1988 Porsche 911 Super Sport Cabriolet Turbo-Body G50

The 1988 911 3.2 Cabriolet in Turbo-body specification is one of the most compelling configurations from the final generation of air-cooled G-series cars. This example pairs the wider Turbo bodywork — flared arches, rear whale-tail spoiler — with the naturally aspirated 3.2-litre flat-six and the significantly improved G50 five-speed gearbox introduced for 1987. The combination delivers the visual presence of a 930 Turbo with the lighter, more communicative character of the Carrera, a pairing that has grown steadily in collector appeal as the last analogue 911s attract a wider audience.

Finished in Velvet Red Metallic over a Linen/Burgundy leather interior with a brown soft-top, the colour specification is coherent and period-correct. The Fuchs alloy wheels are fitted with Linen Metallic centres — a deliberate echo of the interior trim that points to a carefully considered factory order. Supporting equipment includes heated Recaro seats, a short gear lever, top-tinted windscreen and a period-correct Blaupunkt Toronto stereo.

At 34,000 miles from new with low ownership and a substantial history file, this is the kind of provenance that matters increasingly as values for well-documented G-series cars continue to firm. Turbo-look Cabriolets in this specification remain among the most usable and visually arresting of the air-cooled classics.
