1985 | Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 (WTL)

Very rare 1985 Porsche Works Turbo Look (WTL / option code I491). It borrows aesthetic and many structural features from the original Porsche 911 Turbo. With its naturally aspirated engine, it was the first to officially feature parts of the Turbo's advanced chassis, some of the wheel suspensions and brake system (which was derived from the high-performance 917 System). It also includes the Turbo’s iconic XXL wheel arches and “whale tail” rear spoiler.   

Brakes were state-of-the-art, featuring large, thick brake discs and aluminum hubs for impressive deceleration. Wheel sizes and equipment varied depending on the target market, with larger wheels being offered starting in 1986. 

This example

Only 19 WTLs were ever sold in France, and this immaculate 1985 example is the best kept of the lineage. It comes in Grand Prix White (the same colour as the iconic Porsche 908 racing prototype) on a beautiful black leather interior - featuring the sportier Turbo seats. Sold by Porsche Sonauto (official distributor for Porsche France), it has had only 4 owners since new, the current being a renowned French Porsche specialist working in the trade for 3 decades. 

The car comes with its original purchasing invoice from the dealership and a full service history with the original stamped Porsche service book, a full file of receipts and invoices and a Porsche COA. The car is matching numbers: engine, gearbox, chassis. 

Excellent condition

The car is fitted with brand new Michelin Pilot SX tyres, breaks, engine and gearbox are in good condition, it has two new Fuchs alloys at the rear, a new AC compressor, and a functional sunroof. All in all, the car presents exceptionally well and represents a fantastic opportunity for a true Porsche collector seeking to acquire a very rare and desirable collector 911.
