About this car
This 1989 Porsche 911 Turbo presents a low-mileage example of the final-year 930, finished in Linen Gray Metallic over Linen Gray leather. The wide-body coupe rides on classic 16-inch Fuchs forged alloy wheels and carries the signature Turbo stance with front and rear spoilers, flared fenders, headlight washers, fog lights, a rear wiper, hood-mounted driving lights, dual exhaust outlets, and a power sunroof.
Power comes from the turbocharged 3.3-liter flat-six rated at 282 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque, routed through the desirable five-speed G50 manual transaxle and limited-slip differential to the rear wheels. Factory suspension upgrades include sway bars, Bilstein dampers, and a front strut tower brace, while four-wheel cross-drilled and ventilated disc brakes provide stopping power. The car shows 31,669 miles and has received recent service including tie-rod replacement, fuel-pump replacement, oil service, and transaxle fluid change.
Inside, power-adjustable front seats trimmed in Linen Gray leather with black piping sit before a four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel. The cabin is equipped with air conditioning, power windows, an analog clock, and a Porsche CD-2 stereo system. Classic VDO instrumentation includes a central tachometer with a 6,700 rpm redline, a 170 mph speedometer, and gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, oil level, fuel level, and boost pressure.

The Porsche 911 Carrera G-Series, produced between 1974 and 1989, represents a significant evolution of the iconic 911 lineup. Over its 15-year production run, approximately 196,000 units were manufactured across various trims, including the Carrera, making it one of the longest-running generations of the 911. The G-Series introduced key updates like impact bumpers to meet U.S. safety regulations and galvanized steel bodies for improved corrosion resistance, enhancing longevity—a critical factor for collectors.
Engine options varied, with the Carrera models typically featuring air-cooled flat-six engines ranging from 2.7 to 3.2 liters, producing between 175 and 231 horsepower depending on the year and market. Performance highlights include the 1984-1989 Carrera 3.2, which achieved 0-60 mph in around 5.6 seconds. Notable for collectors are rare variants like the 911 Turbo (930) and special editions such as the 1988 Commemorative Edition, built to celebrate 250,000 911s produced. Values have risen steadily, with well-maintained examples often fetching over $50,000, and rare models exceeding $100,000 at auctions. The G-Series’ blend of classic design, durability, and historical importance as a transitional model makes it highly sought after in the exotic car market.
