This 1985 Porsche 911 Cabriolet is factory optioned with the Turbo-look wide-body package, and it presents beautifully in the iconic color combination of Guards Red exterior with a tan, leather interior featuring sport seats. The car benefits from a comprehensive engine rebuild, as well as the installation of a new clutch assembly and new brakes. The Turbo-look package—officially referred to as Option M491—was available to discriminating Porsche customers in 1985 and could be ordered on the coupe, cabriolet and targa models. The scope of work included welding on new fender extensions on an existing narrow-body 911.
It was extremely labor intensive, requiring the partial removal of fender sections, TIG welding on the new steel fender extensions and dressing the fenders to a finished appearance. Old-world methods and materials were used in the process, such as lead filler. After the fenders were successfully flared, the front apron with the elastic spoiler was merged with the side parts. Likewise, the rear section received the same fitment of lower parts, and a rear decklid spoiler with an elastic lip was installed.
There were additional mechanical bits that came with the M491 package, including cross-drilled and vented disc brakes with multi-piston calipers sourced from the iconic 930 Turbo—the same brakes that were originally used on the all-conquering 917 race car. Wider 16-inch wheels and tires were also sourced from the 930 Turbo, as well as front and rear stabilizer bars of Turbo specification. Not only was the M491 package expensive, it also required a long wait time for completion because of the nature of its customization.
The base 911 Carrera platform that this car is based on is a universally acknowledged piece of Teutonic engineering genius with a solid reputation for performance, reliability and style.
