Please contact us for more information. The Porsche 930 Turbo
Porsche\'s most iconic model, the long-running 911 sports car first
appeared at the 1963 Frankfurt Show as the \'901\' but shortly
after production commenced in 1964 it was renamed as the \'911\'.
The preceding Type 356\'s rear-engine layout was retained but the
911 switched to unitary construction for the bodyshell and dropped
the 356\'s VW-based suspension in favor of a more modern McPherson
strut and trailing arm arrangement. In its first incarnation,
Porsche\'s single-overhead-camshaft, air-cooled flat six engine
displaced 1,991cc and produced 130bhp; progressively enlarged and
developed, it would eventually grow to more than 3.0 liters and, in
turbo-charged form, put out well over 300 horsepower. Group 4
homologation rules, which required 400 road cars to be built, led
to the formation of \'Project 930\' - the legendary 911 Turbo.
Production began in April of 1975; the Turbo married a KKK
turbocharger to the 3.0-litre RSR engine; in road trim a
combination that delivered 260bhp for a top speed of 155 mph. As
impressive as this was there was more to the Turbo then just top
speed, it was also the best-equipped 911 and amazingly flexible -
hence only four speeds in the gearbox - being capable of racing
from a standstill to 100mph in 14 seconds. Borrowing the flared
wheel arches and \'tea tray\' rear spoiler from the Carrera model,
the Turbo made them renowned. Incorporating the most luxurious
interior yet seen in a 911, the Turbo featured leather upholstery,
air conditioning and electric windows. The Turbo\'s engine was
enlarged to 3.3 liters for 1978, gaining an inter-cooler in the
process; power increased to 300bhp and the top speed of what was
the fastest-accelerating road car of its day went up to 160mph.
More refined and offering better performance than its predecessor,
the Turbo sold in the thousands, becoming the definitive sports car
of its age. The Porsche 930 Turbo Offered This Low-Mileage and
