The M491 option was first introduced in 1984 and features front and rear spoilers from the contemporary 911 Turbo as well as wider front and rear fenders. The car left the factory finished in Pastel Beige and has been refinished in silver. Additional exterior details include a black removable Targa roof panel, a 964 Turbo-style front bumper, heated power-adjustable mirrors, boxed rocker panels, and quarter panel vents with strakes.

The cabin features Recaro front seats upholstered in black leather with lighter piping. Amenities include an alarm system, automatic heating control, air conditioning, and power windows and locks.
The MOMO steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a central tachometer with a 6,300-rpm redline as well as a 170-mph speedometer, a Quarz clock, and gauges for oil level, oil pressure, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 38k miles, approximately 4k of which were added under current ownership.
