Last year that the Porsche 930 was offered
3.3-liter turbo air-cooled flat six
Revealed at the 1974 Paris Auto Show, the concept Porsche 930
sparked a turbo street car era and was the beginning of what would
span a long 15-year production run from 1975 to 1989. Taking their
motorsports experience and applying it to their street car, the 930
became the turbo-boosted hot rod 911 that you could buy from the
factory, with a warranty. Originally released with a 3.0-liter
engine, in 1978 the 930 received a 3.3-liter engine which helped
with turbo lag and power, bumping up the power from 260hp to 300hp.
For the last production year of 1989 all 930s received 5-speed
manual transmissions, making this year special to collectors.
Porsche now makes a 911 Turbo variant for every 911 generation, all
due to the success and critical acclaim to the car that started it
all, the Porsche 930.
Completed at the Porsche factory on November 10th, 1988, this Grand
Prix White Turbo was originally sold at Hexroat International Auto
in East Moline, Illinois on February 25th, 1989. It would be
registered for the first time 10 miles away across the Mississippi
river in Davenport, Iowa. In 1991 the Turbo would be sold to a
collector in Canada, who took immaculate care of the car during
their ownership. Rarely driven and only in excellent weather, the
car was regularly serviced by John Scotti Automobiles in Montreal,
and the 930 was kept in a climate-controlled facility. The car
would remain in Quebec until it arrived at Canepa in June of
2014.
Upon arrival at Canepa, the Grand Prix White 930 was inspected both
meticulously and empathetically. Finding a Porsche 930 with mileage
just over 10,633 miles that had been maintained and taken care of
such as this example was a rare find. After Canepa's inspection,
the car was found to be in both excellent mechanical and cosmetic
condition, worthy to be presented on any show lawn. The car was
then sold to a client of Canepa's in August 31st, 2015 which was
just in time for Rennsport V. He would enjoy the car for close to 2
years before the car returned to Canepa as part of a trade for
another vehicle from Canepa's inventory, and the car was then sold
to its most recent owner.
The Porsche 911 Turbo, referred to as the 930 by many, was a
milestone for Porsche both on the street and racetrack. Without the
930, there wouldn't be a 934, a 935, and all the races and
championships that those cars won. With direct lineage to the race
track, these street cars combine a level of raw unadulterated power
with pure driver enjoyment. Now available for its new owner and
just in time for Rennsport VI, you too can drive the Porsche that
started it all for all 911 Turbos that we know today.
