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

Completed at the Zuffenhausen-based Porsche works in September of 1986 as a 1987 mode-year car, this excellent example of the classic 911 Turbo was finished just as it appears today, in a stealth black exterior color over a black partial leather interior. The Porsche was equipped for the US market, and optioned with electric sliding sunroof, Dunlop tires, alarm system and a Blaupunkt Reno radio. According to the CARFAX report on file, the black 930 resided in Florida in 1988, but would then relocate to California, where it appears to have stayed ever since, with the exception of a 2-year stint on the Hawaiian Islands. The report tracks the mileage diligently and documents the 51,080 miles on the odometer at the time of cataloging as being genuine.

Today this stunning 930 3.3 Turbo Coupe remains in excellent original and unrestored condition, with factory finishes intact throughout. The car has a superb feel of a car that has been extremely well cared for. The interior is crisp, and the paint gleams. Factory decals are in place all over the car, which is further validation of the car's authenticity. The 930 is offered with the original Blaupunkt radio, tool kit, owner's manuals and COA. 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.
