Another notable aspect is the general improvement in ergonomics and build quality, reflecting the model’s continuous evolution throughout the decade. With just 54,000 km on the clock, a car in this condition is quite rare, particularly as it retains its originality. The presence of air conditioning (AC), although common today, was a highly valued option at the time and not all vehicles included it, especially in the European market. In terms of production, the 3.2 series (manufactured between 1984 and 1989) represents the final evolution of the so-called “G-Series” prior to the introduction of the 964.
The 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Targa is one of the most iconic models from Porsche’s classic era, combining robust engineering, timeless design and an exceptionally pure driving experience. Fitted with the well-known 3.2-litre air-cooled six-cylinder boxer engine, this model delivers around 231 hp (in the European version), powered by the Bosch Motronic injection system, which at the time represented a significant advance in terms of efficiency and reliability. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes around 6 seconds and the top speed exceeds 240 km/h, figures that were quite impressive for the 1980s.
The Targa version is distinguished by its characteristic central arch in brushed stainless steel and its removable roof, offering an experience halfway between a coupé and a cabriolet, with greater structural rigidity than a traditional convertible.

In terms of production, the 3.2 series (manufactured between 1984 and 1989) represents the final evolution of the so-called “G-Series” prior to the introduction of the 964.
Around 3,000 units of the 911 3.2 Targa were produced across all global markets, with the European versions accounting for only a small proportion of that figure, which contributes to its value on the classic car market. Interestingly, this model is often seen as the ideal balance between classic and everyday practicality: it retains the analogue and mechanical character of the early 911s, yet offers sufficient reliability for regular use. The absence of modern electronic aids makes for a purer driving experience, particularly due to the rear-engine layout, which strongly influences cornering behaviour — something that is part of its appeal for purists. Today, the 1987 Porsche 911 3.2 Targa is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts, not only for its historical value, but also for its iconic aesthetics, unmistakable sound and direct connection to the road — a true piece of engineering that encapsulates the spirit of the classic Porsche.
