A discreet ‘Carrera’ script logo was fitted on the engine cover. Cars were supplied without the logo under option M498 which was standard for the American market.
1984 to 1986 Porsche script rear reflector panel.
Most Sports Equipment cars, and all of the Supersport Equipment cars, were fitted with the robust Fuchs alloy wheels. Generally speaking, however, the standard cars had the more elegant Teledial alloys. The Carrera adopted a very purposeful stance on either design.
The finishing touches to the body were limited to practical accessories rather than flamboyant features. The door handles, side repeater indicators and screen wipers, front and rear, were all discreet and not overpowering. A black sill-line rubber stretched between the wheelarches and separated the lower flanks from the lower side-skirts. These lower skirts housed the manual jacking point which was also the balancing point or centre of gravity along the length of the car.
The door operation is like no other car; the distinctive and solid ‘clunk’ sound of a 911 door closing is instantly recognisable. The door handles were appropriate for such a gutsy car, and the squeeze lever handle operated with great precision, springing the door open cleanly and smoothly. The hinges, latches and strike plates worked together beautifully, and really made the first venture into 911 territory a pleasure. Shutting the doors required more than just a gentle nudge, more like a solid push actually, but once closed they fitted perfectly. The same was true of all the movable panels, which operated with precision and had perfect fit.
