Model History:
The iconic Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera, the German automaker’s first true production supercar, was introduced in 1974 and began production in 1975, though it wasn’t until 1976 for the US market to receive their first shipments. Although it is immediately identifiable as a 911, the Type 930, as it was internally designated, initially featured a 3.0-liter flat-six boasting a single KKK turbocharger with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection. Output was, at 245 horsepower for US-market cars (260 horsepower elsewhere), immense for the period, especially considering its weight of less than 2,700 pounds. At the hands of a talented driver, the 930 can sprint to 60 mph in just over five seconds and easily top 150 mph.
As such, the Turbo name quickly became synonymous with high performance, albeit performance that demanded the talents of an experienced driver: This is a wickedly fast car that can easily punish those who do not approach it with skill and respect. Of course, this only added to its appeal and is still renowned for its driving dynamics today. Also, while the 930 served as the homologation basis for Porsche’s fearsome 934 racers, it was no stripped-down track weapon. Turbos were luxuriously equipped, with a long list of standard equipment including air-conditioning, full leather, a rear wiper, headlamp washers, and a stereo. Further options, including a power sunroof, were offered as well.
In 1978, Porsche updated the model with a larger 3.3-liter engine with a stated US-market output of 253 horsepower, an air-to-air intercooler, revised suspension, and new brakes. With the US emissions restrictions tightening once again in 1980, 1979 became the last model year that the Porsche 930 was specified for the American market for some time to come.
