1988 Porsche 911 Carrera TARGA

1984-1989 911. The cars of this period are often referred to as Carreras or “3.2”s in deference to the use of a 3.2 liter engine, he only normally aspirated engine offered.
Beginning in 1984 the word “Carrera” was attached to the engine lid of every normally aspirated 911. The body and styling of the 3.2 was essentially the same as the SC which was essentially the same as the 2.7 (flared wheel arches aside). Indeed, rom a distance and the right angle it's easy to mistake a 1974 for a 1989. The engine lid is the easiest place to look for help. It was labeled “911”, ldquo;911S” or “Carrera” from 1974 to 1977, ldquo;SC” from 1978 to 1983 and “Carrera” again from 1984 to 1989 but this time in slightly larger font than in the '74 to '75 model. The 1984 to 1989 cars also had fog lights fully integrated into the front spoiler, s earlier models that were bolted to the spoiler but not built into it.
MODELS: Models available in the 911 Carrera were the coupe, arga and cabriolet. As always, argas have a reasonably well deserved reputation for "leaks and squeaks" so a drive at highway speeds and the garden hose test are probably good ideas. This period is also noted for the many special models introduced at various times including the Turbo Look (a standard 911 with the body from a 911 Turbo), lub Sport (weight reduced for sport use), peedster (a special 1989 cabriolet with a raked and shortened windshield and a “temporary” convertible top) and an Anniversary edition (1988 Blue paint model celebrating 25 years of 911 production).
IMPROVEMENTS: Various improvements took place during the '84 to '89 Carrera production period making some years more desirable than others. For example,1987 was the first year that the power operated top for the cabriolet was made standard equipment. 1987 also saw an increase in 911 horsepower from 207 to 217 as well as being the year that the much more friendly G50 transmission replaced the 915 transmission, n use since 1972.
ENGINE: The '84 to '89 911s all used the 3.2L six, larger displacement version of the 3.0L but with improved chain tensioners and head studs resolving many of the SC engine issues.

Horsepower by year was as follows:
1984- 1986- all models: 207 hp
1987- 1989- all models: 217 hp
