The 1988 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet ordered in the rare M505 slant-nose configuration was one of the most distinctive iterations of the legendary 930 platform. Derived from Porsche's 935 race program, the slant-nose treatment reshapes the front fenders with pop-up headlamps and integrated fender-mounted turn signals, giving the car a purposeful, aerodynamic profile unlike any standard 911. Beneath the flared bodywork sits the iconic 3.3-liter turbocharged flat-six, delivering forceful power through a single KKK turbocharger and paired with Porsche's robust four-speed manual gearbox.
