By 1989, the "G-body" 911 Turbo that had captivated the automotive world since the 1974 Paris Motor Show and catapulted Porsche to supercar status was 14 years old. A restyle was overdue, and in 1991, just two years after the Carrera 4 and Carrera 2 debuted, the new 911 Turbo arrived. Internally named the Type 965, the updated body borrowed styling cues from the futuristic 959, wearing more form-fitting front and rear bumpers and streamlined side sills. The 959's influence continued underneath the new panels, with the traditional torsion bar front suspension having been replaced by coil springs, in addition to power-steering and anti-lock brakes making their first appearance on series production 911 Turbos. Now making 320 horsepower, the era-defining 3.3-liter air-cooled, turbocharged engine would only last two more years. In essence, the 1991 and 1992 3.3-liter Turbo was a highly refined version of the legendary and already well-appointed Type 930 with the most luxurious interior ever fitted to a 911, featuring leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, dual airbags, air conditioning, and electric windows as standard.
According to its Porsche build sheet this 1992 Porsche 911 Turbo was first invoiced on 23 August 1991 with its original service book shows that it was sold on 30 April 1992 via Piave Motori the official Porsche dealership in Genova, Italy. What was delivered to its first owner was a very unique and impressive specification. Its specification of Satin Black Metallic over Sherwood Green full leather interior with Sherwood Green carpeting must put it among the rarest and most attractive color combinations ordered in 1992. Green leather covers the seats, dashboard, door panels and pockets, and the center console with the shifter and hand brake among other surfaces. Including the optional paint and interior, the Turbo's base price was additionally supplemented with optional extras including an electric sliding sunroof and a top-tinted windscreen.
The original service book and research into the history of the car show long-term Italian ownership between four owners (a prominent Italian fashion designer among them) before being exported from Italy in 2015 and acquired by an esteemed collector based in Germany. Paperwork on file shows a 2017 visit to Hotfiel KFZ Technik of Kirchlengern, Germany for an intensive detail and restorative work that included wheel refinishing, new Michelin tires, a dry ice treatment to the underbody, and more. With all 911 Turbo variants rightfully considered collectible, Porsche collectors are highly motivated to seek out the most interesting and most original versions of the breed. With an exceptional delivery specification and a high degree of originality, this fine example is offered with its toolkit, jack, spare, and Italian owner's manuals, previous ownership, and service documentation.
