The 911 needs no introduction. Unveiled in 1963, the successor to the Porsche 356 quickly achieved iconic status in its day – a status it has retained throughout the decades since. At the same time, if there was one mechanical craze that left a lasting mark on the 1970s, it was undoubtedly the turbo. A new legend was born, as Porsche struck a chord with its audience – those seeking ever-stronger thrills – by turbocharging the 3-litre flat-six engine. A winning formula in the 911’s history, as the Turbo variant is still in production today.
At its launch, the car – which was quickly nicknamed the 930 in reference to its internal engine code at Porsche – carried the DNA of competition, having been developed to qualify for Group 5 homologation. Yet, in 1975, production began and orders poured in. In a Europe particularly hard-hit by the oil crisis, the survival of the 911 Turbo was nothing short of a miracle. Despite a few teething problems that made it particularly difficult to handle on the road – such as sudden acceleration caused by the turbocharger – Porsche continued to refine the design to make its flagship model a little more civilised.
It must be said that the Porsche 911 Turbo is a sight to behold. With its wide hips and imposing rear wing, its appearance is as wild as its handling. Fun fact: it was around the same time that speed limits were introduced in France… For the 911 Turbo races along at breakneck speeds, fuelled by the 260 chevaux unleashed by its six-cylinder engine: a top speed of over 250 kilometres per hour and less than 6 seconds to reach 100 km/h. There is no doubt that the 911 Turbo is indeed Porsche’s first supercar.
In 1977, it underwent mechanical upgrades: the engine capacity increased to 3.3 litres, boosting power to 300 chevaux; whilst comfort was greatly improved with heated seats and air conditioning. However, the spirit of the 911 Turbo remains intact: there are no electronic aids to correct driving errors, especially when the turbo kicks in at 3,500 revolutions per minute. At the wheel of the car nicknamed the ‘widowmaker’, you are the sole master of this powerhouse.
The ‘930’ we are delighted to present is a version fitted with the more powerful 3.3-litre engine and featuring a less spartan specification than the first-generation 930.
Rolling off the production line in December 1984, our 930 is a 1985 model 911 Turbo coupé, which was first registered on 4 February 1986 in France. According to the Histovec report included in the file, it has had only five owners, the first and second of whom kept it for around twenty and ten years respectively.
In addition to this stable ownership history, it was originally a rare example in Prussian Blue, which was repainted a few years ago in another shade of blue, albeit a darker one; whilst the interior, whose upholstery was also partially refitted in 2018, has retained its original configuration, with Prussian Blue trim and seats in Cobalt semi-leather and striped fabric. Enough to instantly transport its future owner back to the 1980s!
From an authenticity perspective, it is also worth noting that this 911 Turbo 3.3L has the advantage of retaining all its original mechanical components (engine and gearbox). This is a testament to the care taken with the car throughout its life and remains a crucial factor for the most discerning Porsche enthusiasts.
It is also fitted with 16-inch black Fuchs ‘Turbo’ wheels, yellow fog lights, a rear windscreen wiper, electric windows and mirrors, air conditioning (to be recommissioned), sports seats and a Blaupunkt Atlanta car radio, as well as a 40% limited-slip differential to improve traction. It therefore boasts an excellent specification, which was, in fact, the subject of a special order (known as ‘Z’, which later became the ‘Sonderwunsch’ programme).
This 930 has just under 164,500 km on the odometer, which, following a malfunction of the odometer between 2019 and 2024, to an actual mileage of approximately 170,000 km, based on MOT reports and other documentation in the file. This is a perfectly reasonable mileage for a car of this type. All the more so as it has undergone a full service in recent years, including a gearbox overhaul and clutch replacement in particular, with some of the work carried out at Porsche Limoges. It is therefore a 930 that is currently in excellent condition, both in terms of appearance and performance. The MOT report is, in fact, virtually spotless. Our test drive left us thoroughly impressed and brought a broad smile to our faces with every acceleration, thanks to its characteristically lively ‘kick’!
Original accessories, such as the car radio, tool kit, spare wheel and tyre inflator, are still included with the car. It also comes with a comprehensive file of invoices, MOT certificates and a 2021 expert valuation report.
The 911 Turbo is a legend that’s becoming a rare sight on our roads. Let’s be honest: a car like this will delight discerning Porsche enthusiasts, whether for its unusual specification, its condition or its history; especially at such an attractive asking price, this 930 is a real gem. So put your foot down and snap it up – and if you can master it, you’ll travel back in time with it!
