Porsche began experimenting with turbocharging technology on their racing cars during the late 1960s and, in 1972, began development on a turbocharged version of the 911. They originally needed to produce the car in order to comply with homologation regulations and had intended on marketing it as a street legal racer like the 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS. Ernst Fuhrmann adapted the turbo technology, originally developed for the 917/30 CAN-AM car, to the 3.0 litre flat six from the Carrera RS 3.0, creating what Porsche internally dubbed as a '930'. The Turbo's characteristic flared wheel arches and 'tea-tray' rear spoiler had already been seen on the Carrera model, while the interior was the most luxurious ever seen in a 911, featuring leather upholstery, air conditioning and electric windows. In 1978, the Turbo's engine was enlarged to 3.3 litres, gaining an intercooler 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 than hitherto, yet retaining its high performance edge, the Porsche 930 Turbo sold in the thousands, arguably becoming the definitive sports car of its era.

This absolutely superb right hand drive example is presented in black coachwork over a black leather interior and includes the rare and expensive factory option of Fuhrmann seats! Showing a mere 51,101 miles on the odometer, this Porsche is presented in excellent condition having recently been treated to over £25,000 of work over the last two and half years. Works include an extensive body respray, a full brake overhaul including new brake discs and pads, new Bilstein shock absorbers all round, and four new Pirelli tyres. The heater was also refurbished including cables, clamps, guide tubes, and all hardware. A new fuel system including a new tank, fuel lines, and fuel pumps were also fitted. A new Blaupunkt Bremen radio and new front speakers were fitted, along with the wheels being completely refurbished to the factory anodised finish you see today. A major service was completed at this time and the vendor reports that the 911 is in excellent running and driving condition, the engine sounds fantastic and the four-speed gearbox works well.

The history file that accompanies the car includes all relevant service books, manuals and its original toolkit, which is rare with models of this era. Many sundry bills are also included along with invoices relating to the recent major works, its Porsche certificate of authenticity, and the UK registration document. This These Turbo models offer exhilarating performance from their 3.3 litre engines, outperforming many modern sports cars today. They are highly sought after and are certainly on the bucket list for many collectors. Consigned by Daniel Godin
