Widebody Coupe (M491) (1984 to 1989)

Often referred to as the Turbo-Look, Super Sport or by its factory option code M491, the Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Widebody represents one of the most visually striking and desirable specifications of the G-body era. Introduced as an option rather than a separate model, the M491 package gave the Carrera 3.2 the full widebody shell of the 930 Turbo, along with its upgraded brakes and stiffer suspension, while retaining the naturally aspirated 3.2-litre flat-six rather than the Turbo’s forced induction. This combination delivered the presence and hardware of a Turbo with the simpler, more linear driving character of the Carrera, and was available in Coupe, Targa, and Cabriolet body styles. In the Australian market, M491 cars are rare and tightly held, with most examples arriving via import and commanding strong interest from collectors who value their Turbo aesthetics, lower complexity, and limited production numbers. Values are driven by body style, gearbox (G50 premium), originality, documentation, and condition, with correctly specified, matching-numbers cars increasingly viewed as top-tier Carrera 3.2 variants rather than a separate model line.
