The 911 Carrera 3.2, produced from 1984 to 1989, represents a beloved sweet spot in the air-cooled era, often considered the ultimate refinement of the original G-Series platform. It introduced a more robust 3.2-liter flat-six engine, a significant upgrade from its 3.0-liter predecessor, delivering a noticeable bump in power and torque. However, for a select few, the standard Carrera wasn't quite enough. Enter option M491, the "Turbo-Look" package, which bestowed the Carrera with the aggressive wide fenders, upgraded suspension, and formidable braking system of the contemporary 930 Turbo. This factory wide-body variant offered the iconic presence and enhanced dynamics of the Turbo without the complexities of its turbocharged engine, making it a highly coveted, limited-production model. This particular 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa M491 is one of a mere 65 examples produced for the US market, making it an exceptionally rare find. It retains its matching-numbers 3.2-liter air-cooled flat-six engine, paired with the engaging 915 5-speed manual transaxle. Finished in its factory-correct Black (Schwarz), this Targa's purposeful wide-body silhouette is beautifully complemented by a parchment interior, presenting a classic and sophisticated color combination. With its four-wheel disc brakes and the unmistakable Turbo-Look, this Carrera Targa offers a compelling blend of iconic styling and driving purity. This is an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a true collector-grade air-cooled Porsche, distinguished by its rarity and factory performance enhancements.
