Powertrain & Chassis
Power comes from an air‑cooled flat‑six paired with the robust G50
five‑speed manual, a combination prized for its clean shift action and
everyday usability. The M491 specification adds the 930’s larger four‑piston
brake hardware, stiffer suspension tuning, and the signature widebody
stance, delivering confident braking and a planted, period‑correct feel
without the turbocharged theatrics.
As configured on Targa models, the widebody silhouette is especially
striking—flared rear quarters framing wider wheels and tires, a deeper front
valance, and a model‑correct rear spoiler. The result is a car that looks
and feels every bit the icon enthusiasts associate with the 930, while
retaining the naturally aspirated character of the Carrera.

Rarity & Significance
The M491 “Turbo Look” option was a low‑production package offered on
late‑G‑body Carreras (coupé, Targa, and Cabriolet), combining the 930’s
visual drama and brake/suspension hardware with the Carrera’s naturally
aspirated powertrain. 1989 represents the last year of the classic-era body,
making M491 Targas from this model year particularly sought after.
This example presents in a quintessential Porsche colorway and shows
low‑mileage usage, aligning with the kind of careful stewardship that keeps
these cars feeling special. For additional context and imagery, see the
prior listing documentation.
