with this rare 930 Performance Body/Chassis option, it is the complete 930
Turbo Carrera Car minus the turbo charged drive train. Or you could say,
minus the high maintenance and headaches, which makes this a very solid and
sought after car. In 1984 the U.S. EPA would
not allow Porsche to export 930 Turbo cars to the USA, so they exported the car
minus the turbo charged drive train. This option was called the 930
Performance Body/Chassis option. [Option code: 491] These cars are very rare being that they
were produced for The car is in very nice
condition in and out as you can see in the pics. I have owned it for 16 years.
It has never been in rain during that time. It is always covered in
the garage with a tan flannel lined fitted cover which is also included with
the car (see pics). As you can see in
the pic of the rear of the car, it has a B&B stainless header exhaust
system w/heat exchangers that has been kept polished through the years. This car has been entered
into three shows over the years and has placed very well each time. In 1998 the car won Second

Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport Tires (225/45ZR17 and 275/40ZR17) Below is an original article
regarding the important history of this M491 “Turbo Look” street car: These special order Carreras contain many suspension and body
upgrades developed by Porsche’s competition department. The 1973 RSR 2.8
Carrera was the first example of Manufacturing Option “491” developed
specifically for Group 4 road racing. This track-dominating car appeared on the
scene with bulging fenders, looking like a “wide-bodied” 911 on steroids. One
notable chassis improvement was the relocation of rear suspension mounting
points. This change in suspension geometry and rear trailing arms kept newly
developed 11-inch rear wheels and tires firmly planted on the road. Stopping
power was vastly improved by using drilled and vented rotors with finned
4-piston calipers originally developed for the all-conquering 917. Over the
years scores of victories would be won by many a 911 with the famed M491
option. During the late seventies, Porsche
quietly began offering “Turbo Look” street cars; most being produced between
the years of 1984 thru 1989. Heavier than original track cars, but
incorporating similar production parts; every factory “Turbo-Look” Carrera has
a unique pedigree and connection to these legendary racing cars and their
variants by virtue of its recognized M491 option build code. |

Why you must buy an air-cooled Porsche 911 now
Fri, 14 Feb 2014"Because" might be a good response to our headline, but as a vintage (purists might call 'proper') Porsche 911 is hardly cheap, we suspect you'll need a better explanation than that. Enter Drive editor Mike Spinelli.
Spinelli sits down with Zac Moseley and Mick Prichinello from Classic Car Club Manhattan to first explain why the market for old, air-cooled 911s has gotten so hot over the past few years, and to discuss if it's a bubble that's about to burst. Following that, this video is really is just three guys sitting around talking about old Porsches for 35 minutes. Which, you know, we're pretty onboard with.
Scroll down and have a look at the latest episode of After/Drive, from Drive.
Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
Porsche Macan Turbo vs Cayman GTS in track battle
Fri, 19 Sep 2014"Well this is stupid." On the surface, that was our reaction to this video, as well. Why would you compare the hottest Porsche Cayman with a crossover of any kind, even if it is the 400-horsepower Macan Turbo?
We're guessing because it'd be bloody good fun, as evidenced Auto Express's latest track battle. To be fair, there is some interesting stuff here. The two do have a similar starting price, separated by less than $3,000 here in the US market. And, factoring in the Macan's hefty horsepower and torque advantages - 60 horsepower and 126 pound-feet - does make for a slightly interesting comparison.
We won't spoil the verdict, so check out the full video from Auto Express, and then let us know what you think in Comments.
