Really? You buy a car like this without knowing what it is or even bothering to google it?

This is almost as strange as your RWB thread over in 964 forum (or is it another promo?).

The M491 is the factory option code for a wide-bodied car. It is essentially a 930 turbo with the 3.2 non-turbo engine. These cars are also known as 911 Turbo-Look (TL) and 911 Super Sport.

The M470 is the factory option code for spoiler delete.

You have a rare car. Enjoy it and take good care of it.

Nice! Love the red! I've got an M491 as well and love the body style. Not as nimble as a NB, but still lots of fun to drive.
