THE PORSCHE 930 TURBO

"It offers the finest blend of ultimate performance and refinement I have ever come across..." – Paul Frère on the Porsche 911 Turbo. What set the 911 Turbo apart from its peers was the relaxed way this stupefying performance was delivered. Comparing the Turbo to similarly quick 'he-man' cars such as the Holman & Moody-tuned Cobra 427 and the Ford GT40, Motor's Roger Bell reckoned what made the Porsche so different was that it "hurls you forward with similar velocity but in an uncannily quiet and effortless way. To be shoved so hard in the back that you need high-back seats to keep your head on, yet neither to feel nor hear anything more than a muffled hum, is a very odd sensation indeed in a car."

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

This handsome 930 was finished at the Zuffenhausen factory in January 1987. The early history of the car is not as of yet known, but according to the CARFAX report, it was in Texas at the beginning of the millennium. Finished in white over burgundy hides and outfitted with an optional Blaupunkt cassette radio, the current owner acquired the car in May 2005 with 9,273 miles—a figure corroborated by the CARFAX report. Since acquisition, the speedometer was replaced with a metric unit and the odometer re-zeroed. An additional 146 kilometers are now showing, but the original mileage cannot be verified.

Complete with a tool roll, it has been exceedingly sparingly used since purchase and largely been on static display. As such, recommissioning is recommended prior to finding out what happens when you lift in the middle of a corner. One of the most raw and unbridled cars available on the market in its day, the 930 3.3 Turbo has rightfully earned its place as a legend, and it is quite rare to find an example that has been as carefully maintained and unfettered as this.
