Under the rear decklid, you’ll find a RUF-inspired and numbered 3.4L single turbo engine, originally built by the legendary Lee Rice in California for a Californian CTR. This powerhouse has been further enhanced by a German Porsche enthusiast and engineer, who equipped it with a TurboKraft EFI system. The result? A thrilling 441 HP that can be dialed back with adjustable boost control, making this car as versatile as it is exhilarating.
Whether you’re cruising scenic country roads or devouring miles on the Autobahn, this 911 delivers. The long-ratio 4-speed gearbox feels almost too short for the level of power and acceleration this engine produces. The EFI system not only improves fuel efficiency but also enhances drivability at lower speeds. The infamous 930’s turbo kick is very much alive, but now with a smoother, more controlled delivery that makes the car safer and even more enjoyable to drive.
In essence, this is a 930 Turbo slightly modernized – technically superior and with the same timeless looks. The Slate Blue Metallic exterior is beautifully complemented by a rich Saddle Brown full leather interior, tastefully upgraded with Rennline pedals and subtle steel accents on the doors.
The new engine has less than 10,000 km on it, and despite the car’s well-documented high mileage (as shown in its clean CarFax report – mostly from US highway commuting), this Porsche presents itself in exceptional condition. All wear and tear parts (including axles, bearings, suspension, brakes) have been meticulously maintained, with multiple replacements, most recently in Germany. This car, originally a German-delivered model imported to the US in 1984, comes with both a copy of the US title for easy re-importation and full German registration with TÜV certification for all modifications—including the impressive 8×16 FUCHS front wheels and 9×16 rears, both without spacers.
This is not a car for the purists who demand absolute originality. This is a car for those who appreciate to own a better 930 Turbo that’s been thoughtfully and subtly enhanced, combining cutting-edge performance with one of the most striking color combinations ever offered by Porsche in the 1980s.
