1986 Porsche 930 Turbo

Experimenting with turbocharging technology on their race cars during the late 1960’s, 1975 heralded the release of Porsche’s first turbocharged production car – the type 930 Turbo.

Initially designed as a homologation special I the spirit of the Carrera RS, the race-bred 930 Turbo went on to become Porsche’s premium production model for the 911 range between 1975 to 1989 and the world’s best supercar.

Adorned on almost all of our bedroom walls alongside its direct competition, the Testarossa and the Countach, the 930 Turbo offered a whirring purring air-cooled flat six-cylinder engine with single KKK turbocharger and Bosch electric fuel injection, a robust four-speed manual transmission to handle the immense raw power, independent front and rear suspension, ventilated and cross-drilled power disc brakes all beneath arguably the most evocative Porsche design ever penned.

In an evolution that spanned over a sum of 14 years, the Turbo journey started with the humble beginnings of the 3.0ltr flat-six from the Carrera RS and developing 256HP and concluding with 330HP from its 3.3ltr variant: in either variant, the 911 Turbo was not for the faint hearted. The later improvements saw upgraded braking system from the 917 race car, a hydraulic clutch and 5-speed transmission for driving ease, firmer shock absorbers and anti-roll bars and in integrated intercooler for the turbocharging system.
