However, as that car would not be ready until late 1989, the ‘G-Series’ was given one final update in 1984. Called the Carrera 3.2, the new car’s enlarged engine also received updated fuel injection and ignition controllers to raise output to 207hp in US-specification (in comparison to 180hp for the US-spec SC). Additionally, the larger engine brought more easily accessible torque, resulting in a somewhat more relaxed experience at low speeds. Of course, the rest of the car was also revised, with the interior bringing previously optional equipment such as air conditioning and power windows as standard equipment in the US. Furthermore, 1984 brought the official availability of the M491 ‘Turbo Look’ package (Supersport in the UK). Buyers who specified the package not only received the Turbo’s distinctive wide rear fenders and “tea tray” spoiler, but also the more powerful car’s heavy-duty suspension, high-performance brakes, and wider wheels. Initially only offered on the coupe, the M491 package was made available for all three body styles in 1985. Today, these cars are known for their incredible rarity (only a relative handful were ordered with the M491 package) and remain some of the most desirable examples of the Carrera 3.2. The incredible 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 'M491' Factory Turbo Look Cabriolet featured here is finished in classic and highly desirable Guards Red over a Cashmere (Beige) leather interior with a Black power convertible top. This investment-grade 911 is one of the rarest modern-day Porsches to be found, with only 16 produced for 1987, making this the perfect example to add to any premier collection. I personally believe the investment potential of this limited-production Porsche will grow beyond your imagination. Offered to the most sophisticated collector, investor, or enthusiast who understands and appreciates the investment potential of this iconic motorcar!
The 1987 Porsche 911, marking the debut of the 911 Carrera, represented a significant evolution for the iconic German sports car.

While still retaining its classic air-cooled character, the '87 911 offered a more refined and powerful experience for enthusiasts.
Owning a 1987 Porsche 911 is an experience that demands and rewards attention.

It's a car that encourages spirited driving and rewards skillful inputs.
Maintenance: Porsche engineering of this era is renowned for its durability, but these are still classic sports cars. Expect regular maintenance to be more involved and potentially costly than a modern vehicle. Oil changes, filter replacements, and brake servicing are routine. However, due to their age, components like rubber bushings, hoses, and fuel lines will eventually need replacement. Finding a qualified and experienced Porsche mechanic is crucial, as specialized knowledge is often required for proper upkeep. Parts availability is generally good for this generation, but some specialized items may require sourcing from dedicated Porsche parts suppliers.
Insurance: Insuring a classic Porsche like the 1987 911 typically requires specialized classic car insurance policies. These policies often offer better coverage for agreed-upon values and may have mileage limitations. Premiums will vary based on your driving record, location, the car's condition, and the agreed-upon value.
The 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera stands as a highly desirable classic sports car, representing a sweet spot in the evolution of the iconic model. It offers the raw, unfiltered driving pleasure of an air-cooled Porsche, enhanced by the improved G50 transmission and essential safety features like ABS. While it requires dedicated ownership with a focus on proper maintenance and care, the rewards are immense: an engaging driving experience, timeless styling, and a connection to automotive history that few other vehicles can match. For enthusiasts seeking a pure and classic 911 driving experience, the 1987 model is a compelling choice.
