REQUEST A printable PDF document with Photos

This rare car is a 1989 911 Turbo Slant Nose Cabriolet with a two owner history and less than 18,000 original miles. This 930S Cabriolet was one of twenty-eight turbo cabriolets made with the factory slant nose option. The model year 1989 was the only year of the G50 5-speed transmission. This car is finished in flawless diamond blue metallic “paint to sample” contrasted with silk grey full leather interior and a blue canvas top.

This car is fitted with the legendary Porsche 3.3 liter turbo-charged engine producing 282 horsepower. The car is optioned with the M505 slant nose package that includes side entrance panels, pop up head lamps, and rear brake vents, limited slip differential, racing style sport seats with electric height adjustment, shorter shift gear lever, factory alarm, correct original Blaupunkt Reno stereo radio with hi-fi sound package and trunk carpeting in velour.

The car sold new for $118,580.00 when new, comes with all books, records and the original window sticker. This car was recently serviced and needs nothing. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Porsche history.

Though obviously 911-based, the Turbo Carrera was so heavily modified, both structurally and mechanically, that it was given its own factory type number: 930. The 930 was the fastest road car Porsche had ever produced, yet road-testers found it docile around town and blessed with handling that was surprisingly benign for such a potent rear-engine machine. All this moved one journalist to describe it as “the finest blend of ultimate performance and refinement,” a view that found wide agreement the world over..

For 1986 Porsche re-introduced the 930 to the Japanese and U.S. markets, now featuring an emission-controlled engine producing 282 hp (DIN). At the same time Porsche introduced the Targa and Cabriolet variants, both of which proved popular.

Porsche discontinued the 930 after model year 1989 when its underlying “G-Series” platform was being replaced by the 964. ‘89 models were the first and only versions of the 930 to feature a 5-speed transmission.
