This 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo coupe is a US-market example that was optioned with slantnose bodywork as part of Porsche’s Sonderwunsch (Special Wishes) program and was reportedly the first M505-equipped example delivered in the US. Used as a press car, it was displayed at multiple events in 1987 including the Indianapolis Toys for Grown Ups Expo, the 5th Annual Atlanta International Auto Show, and the Greater New York International Auto Show before being featured on the cover of the June 1987 issue of Automobile Magazine. It was purchased from Langeland Porsche of Indianapolis in August 1987, and it spent time in Connecticut, Florida, and California before being exported to Belgium in 2015 and to Malta in 2021. Finished in Diamond Blue Metallic over burgundy leather upholstery, the car is powered by a turbocharged 3.3-liter flat-six mated to a four-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential. Equipment consists of a sunroof, a tea tray rear spoiler, power-adjustable front seats, air conditioning, and Alpine audio equipment. This 911 Turbo flachbau has 55k miles and is now offered with the owner’s manual, warranty booklet, and window sticker as well as service records, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, correspondence from Porsche Cars North America, a copy of Automobile Magazine, service records, and Maltese registration.
