, giving this 'Turbo Look' 911 a unique appearance all of its own. This investment-grade Porsche has been meticulously maintained and driven just 36,852 miles from new. This Porsche represents and incredible opportunity to own what we believe to be one of the very best investments in vintage Porsches on the market today. Offered to the most sophisticated collector, investor, or enthusiast who understands and appreciates the investment potential of this extremely rare and iconic motorcar!
