One to Buy: Special Order 26,000 mile 1987 Porsche 911 3.3 Turbo Flachbau Coupe (930)
/
Within weeks of the flat-nosed 935 racing car making its Mugello debut in March 1976, customers began to commission road-going replicas from the likes of Kremer and DP.
Porsche finally got in on the act in 1980 when a wickedly expensive Flachbau was quietly offered through the ‘Sonderwunsch’ special wish department. The original factory Flachbau design was then refined to incorporate pop-up headlights for 1984.
In late 1986, Porsche decided to offer the Flachbau through the official global dealer network. It became the most expensive option the company had ever offered, adding more than the cost of a well-equipped 944 to the price of a stock 930!
Along with the UK, the United States proved a really good market for the Flachbau once it began to be widely promoted for the 1987 model year and currently on the market with Broad Arrow Private Sales is a special order California-domiciled Coupe.
Chassis WP0JB0932HS051379 was configured in Grand Prix White with a rare 98-option code two-tone interior that comprised Burgundy for the seats, dash, steering wheel and door caps and Black for the door panels, centre console, and carpet. ‘S051379’ was further optioned with a limited slip differential, steering wheel with raised hub and an alarm system.
Sold new through Carlsen Porsche in Redwood City on March 19th 1988, the numbers matching car comes complete with a fully documented history and is currently showing a little over 26,000 miles.
