Description:
2dr 2-door Mini-Compact Passenger Car Seller States: 1987 Porsche Carrera (Factory Turbo Look) M491The car was last purchased in 1994 in Calabas, California with21,102 miles on it. What is the code M491 for Porsche?One of the rarest 911s on the market...Porsche Option Code' M491'-known as the 'Turbo-look', meant that the car left the factory withTurbo-style wide arches, rear spoiler and wheels making it veryrare and not to be confused with cars converted to turbo archesaftermarket.This Porsche 911 Carrera cabriolet is one of 305 Cabrioletsproduced with the US-spec M491 "Turbo Look" package for the 1987model year. Power comes from a 3.2-liter flat-six paired with a G50five-speed manual transaxle, and additional equipment includes alimited-slip differential, cruise control, power-adjustable frontseats, 16? Fuchs forged wheels. This M491 911 now shows just over69kThe Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 was the first 911 offering the Turbo'slook for non-turbo cars. When the 911 Carrera 3.2 was launched in1984 you could get a nice option called the M491 option. That wasthe internal code for the works turbo-look (WTL). Officially calledthe Supersport in the UK, it was commonly known as the "Turbo-Look"and it was a pretty cool package.First of all you got the 930 Turbo's wide fenders and the hugewhaletail wing on the back, but your 911 was also quipped withupgraded suspension components, bigger wheels and the superb Turbobrakes. The 911 Carrera 3.2 WTL was immensely popular in the UnitedStates. Due to the emission rules, Porsche didn't offer a 911 Turboto US customers. So as a US citizen you couldn't get any closer toa 911 Turbo than with the WTL at that time. It was a style that resembled the 930 Turbo with wide wheel archesand the distinctive "tea tray" tail. It featured the stiffersuspension shared with the Turbo and the superior Turbo brakingsystem as well as the wider Turbo wheels. Sales of the Turbo-Lookwere high for its first two years in the United States because thedesirable 930 was not available. The Turbo-Look, received official title in the sales lists, as the930 Chassis option starting in model year 1984. The order was nowpossible without the special wish department (as previously). Atfirst, only available for the Coupe, some cabriolets were stillordered with Turbo-Look items without having option code M491 inthe internal data sheets (cardex). For these cars the"Sonderwunsch" dept. was once more responsible. From model year1985 the Turbo-Look option could be ordered on all three models;Coupe, Cabriolet and Targa produced together with the narrow bodyon the same production line. The Turbo-Look option package contained: Front fenders of 930Turbo; which, were attached the same way as the Turbo, first bywelding flares to the narrow fender, then from model year 1986 anew, widened fender as a one piece stamped steel part wasdeveloped. Side rear 930 widened fenders at the back; which, wasattached the same way as the Turbo, first by welding flares to thenarrow body, then from model year 1986 a new, widened quarter panelas one piece stamped steel part was manufactured. Porsche serviceinformation reads: "The visible from inside weld seam is omitted.The drawing part is now manufactured in one piece" The 930 frontapron with Black rubber elastic spoiler with integrated frontdriving lights. The 930 Turbo rear wing with the black rubberelastic lip of the Porsche 930 3.3 Intercooled model. More Than Just a Wide-BodyThe Turbo-Look packages was much more than just a design package.The package featured the stiffer suspension shared with the Turboand the superior Turbo braking system as well as the wider Turbowheels. Sales of the Turbo-Look were high for its first two yearsin the United States because the desirable 930 was not available,and buyers liked that they got some better hardware.The Turbo suspension was originally developed from the 3.0 RSR.Caster and negative camber were increased and a connecting pipemade of cast aluminum was installed.
