In 1984, Porsche replaced the SC with what proved to be the final variant of the G-Series 911, the Carrera 3. 2. As the name suggests, the flat-6 received a displacement increase to 3. 2L (from 3. 0L) along with an updated fuel injection/ ignition controller and other upgrades. This brought power up to 231hp (207hp for the US) from 204hp (180hp in the US), not only increasing performance, but assisting with drivability. In addition, the usual interior and exterior adjustments kept the model up to date with buyer’s expectations.
While the rest of the world could still purchase a 911 Turbo in 1984, Porsche had pulled the car from North American shores several years prior due to emissions requirements. Therefore, to appease the NA buyers and offer a model in-between the standard car and the Turbo, the company announced the M491 package. Commonly called the “Turbo-Look” package (referred to as the Supersport package in the UK), buyers who checked the M491 option box essentially received a 911 Turbo with the standard car's motor. Wide rear fenders, heavier-duty suspension components, high-performance brakes, and wider wheels ensured the package was far more than a simple appearance upgrade.
Initially, the M491 could only be ordered by special request as a Coupe, but for 1985, one could specify the package as a regular production option for any of the three available body styles. When the 911 Turbo re-appeared in US order books for 1986, M491 orders plummeted, with some documentation suggesting as few as 113 ‘Turbo Look’ Cabriolets were produced for the US market in 1985. All told, only a few thousand 911s were produced with the ‘Turbo-Look’ package and all are highly desirable today.
The superlative 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera 3. 2 'Turbo Look' Cabriolet featured here is finished in stunning Black over a Cashmere leather interior with a Black folding convertible top. This exquisite motorcar has been meticulously maintained and is one of only 113 produced for the US market in 1985, making this one of the lowest production G-Series 911s. Due to its condition and rarity, I believe this 911 will prove to be a tremendous investment to its next caretaker. Offered to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who desires to own one of the very best!
