In 1974, Porsche released the first prototype of the 911 Turbo. 260 hp from a 3-liter engine, equipped with a turbocharger. Only BMW released the 2002 Turbo around the same time. This was truly unique in the passenger car world. Turbo engines had never before been developed for public roads. By now, it is commonplace; in fact, Porsche is one of the few manufacturers that still offers a naturally aspirated engine in its GT models. After the first few thousand 3.0-liter models, the 3.3 Turbo was introduced in 1977. By then, it produced 300 hp with an intercooler and power that came in more gradually, thus without the abrupt pressure build-up seen in the first widowmakers. Although production ceased in 1989, the 930 Turbo is still considered one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. You do have to work for it, though. A four-speed manual gearbox (the five-speed couldn't handle the power and was only offered in the final model year) and no power steering. That is what real driving is all about! Furthermore, the 930 is a great all-rounder. You can simply take it to the bakery to pick up rolls and then head to the track at 250+ on the Autobahn. A 930 like that doesn't flinch. Coming soon to our auction is a red example, fully documented and from a private collection.
