1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe G50
The 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe is highly regarded for its blend of classic design and modern engineering. The G50 refers to the 5-speed gearbox introduced in 1987, known for its smoother and more precise shifting compared to the older 915 transmission. Powered by a robust 3.2-liter flat-six engine, the 1988 Carrera delivers 228 horsepower, providing an exhilarating driving experience with Porsche's signature rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive dynamics.
This model represents the final years of the "impact bumper" era (1974-1989), marking the end of an iconic design phase in Porsche's history. Its timeless styling, solid build quality, and mechanical simplicity make it a reliable and enjoyable sports car.
This example finished in Granite Green Metallic (L699), was delivered new to South Africa in June 1988. It comes with full servicing history until 2020 when it was brought into Singapore. It has been maintained by the Auto Icons team since. It comes with functioning A/C and adjustable electric seats.
The 1988 Carrera G50 is sought after due to its relative rarity and historical significance. The G50 transmission models are particularly desirable among collectors, and air-cooled Porsches have consistently appreciated in value in recent decades. Its balance of drivability and long-term value makes it a sound investment for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
