The 930-generation Porsche 911 Turbo, introduced in 1975, was a brute in a suit, a testament to Porsche's engineering prowess and a response to the burgeoning supercar market. It was the car that cemented the 911's reputation for exhilarating performance, initially conceived as a homologation special for racing. By the mid-1980s, the 930 had evolved, offering more refinement alongside its prodigious power. However, for those who desired an even more exclusive and visually arresting machine, Porsche's Sonderwunsch (Special Wishes) program offered the "Flachbau" or "Flatnose" option, officially designated M505 for the US market. Inspired by the legendary 935 race car, the Flachbau transformed the iconic 911 silhouette with its distinctive pop-up headlights and smoothed front fenders, significantly rarer than standard Turbos with only a few hundred produced for the US market during its production run. This particular 1987 example takes that rarity a step further as a Flachbau Cabriolet, combining the aggressive aerodynamics with the thrill of open-air motoring. Finished in a sophisticated Midnight Blue, its original paintwork beautifully highlights the unique lines of the M505 bodywork. Underneath the iconic whale tail spoiler lies the formidable 3.3-liter turbocharged flat-six engine, paired with a precise manual transmission, ready to deliver its characteristic surge of power. With 68,581 miles on the odometer, this Turbo Flachbau has been driven and enjoyed, yet presents in a condition that speaks to careful ownership and preservation. This represents a truly exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly sought-after variant of Porsche's original supercar, a blend of motorsport heritage and bespoke luxury.
