Hire this Porsche 930 Supersport for your event

Possibly the ultimate version of the 3.2 Carrera was an Option M491-Turbo-look or Supersport as it later became known in the UK. Initially, Option M491 was only available on a coupe through the Special Wishes programme, but was later extended to include a Turbo-Look Targa and Cabriolet in 1985, then became an official model from 1986. From 1987 the designation was officially known as SSE (Supersport Equipment) was not just a sop to the excesses of the 1980s, with flared arches evoking the appearance of some dramatic Porsche models from the past, but was a popular option offering the good looks of the Turbo without the mechanical complexities. However, it was not cheap adding over £10,000 to the cost of a standard variant by the end of the model life in 1989, possibly explaining the relatively small build numbers. The spec also included a limited-slip differential, the stiffer suspension and superior braking system from the 930 Turbo, a wrap-around deep chin-spoiler, the famous tea-tray rear spoiler, and wider Fuchs alloy wheels. The rarity of M491/Supersport models is undeniable, especially in right-hand drive, but official figures are hard to come by. A respected source quotes that just 651 C16 (UK-supplied) M491 cars (including all Coupes, Targas and Cabriolets) were built between 1984 and 1989.

Manufactured in 1985 in right-hand drive, this stunning 911 Carrera 3.2 was indeed one of those Option M491-Turbo-look cars making it rather exclusive, however, its exclusivity was taken to the next level as it was finished from new in Paint to Sample (Code L999) Meteor Grey Metallic, a superb colour for these distinctive Turbo-bodied cars and head and shoulders above the flurry of Guards Red, black and white 911s. First registered to AFN Porsche it was optioned with, electric sunroof, central locking, electric passenger seat, rear wiper and electric passenger mirror.
