For those looking for a significantly up-rated 930 Turbo, Porsche
Stuttgart and a handful of Porsche importers could offer just that
through the fitment of a 'Group B' package. These were modified for
greater performance and consisted of a larger oil cooler,
intercooler and turbocharger. A driver-adjustable boost control
from a 935 was installed, and cylinder heads with lower compression
were fitted to accommodate the increase in boost. The only external
clue that this was not a stock Turbo was the RS/RSR-style oil
radiator in the front valance. This Group B kit was only available
from the factory or via Porsche/VAG-owned importers due to the
extensive modifications required.
This example was imported and modified by Porsche's Swedish
distributor, VAG, and was first delivered on 15 January 1988
through Porsche Stockholm. It is known to have had two previous
private owners before coming into the hands of the consignor.
Finished in Guards Red over black leather, it is equipped with
standard Turbo fare, including wider wheels and tires under
dramatically flared fenders, a rear 'Whale-tail' spoiler, an
electric sunroof, power-adjustable sport seats, electric windows, a
rear wiper, headlamp washers, fog lamps, security system and
automatic climate-control.
Supplied with all its original manuals and service books, T�V
inspection records, air compressor, spare key and a mint tool kit,
this handsome Turbo shows less than 42,000 km on its odometer.
Amazingly, the majority of the paintwork on the car is original,
with the exception of the left-hand door and rear fender, which as
been repainted. Even the original invitation to join the Porsche
Owners' Club of Sweden remains incomplete in the service book. Only
677 J-Program Turbos were produced for 'Rest-of-the-World'
customers; this is among the more unusual and certainly among the
most rapid. To view this car and others currently consigned to this
auction, please visit the RM website at
