1985 Porsche 911 Turbo on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
The car is finished in Guards Red (027) and features “boxed” rocker panels, rear brake ducts, a “tea tray” rear spoiler, a front spoiler, foglights, a sunroof, H4 headlights with washers, body-color side mirrors, a rear foglight, and a rear wiper. The hood and spoiler are said to have been repainted during current ownership due to blemishes, while the rear bumper and right quarter panel were repaired and refinished by Exoticars Workshop of Wexford, Pennsylvania in 2021.
Staggered-width 16″ Fuchs wheels measuring 7″ up front and 8″ out back have wheel locks and are wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero Rosso tires showing 2018 production codes and sized 225/50 and 245/45 respectively. The suspension has been modified with a front strut tower brace and a rear Weltmeister sway bar. Brake ducts have also been installed along with cross-drilled rotors. The tires are said to have been mounted in 2021.
The sport seats are upholstered in black leather with a matching dashboard and door panels. Amenities include power height adjustments for the driver seat, air conditioning, electric windows, and an Alpine cassette stereo with a graphic equalizer and Rockford Fosgate speakers. The seller notes the dash and rear deck are warped.
A leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel frames a 170-mph speedometer and a tachometer along with gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and boost and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows under 8k miles, all of which were added by the seller.
The turbocharged 3.3-liter flat-six is said to have been modified with a K27 turbocharger, a larger intercooler, 911SC camshafts, a variable boost controller, and a RUF quad-outlet exhaust system. The air conditioning system was recharged and the oil cooler pump was replaced in August 2021 per the seller.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transaxle fitted with 8.41:1 gearing, a RUF clutch and pressure plate, and a short shifter.

Driving 50 years of Porsche 911 history
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Raiding The Porsche Museum For A Fun Track Day
It seems everyone is celebrating anniversaries this year: it's Aston's hundredth, Lamborghini's fiftieth, Ford Mustang's fiftieth, Chevy Corvette's sixtieth - and Tesla just turned ten or something. It's been a little out of hand, frankly, all these forced marketing festivities, but if we had to pick one milestone to really celebrate hard and party all night, the Porsche 911 would be at the top of our list.
Get ready for a major 911 blowout bash at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show. It was on September 12 back in 1963 at this very show where Porsche unveiled its "901" painted in a rather boring shade of beige. Though drably finished, the car caused a worldwide frenzy in the budding German sports car sphere.
Watch the incredibly complicated operation of Porsche's new targa roof
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Despite Porsche having claimed the name, targa tops are nothing new. In addition to the semi-roofless version of the 911, plenty of cars in the past have used removable roof panels - the new Corvette Stingray has one (as have prior generations), and this type of open-air experience has been available on past vehicles like the Pontiac Solstice Coupe and Honda Civic del Sol.
But when Porsche took the top off its brand new 911 Targa here at the Detroit Auto Show, it was indeed cause for pause. Simply put, this is one of the most complicated and intricate electronic roof panel removal techniques we've ever seen, save perhaps, for the setup found on the Japanese-market Civic del Sol from the 1990s.
We won't spoil the video for you, but basically, rather than just the roof panel coming off, the entire rear glass area lifts away the body in order for the small section over the passenger compartment to slide back. This has to be incredibly expensive to repair once it inevitably breaks. And we highly doubt you'll be able to operate this mechanism at any speed.
Porsche celebrates 50 years of 911s with limited edition model
Tue, 04 Jun 2013Despite being 50 years old now, the Porsche 911 sure is looking good for her age. And to commemorate this milestone anniversary, Porsche has created the 911 50 Years Edition you see here, which will make its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show - 50 years after the original 911 debuted at this very same expo.
What's really neat about the 50 Years Edition is that it houses a rear-wheel-drive setup inside of the wider body used for all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and 4S models. Found at the back is the 3.8-liter flat-six from the Carrera S, upgraded with the Powerkit package that increases horsepower from 400 to 430 and includes the Sport Chrono setup. According to Porsche, hitting 60 miles per hour takes just 4.2 seconds with the seven-speed manual transmission, or 3.8 seconds with the optional dual-clutch PDK.
Visual changes include two special paint colors - a darker graphite grey and a lighter geyser grey - unique 20-inch wheels that pay homage to the original Fuchs rollers of the 1963 car, and special badging at the rear and on the door sills. Inside, there are more throwbacks to the original 911, with green labeling on the instruments, white pointer needles and silver accents. What's more, the leather seats feature a fabric insert reminiscent of the Pepita design from the '60s. Looks great to us.
