The 911 Carrera 3.2, produced from 1984 to 1989, represents a high watermark for the G-body generation, refining the iconic air-cooled platform to near perfection. While the standard Carrera offered a compelling blend of performance and daily usability, Porsche understood the allure of its flagship 930 Turbo. For enthusiasts who desired the aggressive aesthetics and enhanced handling components of the Turbo without its turbocharged complexity or higher price point, Porsche offered the M491 "Turbo Look" package. This rare option bestowed the Carrera with the 930's wider fenders, iconic whale tail spoiler, and deeper front valance, along with its uprated suspension and braking systems, transforming its visual presence and dynamic capabilities. This 1985 example, finished in a striking Guards Red, stands as a testament to the M491's enduring appeal. Beyond its factory wide-body stance and Turbo spoilers, this Carrera has been elevated with a thoroughly upgraded black interior and, most significantly, a potent powertrain transformation. Beneath the rear decklid resides not the original 3.2-liter, but a meticulously crafted 3.4-liter twin-plug flat-six, professionally engineered and installed by Midwest Eurosport. This highly desirable engine conversion, paired with its original manual transmission, promises a significantly enhanced driving experience, delivering more power and responsiveness while retaining the visceral air-cooled character. With just 37,111 miles, this M491 Turbo Look Carrera represents a thoughtfully enhanced evolution of a legendary Porsche. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a factory M491 Carrera, thoughtfully upgraded for the discerning enthusiast.
