The body is finished in Guards Red (L027) with a black convertible top and a matching top boot. The M491 option features the wider front and rear fenders from the contemporary 911 Turbo along with front and rear spoilers, integrated front fog lights, and headlight washers. Close-ups of the paintwork, trim, and lenses are included in the gallery below.
Fuchs 16″ wheels feature satin-black centers with anodized lips and are wrapped in 205/55 front and 245/45 rear Fuzion ZRi tires, with a temporary spare tire mounted in the front trunk. M491-specific equipment includes Turbo-specification brakes, anti-roll bars, trailing arms, and torsion bars.
Black leather covers the seats, and the color-coordinated carpets are protected by matching floor mats with red Carrera-logo embroidery. Equipment includes powered height adjustment for the driver’s seat, cruise control, power windows, and an alarm system, as well as an Alpine stereo paired with a Kicker amplifier located in the trunk and revised speakers. The removed Blaupunkt Monterey AM/FM/cassette stereo and speakers are included in the sale.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a central 7k-rpm tachometer, a 170-mph speedometer, a quartz analog clock, and gauges for oil temperature, oil pressure, oil level, battery voltage, and fuel level.
The air-cooled 3.2L flat-six is fitted with an aftermarket conical air filter, and the catalytic converter has been removed and is included in the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transaxle and an optional limited-slip differential. The shifter coupler was recently replaced, along with a CV boot.

Porsche recalling 4,400 911, Boxster and Cayman models over hood latches
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Porsche has issued a "precautionary" and voluntary safety recall affecting some 4,400 sports cars across the globe. Here in the United States, the recall includes 1,382 911, Boxster convertibles and Cayman coupes, all of which are from model years 2014 and 2015.
Porsche will be replacing the lock bracket for the front cargo area (the frunk) after internal testing revealed that, while the vehicles meet "strength requirements," specific parts might not meet the company's quality standards throughout the vehicle's life. There have been no reports of accidents or injuries.
Owners of the affected cars will be notified within 60 days and will need to report to a nearby dealer for a free repair, which should take about 30 minutes.
Porsche reveals first Macan driving and manufacturing footage
Fri, 13 Dec 2013One of the more anticipated offerings of the upcoming year, Porsche's sporty baby Cayenne, the 2015 Macan, has already earned nods of approval from a number of Autoblog staffers. We named it one of the top five debuts at last month's LA Auto Show, citing its 400-horsepower turbocharged engine and other sporty bits as good reasons to get excited about Stuttgart's latest.
And while our first test may be many months away, we're keeping our ears to the ground for any information on Porsche's compact crossover. We're especially keen on stuff like this - our first look at the new model in motion and undergoing assembly at its Leipzig plant. Both are shorter videos, and while there's little of the glorious engine noise we've already been teased with, the videos do offer a great look at the handsome Macan on the road, as well as glimpse at Porsche's state-of-the-art manufacturing operations.
Scope out the videos below and let us know what you think.
Porsche's Mauer recalls the history of the 918 Spyder, hints about next-gen 911
Wed, 26 Feb 2014The night before Porsche handed me the keys to its 2015 Macan to drive on both road and track, the company threw together a great dinner for the assembled media in Leipzig. Hosted in Porsche's spaceship-shaped customer delivery center in the eastern German town, I'll admit that I spent the bulk of my night grabbing hors d'oeuvres from passing waiters (they do a nice tuna sashimi), milling around a collection of historic and interesting vehicles on the top floor and gulping down Warsteiner.
In an era of mega car companies, the story of how the 918 came to be was really refreshing.
Before the evening was over, however, Porsche design chief Michael Mauer stopped by my table to exchange pleasantries and thank us all for coming out to drive the Macan. My fellow diners and I passed a pleasant half-hour or more picking the brain of the forthcoming Mauer, and somehow or another, the topic turned to Porsche's newest supercar, the 918 Spyder. In an era of mega car companies (the Volkswagen Group included) and massive development teams, the story of how the 918 came to be is really refreshing.
