The vehicle in detail

Engine No. 68H01480
Transmission No. 77H02115

One of the most iconic body styles to leave the factory in Stuttgart, the Slantnose variant of the 911 Turbo is a cornerstone race-derived Porsche. Its slanted front fascia concept came directly from the 935 racing car, with the Slantnose clearly showing both form and function. Its sleek aerodynamic nose discarded the Type 930’s upright headlights, opting instead for a simpler hood line with pop-up headlights and cooling vents integrated within its front fenders. Customers eager to chase the most expensive and exclusive Porsche model approached Porsche’s Sonderwunsch or “Special Wishes” division to bring their beloved race car to the road.

These hand crafted and highly customized versions of the 911 Turbo trickled out of the factory in the early 1980s, and as the allure of the Slantnose grew, Porsche offered the Slantnose treatment as a factory option code M505 for the U.S. and M506 for the Rest of World markets beginning in 1987. Of course, exclusivity has its price. The Slantnose option commanded a $23,826 premium on debut, nearly two thirds of the price of a base Carrera Coupe at the time! Beyond the cosmetic upgrades, the Slantnose was fitted with extensive performance improvements as well. Flared rocker panels, side-mounted oil and brake cooling ducts, and vented front fenders all contributed to reduced front-end lift and improved thermal management at high speeds. These upgrades added to the prowess and capability of the Slantnose, matching looks and athleticism in equal measure.

This California-market (C03) Slantnose Turbo Coupe is presented in classic Grand Prix White over a “98” code interior which Porsche’s 1987 dealership Fact Book describes as “Interior with Variation of Std. Color/Material.” The unexpected combination of Burgundy seats, dashboard, steering wheel, and door tops and Black door panels, center console, and carpeting is likely rarer than the Slantnose model itself! A limited slip differential, steering wheel with raised hub, and an alarm system round out the factory-fitted options. Of course, powering the rear wheels is the Type 930’s 282-horsepower, 3.3-liter turbocharged air-cooled flat-six paired to a four-speed manual transmission.

This original example has been well cared for and documented over its 26,034 miles. Its original service book records its first owner located in Portola Valley, California, sold through Carlsen Porsche, now Porsche Redwood City on 19 March 1988. The substantial history file and clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report record ownership throughout its time on the road in California with a stopover in Ohio during a change of ownership. Its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity verifies that it is a full matching-numbers example, and a history file with service receipts and invoices reveals a slow but steady accumulation of mileage over the years. This file tells the tale of a Slantnose that has been well cared for, a collector grade example—just the type of car that is becoming harder to find by the day.

The 911 Turbo Slantnose is a car whose rarity, motorsport pedigree, and hand-built construction place it in rarified air. With only 144 Coupes delivered to the U.S. for 1987, this example’s low mileage and outstanding preservation offers a unique opportunity to acquire a genuine icon of 1980s performance and style.
