1989 Porsche 911 Turbo – 42,000 km – Time Capsule

The 1989 model year stands as a landmark for Porsche enthusiasts, representing the one and only year the 930 Turbo was offered with the coveted G-series body, the legendary G50 5-speed manual transmission, and the proven 3.3-liter turbocharged flat-six. This combination makes it among the most desirable air-cooled Turbos ever produced.

Originally delivered to Japan, this example has been preserved in time-capsule condition and shows just 42,000 original kilometers (approximately 26,000 miles). It remains in exceptional condition throughout, a true testament to careful ownership and long-term preservation.

Production numbers for 1989 Turbo Coupes were extremely limited—fewer than 900 units were built, making this car rarer than many of Porsche’s celebrated specials, including the 1994 Turbo 3.6, 993 Turbo models, and even modern collectible icons like the 911 R or 911 ST.

Finished with beautiful originality and presenting as a mint example, this 1989 Turbo is more than just a classic—it is a benchmark in Porsche’s air-cooled lineage. Few driving experiences compare to the raw boost surge of the 3.3L Turbo paired with the precise engagement of the G50 gearbox.
