Of particular note is the exceptionally well-documented history. The vehicle comes with both the original Porsche service booklet and the original Porsche Warranty Voucher from Porsche Cars North America. This rarely preserved factory document confirms the chassis number, the vehicle type 911 740, the original paint code L700, and the factory equipment, thus serving as important proof of the vehicle’s authenticity.
Furthermore, the conversion from a mile-based to a kilometer-based odometer in 1991 was documented at the Porsche Center Berlin. The first documented Porsche inspection in Germany took place as early as April 25, 1991, at just 2,491 kilometers.
The equipment includes, among other things, the coveted limited-slip differential, short-shift gearbox, power-adjustable seats, cruise control, an alarm system, and original Fuchs alloy wheels.
The overall package is complemented by an H-license plate, a current TÜV inspection, and a TÜV Süd appraisal report with a condition rating of 2+.
The combination of the original factory turbo look (M491), low mileage, original factory documentation, documented history, and outstanding overall presentation makes this Porsche 911 Carrera Speedster a rare opportunity on the international market for air-cooled Porsches.
An exceptional collector’s vehicle with high appreciation potential and great significance within Porsche’s model history.
With the 911 Speedster, Porsche created the emotional highlight of the legendary G-model series in 1989.
The flatter windshield, the characteristic double soft-top cover, and the minimalist, driver-oriented design make the Speedster one of the most sought-after variants of the classic air-cooled 911 to this day.
The factory Turbo Look version (M491) is particularly sought after. This rarely ordered special equipment package adopted the wide body, suspension, braking system, and numerous technical components of the 911 Turbo, but combined them with the high-revving 3.2-liter naturally aspirated engine, which is considered particularly robust. As a result, the Speedster WTL combines the striking appearance and driving dynamics of the Turbo with the purism and reliability of the Carrera.
Among collectors, the M491 version is now considered one of the most interesting variants of the late G-series. While the Speedster—produced exclusively in the 1989 model year—is already among the most sought-after air-cooled Porsches ever, vehicles with the original factory Turbo look are even rarer. The combination of the Speedster body, M491 package, manual transmission, and documented history makes this example a particularly attractive collector’s car.
The classic color combination of black (L700) with red leather interior underscores the vehicle’s exclusive character and lends it a timeless elegance. Together with its low mileage and documented history, this Speedster presents itself as an authentic collector’s car with a high degree of originality.
Produced in 1989, the Speedster was also the last major special model of the G-series before Porsche replaced the series with the 964. Today, it ranks among the icons of air-cooled Porsche history and enjoys consistently high demand worldwide among collectors and enthusiasts.
Vehicles of this quality, featuring the original factory turbo look, low mileage, original factory documentation, and such a traceable history, are rarely offered for sale.
