For 1978, Porsche updated the 911 Turbo (930) by boring and stroking the engine from 3.0 liters to 3.3 liters and was fitted with an intercooler. This resulted in the engine then being rated by Porsche at 265 hp at 5,500 RPM and 291 ftlb of torque at 4,000 rpm, mated to a 4speed manual transmission.

In 1975, Porsche introduced the 930 model: a turbocharged upgrade of the 911. It was ranked first as the quickest car of the 1970s with a 0-60mph time of 4.9 seconds, which was almost a half a second faster than second place. The speed the 930 could achieve helped it earn the nickname the "Widowmaker".

This 1978 model was the first of the 930s to have an air-to-air intercooler. The engine bore was also enlarged by 2mm for a total displacement of 3.3 liters for the turbocharged flat-6 engine. All of this increased the power output to 296 horsepower at 5,500 rpms. The famous "whale tail" was raised slightly to make room for the intercooler and Porsche enthusiasts gave the spoiler a new nickname, the "tea tray".
