1988-Porsche-911 Anniversay Edition

Description

In 1988, 25 years after the presentation of the original 901, Porsche introduced a limited series of Anniversary models based on the Carrera 3.2. The Carrera 3.2 is considered by many to be the ultimate evolution of the original 911, with the 1987 to 1989 models being especially desirable. During the 25 years, the 911 developed continuously, cementing Porsche’s reputation as a manufacturer of some of the world’s most capable yet practical sports cars. The Carrera 3.2 was introduced in 1984, and featured a host of improvements over the SC that it replaced, the most significant of which was the 3.2 litre flat-6 that replaced the previous 3.0 litre version. The engine included improved chain-tensioners that were lubricated by oil to prevent the premature failures that plagued the SC. It also boosted horsepower from 180hp to 214hp for the 1988 model. The Carrera 3.2 improved during its production run, and the most desirable updates arrived in 1986 and 1987. In 1986, a redesigned dashboard with larger vent openings arrived, and more importantly, a hydraulic clutch was also employed. In 1987, Porsche introduced the improved G50 transmission (identifiable by the positioning of reverse next to first rather than below fifth). To celebrate 25 years of 911 production, Porsche produced 876 Anniversary models(of which 300 came to the United States), which received Metallic Diamond Blue paint. The interior of the Anniversary model is more luxurious than the stock Carrera 3.2 interior. The cars received full leather on seats and door panels in dark metallic blue as well as linen heavy carpets. Anniversary models are further distinguished by embroidered \”F. Porsche\” signatures on the seat headrests. This car is fitted with a short-throw shifter and a Momo carbon fibre shift knob, car has covered just over 95,000 miles.
