After a six-year absence, the venerable Type 930 returned to
Porsche's line-up in 1986. It again became their top-of-the-line
911 and delivered with it very impressive performance. With a new
Bosch DMR engine management system and an oxygen sensor, the Type
930/68 3.3-liter turbocharged and intercooled engine produced a
healthy 282 horsepower, enough to launch the car to 60-mph from a
standing start in just 4.6 seconds and to a top speed of almost
160-mph. Only 1,424 U.S.-specification 911 Turbos were built for
that model year.
This 1986 Porsche 930 is equipped with a 3,164-cc, 282-hp flat
six-cylinder engine that is teamed up with a four-speed manual
transaxle. The four-wheel disc brakes provide stopping power in a
safe, predictable manner. A large intercooler is housed within the
"tea-tray" rear spoiler. This 930 is painted in red with a
complementary tan interior. Though this car is a high performance
racecar in street clothing, it is still equipped with power brakes,
power windows, air conditioning and an AM/FM radio.
The 1986 930 could do 0- to 60-mph in about 4.6 seconds; compared
to that of select Ferraris or Corvette who had a hard time breaking
eight seconds. This vehicle illustrates the advancements that
Porsche was making in a dedicated fashion over the years with the
continuing goal of outperforming their competitors.
