1987 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe

The 930 was built between 1975 and 1989. It was the makers top-of-the-range 911 model for its entire production run and at the time of its introduction, it was the fastest production car available from Germany. Porsche badged the vehicle simply as 'Turbo' although early United States units were badged as the 'Turbo Carrera.'

In the early days, the total output from the engine was 256 horsepower, which was much more than the standard Carrera. Wider rear wheels with upgraded tires combined with flared wheel arches were added to increase the car's width and grip, making it considerably more stable at speed.

Porsche made it first and most significant changes to the 930 for 1978, enlarging the engine to 3.3 liters and adding an air-to-air intercooler. By cooling the pressurized air charge, the intercooler helped increase power output to 300 horsepower. Porsche also upgraded the brakes to units similar to those used on the 917 race car.

Changing emissions regulations in the America forced Porsche to withdraw the 930 from the United States market in 1980. Porsche re-introduced the 930 to the United States market in 1986 with an emission-controlled engine producing 378 horsepower. At the same time Porsche introduced Targa and Cabriolet variants, both of which proved to be popular.

This is an unrestored, original example with just 42,000 miles.
