1976 Porsche 930 Turbo

The Porsche 930 Turbo was a genuine 'Supercar' that defined the seventies and eighties. It was one of the fastest production cars available at the time. It was first seen at the 1973 Paris Auto Show and full production commenced two years later. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS which was increased to 3.0Litres and, of course, turbocharged with technology gained from Porsche's 917/30 Can-Am program. The bodywork received special treatment to produce one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear whale-tail. The brakes came directly from the Porsche 917 race car. The final evolution of the 930 Turbo saw the engine capacity increased to 3299cc, with improved upgrades on the intercooler and fitment of the G50 transmission. By 1989, the final year of production, the power had risen to 330bhp.

Offered here is a 1976 left-hand drive 930 3.0 litre Turbo, one of the early cars built, this being no.00313 off the line. Originally delivered to its first owner in the United States, the car was used sparingly during the 80s, before making its way to Europe in the early 2000s.

Presented in the classic 1970´s colour scheme of brown with a tan leather interior and brown carpets, this car presents nicely having never been restored. Open the driver's door and the original Blaupunkt stereo remains in place, whilst the rest of the cabin has a nice patina, with original features such as the air-conditioning still working. This car has recently been serviced by Porsche, for which there is a bill in the history file.

This 930 Turbo still turn heads wherever it goes and lives up to its iconic status as a true 1970's supercar. Unmolested cars in original condition like this one rarely come to market, making this an opportunity not to miss.
